Switched Rack PDU
35
System requirements for outlet groups
To set up and use synchronized outlet control groups:
• You need a 10/100Base-T TCP/IP network, with an Ethernet hub or
switch that has a power source not shared by the computers or other
devices being synchronized.
• If outlets groups are to be synchronized across multiple Switched Rack
PDUs, those Switched Rack PDUs must meet the following
requirements:
– They must be on the same subnet.
– They must use firmware that has the same version number, which
must be 2.6.1 or higher for both the APC Operating System (AOS)
module and the Application module. As later firmware revisions
become available, be sure to upgrade each Switched Rack PDU.
• You need a computer that can initiate synchronized control operations
through the Web interface or control console of the Switched Rack
PDUs or through SNMP.
• You must ensure that Multicast network traffic is allowed for the
selected Multicast IP address by each switch that connects the
Switched Rack PDUs.
