Expert - Applications - PMD Configuration
When an administrator selects Expert - Applications - PMD Configuration, the following three
tabs appear:
• General
• Outlet Groups
• Users Management
An administrator can use these tabs to configure the username and password for IPDUs, create
groups and authorize users and groups to access specific outlets.
To find the IPDU ID [Expert]:
1. Select Expert - Access - IPDU Power Management - View IPDUs Info.
2. Note the string in the ID field.
Applications - PMD Configuration- General
An administrator can select Expert - Applications - PMD Configuration - General to configure
a username and password for each supported IPDU type. The fields are labeled: Cyclades (for
Avocent PM PDUs and Cyclades PM IPDUs), SPC (for Avocent SPC power devices) and Server
Tech (for supported Server Technology IPDUs). The username and password are used to
authenticate communication between the console server and the IPDU. If the IPDU username
and password are changed in the IPDU firmware, the username and password must be changed
in this screen so the console server can use the correct username and password to communicate
with the IPDU.
Applications - PMD Configuration- Outlet Groups
An administrator can select Expert - Applications - PMD Configuration - Outlet Groups to
configure outlet groups.
Any configured outlet groups are listed in the Group column, followed by the string used to
identify the group during configuration (in the form IPDU_ID[outlets] as shown). The Add,
Edit and Delete buttons are used to configure the outlet groups.
