3.1.5 Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

Upgradable monitored devices, built with the IMD-02E include two Ethernet ports which work together an internal Ethernet bridge. One of these ports can be used to connect the IMD to an existing both ports can be used at the same time to connect one IMD to another in a daisy-chain cor

When both network interfaces are connected, the IMD implements a network bridging protocol called Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). RSTP is an IEEE standard that is implemented by all manual bridges. Using RSTP, bridges in the network exchange information to find redundant paths, or loop

When a loop is detected, the bridges in the network work together to temporarily disable the re-paths. This allows the network to avoid broadcast storms caused by the loops. In addition, RSTP checks for changes in the network topology. When a connection is lost, RSTP allows the bridges switch to a redundant path.

NOTE: RSTP protocol imposes a limit of 40 links between bridges, including IMDs.

3.2 Network Setup

b. Enter the desired Threshold Value (any number between -999.0 through 999.0).
c. Enter the desired Clear Delay time in seconds. Any value other than 0 means once event is tripped, the measurement must return to normal for this many seconds before the event will clear and reset. Clear Delay can be up to 14400 seconds (4 hours).
d. Enter the desired Trip Delay time in seconds. Any value other than 0 means that measurement must exceed the threshold for this many seconds before the Event will tripped. Trip Delay can be up to 14400 seconds (4 hours).
e. Latching Mode: If enabled, this event and its associated actions remain active until the event is acknowledged, even if the measurement subsequently returns to normal.
f. To specify where the alert notifications are sent when this alarm or warning event click the Add icon to create a new action.
g. Select the desired options from the drop-down menu:

- Target is the email address or SNMP manager to which notifications should be sent when the event is tripped. For more information on configuring a target email address see Email on page 38.

NOTE: Target Delays and Repeats are shared across all alarms. If multiple delay or repeat va needed for specific targets, each one must be added to the target list and then the appropriate box checked on each alarm.

• Delay determines how long this Event must remain tripped for before this Action's first notification is sent. This is different from the Trip Delay above. Trip Delay determines how long the threshold value has to be exceeded before the Event itself tripped. This delay determines how long the Event must remain tripped before this Action occurs. Delay can be up to 14400 seconds (4 hours). A Delay of 0 will see notification immediately.

• Repeat determines whether multiple notifications will be sent for this Event Action. Repeat notifications are sent at the specified intervals until the Event is acknowledged, or until the Event is cleared and re-set. The Repeat interval can be 14400 seconds (4 hours). A Repeat of 0 disables this feature, and only one notification be sent.

• Click Save to save this notification action.

Appendix A: Technical Support

A.1 Resetting rPDU

If the rPDU loses communication, the processor may be manually rebooted without affecting power outlets. Pressing the reboot button on the face of the IMD will cause the processor to reboot. The interface will remain off-line during boot up. For more information, see Interchangeable Monitoring Device on page 19.

A.2 Service and maintenance

No service or maintenance is required. Do not attempt to open the rPDU or you may void the There are no serviceable parts inside the rPDU other than the field replaceable Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD). It is recommended that power be removed from the unit before installing removing any equipment.

The Interchangeable Monitoring Device is designed to be field replaceable by qualified service person only. The IMD is designed to be replaced while the rPDU is still connected to AC Mains power the Geist™ PDU IMD Modules Replacement Guide for more information.

A.4 Using Microsoft Exchange as an SMTP server

If your facility uses a Microsoft Exchange email server, it can be used by the IMD rPDU to se Warning notification emails if desired. However, the Exchange server may need to be configured to SMTP connections from the unit first, as later version of Exchange often have SMTP services or thentication disabled by default. If you encounter difficulties in getting your IMD rPDU to send en through your Exchange server, the following notes may be helpful in resolving the problem.

NOTE: These suggestions only apply if you are using your own, physical Exchange server. Mic hosted Office365 service is not compatible with the IMD rPDU using firmware versions prior to as Office365 requires a StartTLS connection. Firmware versions 3.0.0 and beyond have support StartTLS and are compatible with Office365.

First, since the IMD rPDU cannot use IMAP or Microsoft's proprietary MAPI/RPC Exchange/Outlook I cols to send messages, you will need to enable SMTP by setting up an SMTP Send Connector Exchange server. More information on setting up an SMTP Send Connector in Exchange can be f this Microsoft TechNet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997285.aspx

Next: Your Exchange server may also need to be configured to allow messages to be relayed from monitoring unit. Typically, this will involve turning on the Reroute incoming SMTP mail option in the Exchange server's Routing properties, then adding the IMD rPDU's IP address as a domain which permitted to relay mail through the Exchange server. More information about enabling and configuring SMTP relaying in Exchange can be found at this Microsoft TechNet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd277329.aspx

The SMTP AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN authentication methods for logging in to the server a no longer enabled by default in Exchange; only Microsoft's proprietary NTLM authentication method enabled.

To re-enable the AUTH LOGIN method:

1. In the Exchange console select Server Configuration - Hub Transport.
2. Right-click the client server, and select Properties.
3. Select the Authentication Tab and click the Basic Authentication checkbox.
4. Deselect the Offer Basic only after TLS checkbox.
5. Apply or Save and click Exit.

NOTE: You may need to restart the Exchange service after making these changes.

Finally, once you have enabled SMTP, relaying, and the AUTH LOGIN Basic Authentication method, may also need to create a user account specifically for the IMD rPDU to log into. If you have ated an account prior to enabling the SMTP Send Connector, or you are trying to use an already account created for another user, and the IMD rPDU still cannot seem to connect to the Exchar the account probably did not properly inherit the new permissions when you enabled them as abt tends to happen more often on Exchange servers that have been upgraded since the account(s) trying to use were first created, but can sometimes happen with accounts when new connectors is plug-ins are added regardless of the Exchange version. Delete the user account, then create a for the monitoring unit to use, and the new account should inherit the SMTP authentication and relaying permissions correctly.

If none of the above suggestions succeed in allowing your IMD rPDU to send mail through your server, then you may need to contact Microsoft's technical support for further assistance in config your Exchange server to allow SMTP emails to be sent from a 3rd-party, non-Windows device thr your network.

Appendix B: Visible Light Communication (VLC)

The VLC feature on Upgradeable PDUs allows the user to unobtrusively upload product information database management system via the embedded LED display. This product feature provides new opportunities to monitor and enable larger amounts of rPDU power data to be obtained via the display, and all without physically connecting to the rPDU.

Using a smart device, such as a smart phone or tablet with the Vertiv Mobile app installed, it captures data from the LED display when running in VLC mode, which can be enabled/disabled and using the display buttons on the device, or using the GUI on monitored units.

By default, the Upgradeable LED display will provide the Current (Amps) per input and circuit/break enabling the VLC feature, the LED Display will scroll through a set of alpha-numeric characters. Use the Vertiv Mobile app the user can scan the LED display and retrieve additional power metrics to include Volts, Amps, Watts, Volt-Amps and Kilowatt Hours. Before VLC, the power data was only on network connected PDUs by viewing the GUI, or using external software to collect and display. The VLC feature provides this data on local metered only devices, as well as on monitored units, the need to connect them to the network.

WARNING! This feature, when enabled, causes the unit to emit flashing lights, text, or n sets at frequencies that can induce adverse reactions. Persons susceptible to adverse reactions as a result of such emissions or persons who have been diagnosed with epilept should not utilize or enable this feature.

To enable VLC:

Press the center button three times in under two seconds.

NOTE: With the release of firmware version 3.3.0, Vertiv has added support for the VLC feature standard Metered and Monitored Upgradeable products, as well as a significant majority of its engineered-to-order range. Certain custom models of Upgradeable PDUs may not have VLC support within the Vertiv Mobile application. If your custom product is not supported by the Vertiv M it will be noted in the product specification sheet. Please contact your sales representative if like assistance with this. The latest firmware updates can be found at VertivCo.com/Firmware-Su Vertiv Mobile app is available via the App Store for iOS devices.
