Overview

ATEN NRGence PE6108AV / PE6208AV / PE8208AV eco PDUs are intelligent PDUs that contain 8 AC outlets with a detachable front panel for convenient rack mounting and are available in various IEC or NEMA socket configurations.

They provide secure, centralized, intelligent, power management (power on, off, cycle) for data center IT equipment (servers, storage systems, KVM switches, network devices, serial data devices, etc.), as well as the ability to monitor the center's health environment via sensors*. The basic characteristics of each model are shown in the table on page 3.

NRGence eco PDUs offer remote power control combined with real-time power measurement - allowing you to control and monitor the power status of devices attached to the PDUs, either at the PDU and outlet level (PE8208AV) or Bank level (PE6208AV), from practically any location via a TCP/IP connection.

The power status of each outlet can be set individually, allowing users to switch each device On/Off. The eco PDU also offers comprehensive power analysis reports when used with the eco DC (eco PDU manager web GUI) which can separate departments and locations, providing precise measurements of current, voltage, power and watt-hour in a real-time display.

Installation and operation is fast and easy: plugging cables into their appropriate ports and user-friendly browser-based configuration and management is all that is entailed. Since the eco PDU firmware is upgradeable over the Net, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements simply by downloading updates from our website as they become available.

NRGence eco PDU supports any 3rd party v3 SNMP manager software and NRGence eco DC (eco PDU manager 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.

This series of ATEN eco PDUs have threshold alerts that can sound an alarm and send SNMP trap or e-mail alerts when a threshold is exceeded. This feature

provides a faster response time to recover servers and other devices when the outlets surpass thresholds set by you.

The PE6108AV / PE6208AV / PE8208AV is an excellent fit for any ATEN VanCryst Pro A/V or VK Control System installation. Using our cross platform solutions not only provide you with the best performance but also utilize extra features which bring you more confidence and more power to control.

With its advanced security features and ease of operation, the eco PDU is the most convenient, most reliable, and most cost effective way to remotely manage power access for multiple computer installations and allocate power resources in the most efficient way possible.

Note: Sensors are optional accessories. A sensor-enabled installation is required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate data. See Optional Accessories, page 5, for further information.

Optional Accessories

Sensors

Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the eco PDU unit without sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of an instrumented data center with the use of the eco PDU, you would need to use eco DC, a management web GUI, and install 4 sensors for each of the racks to generate a complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate data. 8-port models have 2 sensor ports. In this case, Sensor 1 needs to be installed at the intake of the rack and sensor 2 needs to be placed at the exhaust of IT equipment of the rack. A sensor-enabled installation is required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate data. Available sensors are show in the table, below:

Sensor Part Number
Temperature EA1140
Temperature / Humidity EA1240
Differential Pressure / Temperature EA1340

Sensor Management

Sensors can be managed via the eco PDU's built-in graphical user interface (GUI) or with NRGence eco DC that can be downloaded from the ATEN website. The download link can be found on the software CD provided with the eco PDU package.

Cable Holders

Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in place on the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have been specifically designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of cable securing device could be highly dangerous.

Service Ports

As a security measure, if a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that the firewall will allow. If a port other than the default is used, users must specify the port number as part of the IP address when they log in. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, the eco PDU will not be found.

Select whether to allow only secure browser logins, as show below:

Service Ports

Only HTTPS HTTP/HTTPS

HTTP: 80

HTTPS: 443

An explanation of the fields is given in the table below:

Field Explanation

HTTP The port number for a browser login. The default is 80.

HTTPS The port number for a secure browser login. The default is 443.

Note: 1. Valid entries for all of the Service Ports are from 1–65535.

1. The service ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different value for each one.

2. If there is no firewall (on an Intranet, for example), it doesn't matter what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect.

IPv4 Configuration

The PDU's IPv4 IP and DNS addresses (the traditional method of specifying IP addresses) can either be assigned dynamically (DHCP), or a fixed IP address can be specified.

IPv4 Configuration

Obtain IP address automatically [DHCP]

Set IP address manually [Fixed IP]

IP Address:

Subnet Mask:

Default Gateway:

Obtain DNS server address automatically

Set DNS server address manually

Login String / IP Filter / Mac Filter

Login String/IP Filter/MAC Filter

■ 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:

& ^ { } ' ' < > | " % " : / ? # \ [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, click to put a check mark in the IP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox.

• If the include button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are allowed access; all other addresses are denied access.
• If the exclude button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are denied access; 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:

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

2. 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).

3. After filling in the address, click OK.

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

To add a MAC filter, do the following:

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

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 filter and a 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.

To allow authentication and authorization for the eco PDU device through a RADIUS server, do the following:

1. Check Enable.

2. Fill in the IP addresses and service port numbers for the Preferred and Alternate RADIUS servers. The default port number for the Preferred server is 1812; the default port number for the Alternate server is 1645.

3. On the RADIUS server, set the entry for each user as follows:

su/administrator or su/user

Where xxxx represents the Username given to the user when the account was created on the eco PDU device. The user's access rights are the ones assigned for the eco PDU device, as well. (See User Information, 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.

Private Certificate

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a self-signed certificate; and 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 the greatest 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.

(Continues on next page.)

Importing the Private Certificate

To import the private certificate, do the following:

1. Click Browse to the right of Private Key; browse to where your private encryption key file is located; and select it.
2. Click Browse to the right of Certificate; browse to where your certificate file is located; and select it.
3. Click Upload to complete the procedure.

Note: 1. Clicking Restore Default returns the device to using the default ATEN certificate.
2. 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 its fixed network address. (See Notification Settings, page 46.)

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 web site 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:

(Continues on next page.)

(Continued from previous page.)

1. Select the device in 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, and you will be able to connect.
3. Assign a fixed IP address for the device (see IPv4 Configuration, page 49), 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 49).

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.
