1. For Priority, select the priority to assign to the test message.

Syslog message format — for example, APC: Test message.
3. Click Apply to have the Rack PDU send a Syslog message that uses
the defined Priority and Test Message settings.
Syslog message format. A Syslog message has three parts:
• The priority (PRI) part identifies the Syslog priority assigned to the
message’s event and the facility code assigned to messages sent by
the Rack PDU.
• The header includes a time stamp and the IP address of the Rack
PDU.
• The message (MSG) part has two fields:
– A TAG field, which is followed by a colon and a space, identifies the
event type (System, or Device, for example).
– A CONTENT field provides the event text, followed by a space and
the event code.
Web/SSL (Web/SSL/TLS in the control console)
Use the Web/SSL menu to perform the following tasks.
• Enable or disable the two protocols that provide access to the Web
interface of the Switched Rack PDU:
– Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) provides access by user name
and password, but does not encrypt user names, passwords, and
data during transmission.
– Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS).
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypts user names, passwords, and
data during transmission and provides authentication of the
Switched Rack PDU by means of digital certificates.
