Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges of static or electricity.

  1. For each device you want to connect, use its power cable to connect the device's AC socket to any available outlet on the eco PDU. Use ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders to secure them.

Note: See Securing the Cables, page 21, for details.

  1. Plug the Ethernet cable that connects the eco PDU to the LAN into the eco PDU's LAN port.

  2. (Optional) If you are using environmental sensors in your eco PDU installation, connect up to four to the RJ-11 sensor ports on the unit's front panel.

Note: See Optional Accessories, page 8, and the installation diagrams later in this chapter for further information.

  1. (Optional) If you are using a door sensor in your eco PDU installation, connect it to the 4-pin dry sensor port on the unit's front panel.

Note: See Door Sensor, page 8, for further information.

  1. Depending on your model, connect the eco PDU's built-in power cord to an AC power source, or use the power cord provided to connect the eco PDU's power socket to an AC power source.

Once you have finished these installation steps, you can turn on the eco PDU and the connected devices.

Basic Operation and

First-Time Setup

Operation Methods

NRGence eco PDU models provide three methods to be accessed and managed: Browser, eco DC (Energy & DCIM management web GUI), and SNMP.

Note: The following sections of this chapter contain information concerning Browser operation. For eco DC operation, please refer to the eco DC user manual. The eco DC and user manual can be downloaded from the ATEN website.

Browser

NRGence eco PDUs can be accessed and controlled via any supported Internet browser from any platform. See First-Time Setup, page 24, and the following sections in this chapter, for full details.

eco DC

All eco PDUs support eco DC (Energy & DCIM management web GUI). NRGence eco DC provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you to configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected to it. NRGence eco DC can be downloaded from the ATEN website, along with a separate eco DC user manual.

SNMP

NRGence eco PDUs support any 3rd-party V1, V2, V3 SNMP manager software. SNMP Management Information Database (MIB) files for the eco PDU device can be found on the software CD provided with the eco PDU package, or can be downloaded from the ATEN website.

First-Time Setup

Once the eco PDU installation and connections have been completed, the Administrator shall start configuring its network parameters, including changing the default Administrator login settings and adding users.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to log in to it with a browser using a PC within the same LAN.

Note: 1. Since this is the first time you are logging in, use the default username and password administrator and password. For security purposes, users should change the login credentials to something unique after logging in(see Changing the Administrator Login, page 26).

  1. For remote methods of getting logged into the network, see IP Address Determination, page 68.

After you successfully log in, the eco PDU Energy/Connections page appears:

■ Login String

The Login String entry field is used to specify a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users must include when accessing the eco PDU device with a browser. For example:

192.168.0.126/abcdefg

◆ The following characters are allowed:

0-9 a-z A-Z \~! @ \$ * () _ ' ,

◆ The following characters are not allowed:

$$ \& ^ {\wedge} {} ^ {\prime \prime} < > | \%": /? # \backslash [ \text {Space} ] + - = [ ]; $$

Compound characters (É Ç ñ ... etc.)

Note: 1. There must be a forward slash between the IP address and the string.

  1. If no login string is specified here, anyone will be able to access the eco PDU device login page using the IP address alone. This makes your installation less secure.

For security purposes, we recommend that you change this string occasionally.

■ IP Filter / MAC Filter

If any filters have been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.

IP and MAC Filters control access to the eco PDU based on the IP and/or MAC addresses of the client computers attempting to connect. A maximum of 5 IP filters and 5 MAC filters are allowed.

To enable IP and/or MAC filtering, check the IP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox.

- If the include button is checked, all addresses within the filter range are allowed access, while all other addresses are denied access.

- If the exclude button is checked, all addresses within the filter range are denied access, while all other addresses are allowed access.

Adding Filters

To add an IP filter, do the following:

  1. Click Add. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:

The page at https://172.17.17.6 says: Enter the start IP address (for example, 192.168.0.1): OK Cancel

  1. Specify the filter address in the dialog box (for example, 192.168.0.200), then click OK.

A second dialog box, similar to the one below, appears:

The page at https://172.17.17.6 says: Enter the end IP address (for example, 192.168.1.255): OK Cancel

  1. To filter a single IP address, key in the same address as the start IP. To filter a continuous range of addresses, key in the end number of the range (for example, 192.168.0.225).

  2. After filling in the address, click OK.

Repeat these steps for any additional IP address ranges you want to filter.

To add a MAC filter, do the following:

  1. Click Add. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:

The page at https://172.17.17.6 says: Enter the MAC address (for example, 004854655511): OK Cancel

  1. Specify the MAC address in the dialog box (for example, 001074670000), then click OK.

Repeat these steps for any additional MAC addresses you want to filter.

IP Filter / MAC Filter Conflict

If there is a conflict between an IP and MAC filter — for example, where a computer's IP address is allowed by the IP filter but its MAC address is excluded by the MAC filter — then that computer's access is blocked.

In other words, if either filter blocks a computer, then the computer is blocked, no matter what the other filter is set to.

Modifying Filters

To modify a filter, select it in the IP Filter or MAC Filter list box and click Modify. The Modify dialog box is similar to the Add dialog box. When it comes up, simply delete the old address(es) and replace it with the new one(s).

Deleting Filters

To delete a filter, select it in the IP Filter or MAC Filter list box and click Delete.

Where xxxx represents the Username given to the user when the account was created on the eco PDU device. The user's access rights equivalent to the ones assigned for the eco PDU device. (See Device Management, page 43.)

Note: su/user supports view ports only; su/administrator supports all eco PDU functions.

Private Certificate

When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a self-signed certificate or importing a third-party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate.

■ Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility — openssl.exe — is available for download over the web.

■ Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate

For better ensured security, we recommend using a third-party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third-party signed certificate, go to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After the CA sends you the certificate and private encryption key, save them to a convenient location on your computer.

■ Importing the Private Certificate

To import the private certificate, do the following:

  1. Click Browse to the right of Private Key to locate the location path of the private encryption key file, and select it.
  2. Click Browse to the right of Certificateto locate the location path of the certificate file, and select it.

3. Click Upload to complete the procedure.

Note: 1. Clicking Restore Default returns the device to using the default ATEN certificate.

  1. Both the private encryption key and the signed certificate must be imported at the same time.

When you have finished making your settings on this page, click Save.

IP Address Determination

If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the eco PDU in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are two methods to choose from. In each case, your client computer must be on the same network segment as the eco PDU. After you have connected and logged in, you can give the device a fixed network address. (See Device Management, page 43.)

Method 1:

For computers running Windows, an IP address can be determined and/or assigned with the IP Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the Download area of our website or from the software CD. Look under Driver/SW, and the model of your device. After downloading the utility to your computer, do the following:

  1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
  2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:

Network Device IP Installer Device list: Device Name Model Name MAC Address IP Address PEB Series PE02006 00-10-74-9b-00-02 192.163.0.60 Exit About Protocol: IPv4 Network adapter: MAC: 08-06-7b-0e-c0-1c, IP: 192.163.52.102 Set IP IPv4 settings ● Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) ○ Use the following IP address: IP address: 192 168 0 . . . 60 Subnet mask: 255 255 0 . . .

  1. Select the device from the Device List.

Note: 1. If the list is empty, or your device doesn't appear, click Enumerate to refresh the Device List.

  1. If there is more than one device in the list, use the MAC address to pick the one you want. The eco PDU's MAC address is located on its bottom panel.

  2. Select either Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP), or Specify an IP address. If you chose the latter, fill the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields with the information appropriate to your network.

  3. Click Set IP.
  4. After the IP address shows up in the Device List, click Exit to end the program.

Method 2:

  1. Set your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.XXX Where XXX represents any number or numbers except 60 (192.168.0.60 is the default address of the eco PDU).
  2. Specify the device's default IP address (192.168.0.60) in your browser to access it.
  3. Assign a fixed IP address for the device (see IPv4 Configuration, page 45), that is suitable for the network segment that it resides on.
  4. After you log out, reset your computer's IP address to its original value.
  5. Once you have logged in, go to Network Settings to set up the permanent IP environment (see IPv4 Configuration, page 45).

Method 3:

NRGence eco DC allows you to determine/assign an IP address in order to configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected to it. NRGence eco DC can be obtained from the Download area of the ATEN web site.
