Viewing the Outlet Power/Current History

The graph can be displayed based on different time intervals such as days, weeks, or months. Reset is only available when the outlet is enabled and never power off is disabled.

Editing the Outlet Details

  • Name: Specify the outlet name.

  • Enabled: If you enabled the outlets, this means enabling full control of the outlets. Disabling the outlet means this outlet will be shut down and is not able to provide power to the connected device.

  • Never Power Off: The Outlet is always providing power. This function prevents users from accidentally powering off the outlet, which could cause the connected device to shut down suddenly. When enabled, the following happens:

    • The ability to power the outlet on or off via a time schedule is disabled.

    • The ability to power off the outlet from the LCD on the PDU is disabled.

    • The scheduled outlet reset function is disabled.

    • Rebooting the outlet will not stop it from providing power.

    • Pressing the power button on the PDU will not stop it from providing power.

    • Resetting the outlet from the LCD on the PDU will not stop it from providing power.

    • The autoreboot function will not work.

    • The hardware reset button is the sole method to disable the "never power off" function and deactivate the outlet. To perform a factory reset, press the button for 15 seconds.

  • Current: The measured electric current flowing through the device that is connected to the outlet. A current of zero amps means that there is no device connected to the outlet.

  • Consumed Power: Power consumption of the device that is connected to the outlet.

  • Power On Delay: Delays the outlet enabled time after the outlet has been powered on.

  • Power Off Delay: Delays the outlet disabled time after the outlet has been powered off.

Reset outlets: This will temporarily power off and power on the enabled outlet(s) that never power off is disabled.
