Optional Accessories
Sensors
Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the eco PDU unit without
sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of an
instrumented data center with the use of the eco PDU, you would need to use
eco DC, a management web GUI, and install 4 sensors for each of the racks to
generate a complete energy-efficient data and chart. 8-port models have 2
sensor ports. In this case, sensor 1 needs to be installed at the intake of the rack
and sensor 2 needs to be placed at the exhaust of IT equipment of the rack. A
sensor-enabled installation is required to generate a more complete energy-
efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate
more accurate data. Available sensors are shown in the table, below:
Sensor Management
Sensors can be managed via the eco PDU’s built-in graphical user interface
(GUI) or with NRGence eco DC that can be downloaded from the ATEN
website. The download link can be found on the software CD provided with the
eco PDU package.
Cable Holders
Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-
Plug cable holders to secure the connecting cables of your attached devices in
place on the eco PDU. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have
been specifically designed to work with eco PDU. Using any other types of
cable securing device could be highly dangerous.

Method
Use the drop-down menu to select one of the choices, below:
Wake on LAN: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If this
is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco PDU first sends
a message to the computer telling it to prepare for a shutdown; it
then waits for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay field to
give the OS time to close down before the computer is powered
down to standby mode.
Likewise, when the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for
the amount time set in the Power On Delay field, then sends an
Ethernet message to the computer connected to the Outlet
telling the computer to turn itself On.
Note: For Safe Shutdown and Restart, the computer must be running
Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program
(available by download from our website), must be installed and running
on the computer.
System after AC Back: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart
option. If this is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco
PDU first sends a message to the computer telling it to prepare
for a shutdown; it then waits for the amount time set in the Power
Off Delay field to give the OS time to close down before the
computer is powered down.
When the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for the amount
time set in the Power On Delay field, then sends power to the
server. When the server receives the power, it turns itself on.
Note: For Safe Shutdown and Reboot, the computer must be running
Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program
(available by download from our website), must be installed and running
on the computer.
Kill the Power: If this option is selected, the eco PDU waits for the
amount time set in the Power Off Delay field, and then turns the
Outlet's power Off. Turning the power off performs a cold (non-
safe) shutdown.

Private Certificate
When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to
verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the
Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key
and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.
There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a
self-signed certificate; and importing a third-party certificate authority (CA)
signed certificate.
Generating a Self-Signed Certificate
If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility –
openssl.exe – is available for download over the web.
Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate
For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate
authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate, go
to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After
the CA sends you the certificate and private encryption key, save them to a
convenient location on your computer.

IP Address Determination
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the
eco PDU in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are
two methods to choose from. In each case, your client computer must be on the
same network segment as the eco PDU. After you have connected and logged
in you can give the device its fixed network address. (See Notification Settings,
page 37.)
Method 1:
For computers running Windows, an IP address can be determined and/or
assigned with the IP Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the
Download area of our web site or from the software CD. Look under Driver/
SW, and the model of your device. After downloading the utility to your
computer, do the following:
1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run
IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:
(Continues on next page.)
eco PDU PE Series User Manual
68
(Continued from previous page.)
3. Select the device in the Device List.
Note: 1. If the list is empty, or your device doesn't appear, click
Enumerate to refresh the Device List.
2. If there is more than one device in the list, use the MAC address
to pick the one you want. The eco PDU's MAC address is located
on its bottom panel.
4. Select either Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP), or Specify an
IP address. If you chose the latter, fill the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway fields with the information appropriate to your network.
5. Click Set IP.
6. After the IP address shows up in the Device List, click Exit to end the
program.
Method 2:
1. Set your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.XXX
Where XXX represents any number or numbers except 60. (192.168.0.60) is
the default address of the eco PDU.)
2. Specify the device’s default IP address (192.168.0.60) in your browser,
and you will be able to connect.
3. Assign a fixed IP address for the device (see IPv4 Configuration, page 40),
that is suitable for the network segment that it resides on.
4. After you log out, reset your computer's IP address to its original value.
5. Once you have logged in, go to Network Settings to set up the permanent
IP environment (see IPv4 Configuration, page 40).
Method 3:
NRGence eco DC allows you to determine/assign an IP address in order to
configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected
to it. NRGence eco DC can be obtained from the Download area of the ATEN
website.
