`Operating MasterSwitch VM
`
`To operate MasterSwitch VM using either the Web or the Control Console
`interface, you must complete a few preliminary steps to gain access; and, it
`is also helpful to have a basic understanding of the settings available. This
`section reviews the steps you need to perform to set up remote and local
`access to MasterSwitch VM and discusses the available outlet settings in
`depth.
`
`Overview

`
`Current sensing
`
`Overload Outlet
`Restrictions
`
`Each MasterSwitch VM unit is equipped with a current sensor that
`measures the total current being used by devices connected to the unit.
`The current measurement is displayed on the first screen that appears
`when you log on and is used to generate alarms that you define. The
`values displayed are:
`(cid:127)
`The aggregate current
`(cid:127)
`A percentage of the branch circuit rating, which is derived using
`the following formula:
`
`In the Unit Configuration section of the MasterSwitch VM menu, you can
`define Overload Outlet Restrictions, conditions that generate an Overload
`Audible Alarm, and the Low Current Threshold. (See “
`Unit Configuration
`”
`on page 23 for a detailed description of the items listed in the menu.)
`,JAN?AA@JDA=NEKLJ=CA=@?KHHAJH=JECIEIJA@
`JDA=>AJDA>=?BJDAKEJ
`
`Outlet Restrictions keep users from turning on outlets when the current
`sensor detects an overload condition. The following restrictions can be set
`for each unit:
`(cid:127)
`Outlets turn on no matter what the overload conditions are
`(None).
`Outlets do not turn on when the Overload Warning Threshold
`has been exceeded.
`Outlets do not turn on when the full load percentage exceeds
`100%.
`
`(cid:127)
`
`(cid:127)
`
`Overload Audible
`Alarm
`
`You can customize the Overload Audible Alarm so that it never sounds, it
`sounds when the load exceeds 100%, or it sounds when the load exceeds
`its Overload Warning Threshold. The value for the Overload Warning
`Threshold can be set at a value that you determine based on the needs of
`your system. If the Overload Audible Alarm is set to On Overload Warning
`and the load exceeds the Overload Warning Threshold, the Overload
`Warning
` will flash green and the alarm will sound.
`LED
`
`Low Current
`Threshold
`
`In addition to measuring for overload conditions, the current sensor also
`measures for low-current conditions. If current drops below the Low
`Current Threshold that you have defined, the unit generates an
` trap
`SNMP
`to alert the host computer.
`Note
`:
`This item is only available using the SNMP interface.

`Managing MasterSwitch VM
`
`Using a Web browser or Telnet, you can remotely manage MasterSwitch
` and its outlet properties. Using a serial interface, you can locally
`VM
`manage MasterSwitch
` and its outlet properties. You can also configure
`VM
`password-protected accounts (Administrator, Device Manager, and Outlet
`User) to ensure restricted access to system, device, and outlet attributes
`and services. If you use a Web browser, you will be configuring the unit
`and its outlets on the Web interface; if you use Telnet or a serial interface,
`you will be configuring the unit and its outlets on the Control Console
`interface.

`After you have configured MasterSwitch
`VM
`settings, you can remotely manage MasterSwitch
` through its Web and
`VM
`Control Console interfaces. The following sections describe each interface
`and provide instruction on how to access and log on to the MasterSwitch
` unit using each interface.
`VM
`
`’s Web interface, you will need one of the
`To access MasterSwitch
`VM
`following supported Web browsers:
`(cid:127)
`Internet Explorer
` or later
`3.0.2
`(cid:127)
`Netscape
` or later
`3.0
`Only one user at a time may access MasterSwitch
`. Serial interface users
`VM
`(using a terminal emulator) have precedence over Telnet users and Telnet
`users have precedence over Web users.
`Note:
`
`Some Web interface features (data verification, APC Interactive
`Assistant, and
` authentication) require that you enable
`MD5
`JavaScript and/or Java. In order for MD5 to function properly you
`must also have cookies enabled on your Web browser.
`
`Web interface:
`accessing
`
`Use a supported Web browser to access the Web connection to the
`MasterSwitch
` unit. In the
`
` Location field, type http:// followed
`VM
`URL
`by the MasterSwitch
` unit’s
` address. See the example below:
`VM
`IP
`
`http://170.241.17.51
`You can also enter the
` name (this requires a
`DNS

`A serial interface, for local management.

`Overview
`
`Control actions
`
`The Outlets menu provides the number, name, state, and control action
`for each outlet. From this menu, you can control all outlets assigned to
`your account at once or individually, or you can set up synchronized sets
`for outlets. All account types have access to this menu.
`
`Outlet Control Actions may be performed on individual outlets (by
`Individual Outlet Control) or on all accessible outlets as a group (by
`Master Outlet Control). A Control Action can only be applied to an outlet
`that is not in the process of executing a command. If there is a command
`pending, the State will be displayed orange. Table 7 defines the available
`Outlet Control Actions.

`
`Immediately powers off all outlets. Each outlet will wait the
`longest Reboot Duration time plus its Power On Delay. When
`this delay expires, the outlet will be turned on.
`Note:
`The longest Reboot Duration is the longest (seconds)
`Reboot Duration in the set of outlets.
`

`Once the outlet’s Reboot Duration expires, the outlet is turned

`Outlet State is displayed in orange with an asterisk (*)

`
`Synchronization set
`configuration
`
`Outlets that are members of a synchronization set will all execute the
`same control action simultaneously (within 16 milliseconds). One
`application for this action is a configuration where multiple redundant
`power cords are being used in a daisy-chain configuration. This feature
`would permit synchronized switching across units.
`
`When you configure a synchronization set you can assign an outlet to only
`one set and all the outlets in a given set take on the characteristics of the
`lowest numbered outlet. If you make changes to any of the outlets in a
`given set, all of the outlets will take on the new characteristics. Table 8 lists
`and defines the items available for synchronization set configuration.
`

`In the Outlets menu—the main view or first screen that appears
`after you log on—you can identify what synchronization set an out-
`let belongs to by looking at the number in brackets. For example:
`
`(unit #: outlet # [synchronization set #])
