Frequently Asked Questions - SmartZone Panduit

What is the maximum load for the SmartZone PDU extension block?

The PDU is rated for 20A total per input phase. Do not exceed 80% of this rating for continuous operation to avoid tripping the circuit breaker.

How do I connect the PDU to my network?

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the RJ45 port to your LAN. The PDU will obtain an IP via DHCP by default, and you can access the web interface using the IP shown on the local display.

Can I monitor power consumption remotely?

Yes, the PDU supports SNMP, web GUI, and optional environmental sensors. You can view voltage, current, power, and energy usage in real time.

What type of power cord does the PDU use?

It uses a C19 to C20 power cord (included). For input, connect to a compatible C20 outlet. The output receptacles are C13 and C19.

How do I mount the PDU in my rack?

The unit is 1U high. Attach the included mounting brackets to the sides and screw into standard 19-inch racks. Ensure proper ventilation around the vents.

What should I do if the overload alarm sounds?

Immediately reduce the load by unplugging non-critical equipment. The alarm indicates the current exceeds the safe threshold. If the breaker trips, reset after resolving the overload.

Is the PDU compatible with all Panduit SmartZone software?

Yes, it integrates with Panduit SmartZone Gateway and software for centralized management. Refer to the software manual for configuration steps.

Can I daisy-chain multiple PDUs?

No, each PDU requires a separate power connection. You can network them together via Ethernet for management.

Reset Button

Push the Reset button using a non-metallic item, similar in size to a paper clip, to reset the PDU device.

! Warning: a metallic item, such as a paper clip, is not recommended as a reset tool.

The reset tool should be inserted perpendicular to the surface of the device and pressed until the button is reached and is actuated.

The reset tool should bump into the button within 1/8 of an inch of being inserted, and should be lightly depressed and held for at least 1 second. The reset tool should never be inserted more than 1/4 of an inch.

Resetting the PDU device starts the bootloader. Wait between 1 and 30 seconds for the Display Backlight to blink on and off at a rate of 2 blinks per second. The bootloader stays in this mode for at least 4 seconds (8 blinks) if no user operation is detected.

Mode Button Operation

Bootloader Startup

When the user presses and holds the Mode button, the Display Backlight switches to one blink per second, indicating the bootloader is waiting for one of the following operations.

• If the user releases the Mode button after two blinks, the backlight goes solid-on and stays in the bootloader, entering the "firmware recovery mode". See the "Firmware Recovery Mode" section (below) for more details.
• If the user releases the Mode button after four blinks, the backlight goes solid-on and attempts to boot the “backup firmware image”.
• If the user does not operate the Mode button as described above, the Display Backlight is turned off. The “firmware updatable application image” continues loading.

Firmware Recovery Mode

The Network-Enabled PDU provides a firmware recovery mode in case a firmware update is interrupted while in progress and fails to complete successfully.

Note: Do not power cycle or restart a device while a firmware update is in progress.

If a firmware update does not complete successfully, and the device fails to be operational after 30 minutes, contact Panduit Technical Support.

Application Startup

When the application is ready, a message is displayed on the LCD:

Starting up...

The display backlight blinks quickly three times and remains lit.

The LCD then displays:

Hold MODE button to reset to defaults...

The application stays in this mode for at least 5 seconds. If no button operation is detected, the application continues to normal system operation.

If the customer presses and holds the Mode button for 5 seconds, the following message displays on the LCD:

Hold MODE button more than 5 seconds to reset to defaults

If the customer continues to press and hold the Mode button, the following message displays on the LCD:

Reset to defaults is detected. Please release MODE button.

The customer should release the Mode button at this point. The following message displays on the LCD:

Device is Resetting to factory defaults.

If the customer does not operate the Mode button as described above, the application continues normal system operation.

Internal Error Notification

After system start up is complete, during normal operation of the unit, the LCD screen may blink. This typically indicates a temporary or persistent internal error condition.

If the condition is persistent, the LCD screen displays the word "STATUS:" followed by a hexadecimal code, similar to the following.

STATUS: 0x009000080

The hexadecimal code is a composition of per-outlet control, per-outlet monitoring and per-phase monitoring status. For example, if a three phase Per-outlet Monitoring or Switched unit loses a power phase, the status screen will reflect that communication to those boards has been lost.

For definitions and recommended actions on status codes, provide the displayed hexadecimal number to Panduit Technical Support.

Graphical User Interface

The Panduit Network Enabled Rack PDU provides access to configuration, power, and sensor data through a Graphical User Interface (GUI), using a standard browser. There are several ways to connect to the device's GUI, depending on your network configuration and the firmware revision of the device.

If the PDU has firmware revision 2.3.03 (or earlier), Static IP is the default. The configuration settings in this case are:

IPv4 Address:192.168.0.253

IPv4 Network:255.255.255.0

IPv4 Gateway:192.168.0.1

If the device has firmware revision 2.3.04 (or later), DHCP is the default, and one of the following scenarios will be used.

- If you have a DHCP Server available, connect to the appliance through that server, using the PDU's IP Address.

Note: The IP address for the Rack PDU is displayed on the device's LCD screen after the label IPv4

- If you do not have a DHCP server, you can run one on your PC. To connect to the device, use the IP address displayed on the LCD screen.

- If you want to use automatic IPv4 address configuration, you must activate DHCP on your PC and then connect directly to the PDU. This will give you an address on the 169.254.0.0/16 network. You can then connect directly using the IP Address displayed on the LCD screen.

Access the PDU Graphical User Interface

To access the GUI, open a web browser and enter the IP Address of the PDU. When the login page opens, you will be prompted to enter a Login and Password.

The default login and password are:

Login:admin

Password:admin

After successful login, the GUI opens to the Overview page.

There are three modules within the GUI, each providing access to a different area within the PDU. The modules are:

• Set Up
• Input Sensors
• Power

To select a module, click the appropriate label along the top of the display.

The menu items that appear on the left hand side of the screen will change depending on the module selected.

Contact Name A person to contact regarding the PDU
Config Protocol Select the configuration protocol
IP Address The IP address of the PDU
Subnet Mask The Subnet Mask for the PDU IP Address
Gateway The Gateway for the PDU IP Address

IPv4 Address Configuration

There are several kinds of IPv4 address configurations that you can choose from. Static IPv4 is the default configuration for firmware releases before firmware version 2.3.04. DHCP is the default configuration for firmware releases after firmware releases 2.3.03.

The DHCP configuration (Dynamic Addressing provided by Infrastructure)

- The DHCPv4 client allows the user to obtain IPv4 configuration information from a DHCPv4 server. The functions that the DHCPv4 client performs include:

• Basic server discovery and address assignment.
• Address renewal and rebinding.
• Address depreciation when the preferred lifetime expires.
• Address removal when the valid lifetime expires.
• Address release when the interface is closed.

Static Configuration (Manual Addressing)

- The customer must specify an IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway.

IPv6 Address Configuration

There are several kinds of IPv6 address configuration that can be chosen.

AutoConfig only (link local addressing)

• IPv6 AutoConfig addressing is always available.
• The customer does not specify an IP Address, IPv6 prefix (shown as Subnet Mask in the web UI) or Gateway.
• The link local address is always based on the MAC Address converted into an EUI-64 address.

For example, the MAC Address: 00:07:6E:04:01:28 is always always accessible at the IPv6 Link local address: FE80::0207:6EFF:FE04:0128.

Note that the first byte of the MAC address has 0x02 added to it where FF:FE is inserted into the middle of the MAC address bytes. The technical term for this address format is stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) using the modified EUI-64 format.

Static configuration (manual addressing)

• The customer must specify an IP Address, IPv6 prefix (shown as Subnet Mask in the web UI) and Gateway.
• Static IPv6 configuration works concurrently with stateless address auto-configuration.

DHCPv6 configuration (dynamic addressing provided by infrastructure)

The DHCPv6 client allows the user to obtain IPv6 configuration information from a DHCPv6 server and works concurrently with stateless address autoconfiguration. The functions performed by the DHCPv6 client include:

• Basic server discovery and address assignment
• Address renewal and rebinding
• Address depreciation when the preferred lifetime expires
• Address removal when the valid lifetime expires
• Address release when the interface is closed

The current implementation of the DHCPv6 client has certain limitations. The following are the features that are currently not supported:

• Authentication
  • RECONFIGURE Messages
  • IA_TAs (Temporary Addresses)
• Rapid Commit FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)
• DUID-LLT
• IA_PD (Identify Association for Prefix Delegation)

Accessing the appliance via a web browser using IPv6

A web browser can access IPv6 addressed devices using the full or short form IPv6 address.

For example, to access an appliance with the MAC address 00:07:6E:04:01:28, you could navigate to the AutoConfig address: http://[FE80::0207:6EFF:FE04:0128]/ or https://[FE80::0207:6EFF:FE04:0128]/. The open and close square brackets indicate an IPv6 address.

When using a PC with more than one IPv6 enabled network interface (multi-homing), IPv6 scoped URLs may be necessary to access a device. Not all web browsers fully support IPv6 scoped URLs. Therefore, this problem must be worked around by enabling IPv6 on only one interface at a time on the computer running a web browser to access the appliance.

HTTP

This page allows you to choose the access method for the web management interface.

To choose the access method, click the corresponding radio button and enter the appropriate Port number. Typically the Port does not need to be changed from its default setting (80 for HTTP or 443 for HTTPS).

HTTP or HTTPS access methods can be used. However, HTTPS is recommended for security.

When you save any changes to this page, you will see the following message:

After Saving, would you like to restart the unit?

SNMP NMS

This page provides access for Network Management Stations.

Both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 protocols are supported simultaneously. You must enter the credential information for any device that needs to communicate with the unit via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Select the SNMP version settings you wish to edit from the drop-down menu.

For ease of initial deployment and discovery, default credentials for both versions have been provided:

• The SNMPv2 default Community Strings are "public" (read-only access) and "private" (read/write access).
• The unit will respond to SNMPv3 requests using the MD5 authentication and DES privacy protocols. To use the "authUser" and "secureUser" user names, an Authentication and/or Privacy password must first be set.
• To disable a specific version of SNMP, simply remove the Community Strings (SNMPv2c) or User Names (SNMPv3) and save the configuration.

Enter the Community String for any device that must access the unit's SNMP functions.

Access permissions can be selected from the drop-down menu under NMS Access.

Access Permission Settings
Read Only Permits the NMS to use only GET commands
Read / Write	Permits the NMS to use both GET and SET commands

SNMP Receivers

The SNMP Receivers page displays information for all devices that receive SNMP traps sent from this unit.

Enter the IP address and Community String for any device that will be required to receive SNMP traps. Usually any SNMP NMS entries should also be entered here. From the dropdown menu under Receive Traps, select one of the following:

Receive Traps Settings
Disabled Receiving traps is prohibited
Enabled	Allows the specified NMS to receive the unit's standardrange of traps
Enabled (Incl. Auth Fails)	Receive traps – causes the unit to issue traps if the an unauthorized attempt to access the unit's SNMP tions.

The version of trap/notification can be selected from the dropdown menu under Trap Version.

SNMP Trap Description Text Format

SNMP Traps are detected when certain events are detected. The format of the generated text messages is explained below.

NOTE: Before the text message is sent, all leading, trailing and repeated whitespace is removed.

Sensor Trap Text View or edit trap text

Detailed information on each of these menu options can be found in the corresponding sections below.

Status

The Status page displays information from connected input sensors.

The following Status Indicators are displayed next to input channels to allow quick determination of normal, warning, and critical alarm statuses.

Status Indicators
√	All thresholds within limits
×	Upper Control Limit reached/exceeded
!	Upper Warning Limit reached/exceeded
!	Lower Warning Limit reached/exceeded
×	Lower Control Limit reached/exceeded

This page may also display the strings "O/R" and "U/R" in place of the input sensor measurement. This indicates an over-range or under-range condition.

• O/R - Value is Over Range
• U/R - Value is Under Range

Defaults

This page allows you to choose default settings for Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Analog Voltage, and Open/Close Contacts.

Clicking the arrow opens a drop-down for each Sensor type. For Temperature Sensors, the defaults will display similar to the following:

The Humidity Sensors screen displays default information as shown below.

The Analog Voltage screen displays default information as shown below.

Explanations of the editable fields in the drop-down menus for Temperature, Humidity and Analog Voltage can be found in the table below.

Defaults- Temperature, Humidity, and Analog Voltage
Scaling Factor(Analog Voltage only)	The scaling factor is a value multiplied against the measured Analog Voltage to produce the Input Sensor measurement.Example: Given a measurement of 10 Volts on the input sensor and a Scaling Factor of 100, the web UI and SNMP interface will report a value of 10 × 100 = 1000 Volts as the sensor measured value.Note: The [Upper|Lower] [Control|Warning] Limit fields apply to the post-scaled value.
Calibration Offset	Alters the actual reading of a sensor by the amount specified.Example: If a Calibration offset of 6 was used and a sensor's true reading was 36, the indicated reading used for displayand alarm purposes would be 42. This works in an identical way for both temperature and humidity sensors.
Hysteresis Value	The hysteresis default value to be applied to sensors is. The value specified is an offset from a sensor's threshold values.Example: A hysteresis value of 5 would mean that in the case of an Upper Control Limits alarm, the alarm value would have to reduce to 5 below the threshold value before another alarm is issued.
Upper Control Limit	The value at which an Upper Control alarm will be issued.
Upper Warning Limit	The value at which an Upper Warning alarm will be issued.
Lower Warning Limit	The value at which a Lower Warning alarm will be issued.
Lower Control Limit	The value at which a Lower Control alarm will be issued.

The Open/Close Contacts screen displays the following default information.

Defaults- Open/Close Contacts
Normal State	Normal state specifies the condition in which a contact is considered to be ‘Normal’, ‘Non-alarmed’ state. Devices such as smoke alarms and air conditioning units often have normally open contacts. In order to receive alarm indications from these types of units, setting normally open would cause alarms to be issued when the monitored contact closes. Setting normally closed, in the case of a rack cabinet door, would cause an alarm condition when the door was opened.
Trap Alarm Level	Rather than using [Upper|Lower] [Control|Warning] Limit settings, the Open/Close Contact sensors provide a Trap Alarm Level drop down menu with the following options:DisabledCriticalWarningInformationWhen the Trigger Type state occurs, if the Trap Alarm Level is not Disabled, a trap with the given Trap Alarm Level string content is generated.
Trigger Types	Trigger type defaults for Open/Close sensors are specified here. The three available options for trigger types are:LevelLevel triggering is the default mode. When an input physically transitions from a Normal to Non-Normal state an alarm will be triggered. However the alarm will only persist while the input remains in a Non-Normal state. When the input returns to a normal state the alarm will be cleared.Normal to Non-Normal (Positive Edge)This type of triggering may be used in situations where a momentary type input (e.g. shock sensor, PIR etc.), is used. Since these types of inputs are momentary any alarm condition which occurs, no matter how short, will persist until manually cleared. Positive Edge triggering is used whenan alarm is required to persist after an input changes from the Normal state to the Non-Normal state.Non-Normal to Normal (Negative Edge)This type of triggering may be used in situations where a momentary type input (e.g. shock sensor, PIR etc.), is used.Since these types of inputs are momentary any alarm condition which occurs, no matter how short, will persist until manually cleared. Negative Edge triggering is used when an alarm is required to persist after an input changes from the Non-Normal state to the Normal state.
Repeat Timer	Causes alarm traps to be reissued after a specified amount of time if the alarm condition is still present. Setting the timer to zero (0) disables repeat traps.

The drop-down menus can be closed by clicking on the corresponding arrows again.
