A common application for the PDU is remote power recycling. Remote site management requires special consideration. All network equipment has the potential to lock up: servers can hang or ‘blue screen’ and often it only takes for the equipment to be re-booted to function again. However, if the equipment is situated remotely, in another building or city or country, then a visit to reboot locked up equipment can be a costly exercise. But perhaps more importantly, it can take more time than the demands of high availability networking can allow. When used with one of Rose’s UltraMatrix or UltraConsole switches, control of servers and devices at bios level is supplemented by the ability to cold reboot whilst online Configuration Cable Your package contains a configuration cable (DB9 female-to-RJ 6/6). Use this cable to connect the PDU serial port and a dumb terminal or PC for configuration. Any dumb terminal or terminal emulation package, such as Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT HyperTerminal will work fine, providing it is capable of running at up to 9600 baud. Alternatively, just connect via a spare KVM port on a Rose switch. System Requirements The PDU will communicate with any device that can emulate a VT100 terminal session, this therefore includes any PC that has a terminal emulation software package installed and also most terminals. The Controllable PDU operates at 9600 baud. Main Control Menu The PDU can be controlled simply using the following table of commands.
