7.3. The Circuit Breaker Open Alarm
The Circuit Breaker Alarm is intended to provide notication in the event that one
of the Outlet Managed PDU’s circuit breakers is opened. When a circuit breaker is
open, the Outlet Managed PDU can provide prompt notication via Email, Syslog
Message or SNMP Trap.
Notes:
• The Circuit Breaker Open Alarm is not applicable to some Outlet
Managed PDU models.
• In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide alarm notification
via Email, communication parameters must first be defined as
described in Section 5.9.11.
• In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide alarm notification
via Syslog Message, Syslog parameters must first be defined and
Syslog Messages must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.2
and Section 11.
• In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide alarm notification
via SNMP Trap, SNMP parameters must first be defined, and
SNMP Traps must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.7 and
Section 12.
To congure the Circuit Breaker Alarm, you must access the Outlet Managed PDU
command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. The
Circuit Breaker Open Alarm Conguration Menu offers the following parameters:
• Trigger Enable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When
Disabled, this alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On.)
Note:
To cancel an alarm without correcting the condition that caused the
alarm, simply toggle the Trigger Enable parameter Off and then back
On again.
• Resend Delay: Determines how long the Outlet Managed PDU will wait to
resend an email message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to
send the notication was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes.)
• Notify Upon Clear: When this item is enabled, the Outlet Managed PDU
will send additional notication when the situation that caused the alarm has
been corrected. For example, when Notify Upon Clear is enabled, the Outlet
Managed PDU can send initial notication when it detects an open circuit
breaker, and then send a second notication when it determines that the
circuit breaker has been closed. (Default = On.)
