3. Operations
Interfaces
The Switched PDU has two interfaces: the HTML interface accessed via the HTTP enabled Ethernet
connections and the command line for serial and Telnet connections.
Outlet Naming and Grouping
For commands requiring an outlet name, you may specify it in one of two ways: a predefined absolute name or
a descriptive name assigned by an administrator.
Absolute names are specified by a period (.) followed by a tower letter and outlet number. The tower letter for
the PTXL is A and the tower letter for the optional Expansion Module is B.
Outlets may also be included in one or more named groups of outlets, enabling you to issue a command that
affects all outlets in a named group.
Usernames and Passwords
The Switched PDU has one predefined administrative user account (username/password: admn/admn) and
supports a maximum of 128 defined user accounts
NOTE: For security, MGE UPS SYSTEMS recommends removal of the predefined administrative user account
after a new account with administrative rights has been created.
Only an administrative-level user may perform operations such as creating/removing user accounts and command
privileges, changing passwords and displaying outlet and user information. An administrator may also view the
status of and control power to all outlets.
The administrator may create additional user accounts and then grant these users the right to view the status of
and control power to specific outlets, groups and ports.
Usernames may contain from 1 to 24 characters and are not case sensitive; spaces are not allowed. Passwords
may contain up to 16 characters, and are case sensitive.

3. Operations
Setting the HTTP authentication method:
The Switched PDU HTTP server supports two authentication methods for security and validation of the
username-password – Basic and MD5 digest.
The Basic method utilizes Base64 encoding to encode and deliver the username-password over the network to
the HTTP server for decoding and authentication. This basic method is supported by all web browsers and
offers a minimum level of security.
NOTE: The Base64 algorithm is widely-known and susceptible to packet-sniffer attack for acquisition of the
encoded username-password string.
The MD5 digest method provides stronger protection utilizing one-way encoded hash numbers, never placing
the username-password on the network. Instead, the sending browser creates a challenge code based on the
hash algorithm, provided username-password and unique items such as the device IP address and timestamp,
which is compared against the HTTP server internal user database of valid challenge codes. The MD5 digest
method offers a higher level of security than the Basic method but at present is not supported by all browsers.
NOTE: MD5 is known to be fully supported by Internet Explorer 5.0+, Navigator 7.0+ and Firefox 1.0+.
Select Basic or MD5 from the Authentication drop-down menu and press Apply.
Setting SSL access level
Switched PDU SSL supports configuration of SSL connections as being either optional or required. The default
access level is set to optional.

SSL
Secure Socket Layers (SSL) version 3 enables secure HTML sessions between a Switched PDU Remote
Power Manager and a remote user. SSL provides two chief features designed to make TCP/IP (Internet)
transmitted data more secure:
•
•
Authentication – The connecting client is assured of the identity of the server.
Encryption – All data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted rendering any
intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.
SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requires the use of digital
certificates. An SSL Certificate is an electronic file uniquely identifying individuals or websites and enables
encrypted communication; SSL Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential. The Switched PDU
product’s SSL Certificate enables the client to verify the Switched PDU’s authenticity and to communicate with
the Switched PDU securely via an encrypted session, protecting confidential information from interception and
hacking.

SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 enables secure network terminal sessions between a Switched PDU Remote
Power Manager and a remote user over insecure network. SSH provides an encrypted terminal sessions with
strong authentication of both the server and client, using public-key cryptography and is typically used as a
replacement for unencrypted Telnet. In addition to enabling secure network terminal sessions to the Switched
PDU for configuration and power management, the SSH session may be used for secure pass through
connections to attached devices.
SSH requires the configuration and use of a client agent on the client PC. There are many freeware, shareware

Temp Trap
The Temp trap is generated whenever the temperature on a temperature/humidity sensor is beyond preset
thresholds. Temp traps include the reported temperature, temp status, Location of the Switched PDU, and
identifier and name of the affected sensor.
Any error state generates a Temp trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every
timer period until the Temp returns to a non-error status.

Resetting to Factory Defaults
You may reset the non-volatile RAM that stores all configurable options. This clears all administrator-editable
fields and resets all command line configurable options to their default values, including all user accounts.
You may reset the unit to factory defaults from the command line or the HTML interface, or by pressing the
reset button. You must have administrator-level privileges to issue the command. Using the reset button may
be necessary when a forgotten password prevents administrator login. Each of the methods updates the
current working configuration to the factory defaults.
NOTE: Resetting the unit resets all TCP/IP and Telnet/Web configurations. Reconfiguring the TCP/IP and
Telnet/web settings will be required.
To reset to factory defaults from the HTML interface
On the Restart page in the Tools section of the HTML interface, select Restart and reset to factory
defaults from the drop-down menu and press Apply.
To reset to factory defaults from the command line
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type restart factory and press Enter.
To reset to factory defaults using the reset button
Locate the recessed reset button directly beside the Serial & Ethernet ports. You will need a non-conductive,
non-metallic tool that fits inside the recess.
Insert the tool in the recess, then depress and hold the reset button for at least ten seconds.
NOTE: If the reset button is depressed and held for more than 15 seconds, the reset will abort.
Uploading Firmware
You may upload new versions of firmware using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). This allows access to new
firmware releases for firmware improvements and new features additions.
NOTE: To begin an FTP upload session, you must first configure the FTP Host address, username/password,
filename and filepath. For information on configuring the FTP settings required for firmware upload see FTP
You may initiate an FTP upload session by issuing a command or from the HTML interface. You must have
administrator-level privileges to initiate an upload.
To initiate an FTP upload session from the HTML interface
On the Restart page in the Tools section of the HTML interface, select Restart and upload firmware via
FTP from the drop-down menu and press Apply.
Upon issuing this command the unit will restart and upload the firmware file specified with the FTP Filename
information.
To initiate an FTP upload session from the command line
The Restart FTPLoad command initiates an upload of firmware. Upon issuing this command the unit will restart
and upload the firmware file specified with the FTP Filename command from the previously configured FTP
To initiate an FTP firmware upload session:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type restart ftpload and press Enter.
