32
When the Outlet Managed PDU is operated via a PDA device, only the following
functions are available:
• Product Status Screen (Section 8.1)
• Plug Status Screen (Section 8.3)
• Plug Group Status Screen (Section 8.4)
• Plug Control Screen (Section 9.1.1)
• Plug Group Control Screen (Section 9.1.2)
• Current & Power Metering (Section 8.5)
• Current History Graph (Section 8.6)
These screens will allow PDA users to review Plug Status and Plug Group Status,
invoke switching and reboot commands, display Current Metering Readings, show
Current History and display the Site I.D. and rmware version. Note however, that
PDA users are not allowed to change or review Outlet Managed PDU conguration
parameters.
To congure the Outlet Managed PDU for access via PDA, rst consult your IT
department for appropriate settings. Access the Outlet Managed PDU command
mode via the Text Interface or Web Browser interface as described in this section,
then congure the Outlet Managed PDU’s Network Port accordingly, as described in
Section 5.9.
In most cases, this conguration will be adequate to allow communication with most
PDAs. Note however, that if you wish to use a BlackBerry® to contact the Outlet
Managed PDU, you must rst make certain to congure the BlackBerry to support
HTML tables, as described below:
1. Power on the BlackBerry, and then click on the BlackBerry Internet Browser
Icon.
2. Press the Menu button, and then choose "Options."
3. From the Options menu, choose "Browser Conguration," then verify to
make certain that "Support HTML Tables" is checked (enabled.)
4. Press the Menu button, and select "Save Options."
When you have nished communicating with the Outlet Managed PDU via PDA, it
is important to always close the session using the PDA’s menu functions, rather than
by simply closing the browser window, in order to ensure that the Outlet Managed
PDU has completely exited from command mode, and is not waiting for the
inactivity timeout period to elapse. For example, to close a session on a BlackBerry,
press the Menu button and then choose "Close."
