PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2
Part Number: PN378A

If the Online
indicator is not checked ( ), the EM assumes it is in the offline mode and will not attempt to
connect to the deployed Patch Panel Network. Changes made within the EM will not be updated in the
panels.
When the power consumed on any given panel reaches the Power Warning Threshold
below the
maximum power level
for that particular panel, the panel will issue a warning alarm and display that the
panel is in the warning range.
NOTE:
This above setting is a system-wide power warning threshold, but it used as a
percentage below maximum for each individual panel. Some panels in the
network might have their maximum panel power set at different levels and
therefore would alarm at different points. (See page 33,
Edit Panel Information,
for more information on the Power Threshold
field.)
Rack Space Numbering
is a system-wide field {ascending, descending} that enables the EM to display
the panels in the racks in the same fashion as they are wired in the network racks. Either the rack slots
are numbered from with the highest rack positions at the top (descending) or the highest rack positions at
the bottom (ascending). By setting this parameter appropriately, the rack-level displays presented by the
EM will show the
DPoE™ Power Patch Panels in their installed top-to-bottom order.
The SNMP Timeout Value
is a configurable threshold. If more than this number of seconds has expired
and the system hasn’t yet received an answer to a previously transmitted SNMP message, the system will
assume there is a communications problem.
DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Firmware Update
The
DPoE™ Power Patch Panel has the ability to have its firmware programmed remotely. A Trivial File
Transfer Protocol (TFTP) operation can be initiated using the Element Manager (EM). The
Firmware
Update option under the Tools pull-down menu provides a method to perform the update.
NOTE:
The latest version of firmware may be downloaded after product registration at
www.panduit.com/ManagedNetworkSolutions
The panduit.com website will allow users to download firmware updates to their own
TFTP server.
