3. Select and enter the appropriate thresholds in amps and click Save.
The Reset threshold is the number of watts the reading needs to fall below
the threshold setting for the condition to be cleared.
For example, the current critical threshold for the input phase is set to 19
watts (W). The current draw rises to 20W, triggering a Current Critical alert.
The current then continues to fluctuate between 18.1W and 20W. With the
reset threshold set to 1W, the PDU continues to indicate that the current on
the input phase is above critical. Without a reset threshold (that is, the reset
threshold is set to zero), the PDU would de-assert the condition each time the
current dropped to 18.9W and re-assert the condition each time the current
reached 19W or higher. With the fluctuating current, this could result in
repeating event notifications, such as SNMP traps, SMTP alerts or Syslog
notifications.
Energy Threshold
The PANDUIT PDU will send alert notifications when an energy threshold kilowattage
crosses above or below the settings you specify in the Energy Threshold configuration:
3. Select and enter the appropriate thresholds in kilowatts and click Save.
3. Select and enter the appropriate thresholds in amps and click Save.
3. Select and enter the appropriate thresholds in voltage and click Save.
For example, the current critical threshold for the input phase is set to 19
voltage (V). The current draw rises to 20V, triggering a Current Critical alert.
The current then continues to fluctuate between 18.1V and 20V. With the
reset threshold set to 1V, the PDU continues to indicate that the current on
the input phase is above critical. Without a reset threshold (that is, the reset
threshold is set to zero), the PDU would de-assert the condition each time the
current dropped to 18.9V, and re-assert the condition each time the current
reached 19A or higher. With the fluctuating current, this could result in
repeating event notifications, such as SNMP traps, SMTP alerts or Syslog
notifications.
3. Select and enter the appropriate thresholds in amps and click Save.
The Reset threshold is the number of amps the reading needs to fall below
the threshold setting for the condition to be cleared.
For example, the current critical threshold for the input phase is set to 19
amps (A). The current draw rises to 20A, triggering a Current Critical alert.
The current then continues to fluctuate between 18.1A and 20A. With the
reset threshold set to 1A, the PDU continues to indicate that the current on
the input phase is above critical. Without a reset threshold (that is, the reset
threshold is set to zero), the PDU would de-assert the condition each time the
current dropped to 18.9A and re-assert the condition each time the current
reached 19A or higher. With the fluctuating current, this could result in
repeating event notifications, such as SNMP traps, SMTP alerts or Syslog
notifications.
3. Change the value for the number of milli-amps to set the threshold.
Outlet Alarm Threshold
The PANDUIT PDU will send alert notifications when an outlet amperage crosses above
or below the settings you specify in the Outlet Alarms configuration:
3. Select and enter the appropriate thresholds in amps and then click Save.
The Reset threshold is the number of amps the reading needs to fall below
the threshold setting for the condition to be cleared.
For example, the current critical threshold for the input phase is set to 19
watts (W). The current draw rises to 20W, triggering a Current Critical alert.
The current then continues to fluctuate between 18.1W and 20W. With the
reset threshold set to 1A, the PDU continues to indicate that the current on
the input phase is above critical. Without a reset threshold (that is, the reset
threshold is set to zero), the PDU would de-assert the condition each time the
current dropped to 18.9W and re-assert the condition each time the current
reached 19W or higher. With the fluctuating current, this could result in
repeating event notifications, such as SNMP traps, SMTP alerts or Syslog
notifications.
Email Setup
The Panduit PDU can be configured to send Emails to specific users when an event
occurs. To do this, the information about the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
server needs to be configured.
1. From the top ribbon of the dashboard, go to the gear settings and select Email
Setup.
2. Select the pencil icon next to SMTP Account Settings and begin filling out the
Edit screen.
• Set the Email Server Address. This is the IP address of the SMTP that is
going to accept the messages.
• Set the Sender Address. This is the email address that the email is sent
from. You could use a unique email address on each PDU or the same
email address across all PDUs.
• Set Number of Sending Retries. This will be the number of times the
PDU will attempt to resend a message if the message fails. The default
setting is 3.
• Set Time Interval Between Sending Retires (In Minutes). This is the
time, in minutes, the PDU will wait before retrying to send a failed
message. The default setting is 6 minutes.
Event Notifications
The SmartZone G5 iPDU can be configured to provide event notifications.
Note: Not every Event Notification applies or is supported by every PDU type even
though the toggle switch in the Web GUI may seem like the feature is supported. In that
instance the user is advised to ignore that toggle switch.
Below is a table of PDU types and the Event Notifications that particular PDU type
supports.

Data Log
The period visible in the data log at any one time depends on the time between data log
entries. The time range of each record can be configured from 1 to 1440 minutes. (As
an example, if a data log is in an interval of 10 minutes, the entire data log contains
2000 records with up to 13.89 days of data.) Once the data log reaches the maximum of
2000 records, the oldest entries ae overwritten by the newer entries.
2. Select the Actions drop-down menu and choose Data Log Configuration.
3. Enable must be selected and enter an interval number in the Log Interval field.
(Valid range is from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default time is 10 minutes.)
4. Select Save.
Logging Out
Users should logout after each session to prevent unauthorized changes to the system.
1. Click the user name icon in the top right corner of the screen (see Introduction
to the Web Menu).
2. Click Log Out in the drop-down menu.
Access Types
There are two levels of access privileges:
• Administrator Privileges
• Read Only
The PDU comes with a standard Administrator Privileges profile and a standard Read
Only profile. The “Admin Role” is typically the system administrator and has the
Administrator Privileges with full operating permissions. By default, the User Role is a
Read Only profile. All other users must be added by a user with administrator
privileges. Users are defined by their unique login credentials and by their user role. The
level of access privilege determines what the user will see and what actions the user
can perform. The level of access privilege determines which menu items the user can
access, or which fields display on individual setting and configuration dialogs. Before
setting up users, determine the Roles that will be required. Each user must be given
a Role. These Roles define the permissions granted to the user.
User Accounts
• Password (required)
Once LDAP is configured, the PDU must understand for which group authentication
occurs. A role must be created on the PDU to reference a group within the Active
Directory (AD).
1. Within the Active Directory, create a group for the users that you wish to be PDU
administrators. i.e. admins
Note: There are no limits to the amounts of admins that the PDU imposes.
However, there may be limits by the LDAP server.
2. Within the PANDUIT PDU Web Interface, go to User Settings (under admin
menu) > Roles. Enter the Role Name that was created in AD. i.e. admins
3. Enable role privileges as needed (pictured below).
• If a box pops up with all green SUCCEEDED (no X’s), the LDAP is
successfully configured.
• IP Address: the IP address of the host for this SNMP V1/V2 manager. Only
requests from this address will be acted upon.
Note: An IP address configured to 0.0.0.0 will act as a wildcard and all requests
will be acted upon.
3. In the SNMP V3 panel, select the SNMP V3 manager to configure. Select the
pencil icon in the last column.

This action will not disrupt operations (or outlet states) and can be completed remotely
via Web GUI, SNMP or CLI or physically by pressing and holding the reset button on
the primary controller for 10 seconds (but not more than 15 seconds).
Daisy-Chain Setup
1. After the initial PDU is configured (parent), connect an Ethernet cord from the
PDU Out port on the configured PDU to the PDU In/Serial port on the second
PDU in the daisy chain line.
2. Repeat step 2, connecting PDUs from the PDU Out port to the PDU In/Serial
port for up to 4 PDUs.
Note: The total length of the Ethernet cords connecting the PDUs must be less
than 15m (49 ft.).
3. Go to the Web interface (or management software) to manage and control the
PDUs in the daisy chain.
• Using RNA, the main and expansion unit maintain two separate private networks
that do not overlap.
• RNA works using a redundant power delivery design (two rack PDUs for each IT
rack).
• Each PDU is separately connected to the expansion and main unit’s private
communications network.
• The two PDUs relate to a data communications bus to allow PDUs to share user-
defined information.
Each PDU acts like a main PDU to report PDU data to both networks.
RNA Setup
To set up RNA mode on two PDUs, the user must (1) configure the PDUs for RNA
Mode (using CLI) and then (2) connect the LAN Network cords and Ethernet cords
between PDUs.
1. Log in to the CLI and enter the command ‘dev daisy rna.’
2. The following message will appear:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Landlord LAN Network to the Ethernet port
of the first PDU. This will have limited access/permissions.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Tenant LAN Network to the Ethernet port of
the second PDU. This will have full access to both PDUs.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the PDU In/Serial port on first PDU to the PDU
Out port on the second PDU.
4. Connect another Ethernet cable from the PDU Out port on the first PDU to the
PDU In/Serial port on the second PDU.
5. In RNA mode, the default account username is ‘landlord’ and password is
‘12345678’. This account is configured for proper access and control in RNA
mode.
6. To enable this account, login to the CLI with admin credentials.
7. Enter the command ‘dev daisy rna init’.
8. The following message will appear to confirm the landlord account is enabled:
SUCCESS.
9. RNA is now configured and enabled.
Power Share
Power Share is designed to allow for continual sensor monitoring and electronic rack
access if one of the 2 power feeds is lost. This feature is available for vertical (0U)
PDUs only. However, due to limited available power from the Panduit iPDU Controller,
power share was designed and tested under the following conditions:
Care must be taken to not overload the system with accessories as this may cause
instability or power share to become unavailable. Additionally, power share is only
supported by Firmware version 3.x or higher on PDUs with a serial number:
For complete details on the Serial number please use the Following Guide:
The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.
The iPDU controller has a maximum output power capacity of 800mA @ 5V = 4 watts.
Based on this, DO NOT deploy the Automatic Light Bar (PN: ACD01) when deploying
solutions leveraging Power Share.
Note: For security, verify that the handle is seated prior to engaging locking
mechanism. If handle locks prior to handle being properly seated, unlock handle, seat
properly, then lock again. Only users with admin privileges are allowed to make
configuration level changes to the PDU (including Rack Access Security).
Note: Specialized sensors were developed for attaching directly to the SmartZone
Security Handle optimizing cable routing.
Use the below table to help count total sensors being deployed.
Note: The Hot Aisle or Cold Aisle is selected directly on the electronic handle through a
DIP Switch. This is not a configuration item in the Web Interface.
3. The Actions Menu on the right side of the page will allow the user to Add Card,
Rack Access Settings, Handle Settings, Keypad Settings, Remote Control,
Beacon Settings, and Status LED Settings.
Note: A maximum of 200 cards can be programmed per cabinet. When a user is

Security
This product contains software that stores user entered data. All data entered by the
user is stored in non-volatile storage on the system running the software.
Non-volatile Storage
• The G5 iNC Controller uses non-volatile storage on the G5 PDU to store all
configuration information.
Authentication Data
• Usernames are stored in non-volatile memory and are available to ‘administrator’
role users, for the purpose of managing access to the system.
• Passwords used for managing the software are stored in non-volatile storage.
• SNMP v1/v2c community strings are stored in non-volatile storage.
• SNMP v3 usernames and passwords are stored in non-volatile storage.
Other Features
• The product includes a real-time clock and a capacitor that maintains time for a
short amount of time when no power is applied. When combined with NTP,
accurate timestamps on logs are provided.

This example demonstrates how to configure freeradius with users that can login as the
admin User-Role. It assumes a clean installation of freeradius on Ubuntu or and
equivalent installation.
1. Install freeradius or start with a pre-existing installation.
2. Create authorized client configuration statements in
/etc/freeradius/3.0/clients.conf that are configured for your security
requirements.
3. Create a dictionary at /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.Panduit containing:
# -*- text -*-
VENDOR Panduit 19536
BEGIN-VENDOR Panduit
ATTRIBUTE User-Role 1 integer
VALUE User-Role User 1
VALUE User-Role Admin 2
END-VENDOR Panduit
4. Load dictionary.Panduit by appending the following line to
/etc/freeradius/3.0/dictionary:
$INCLUDE /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.Panduit
8. Verify the server is able to perform authentication and returns the configured
User-Role. Note: You may need to change this example based on any client
restrictions that are enforced.
Usage: radtest [OPTS] user passwd radius-server[:port] nas-port-number secret
