one network connection. The Rack PDU provides real-time remote monitoring of connected loads. User-
defined alarms warn of potential circuit overloads. The Rack PDU provides full control over outlets
through remote commands and user interface settings.
Your unit comes with one terminator installed. It is not needed for stand-alone operation of this unit. To

use Network Port Sharing between up to four units, a terminator must be installed in the In port at one
end of the group and another on the Out port at the other end of the group.
You can manage a Rack PDU through its Web interface, its command line interface (CLI), StruxureWare
Data Center Expert, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). (To use the PowerNet MIB with
an SNMP browser, see the PowerNet SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) Reference Guide,

available at www.apc.com.) Rack PDUs have these additional features:
• Peak load, and power and energy monitoring for all connected loads.
• Voltage, current, and power monitoring for phases.
• Configurable alarm thresholds that provide network and visual alarms to help avoid overloaded
• Four levels of user access accounts: Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User, and Outlet User
• Configurable power delays.
• Up to twenty-four independent outlet user accounts.
• Event and data logging. The event log is accessible by Telnet, Secure CoPy (SCP), File Transfer
Protocol (FTP), serial connection, or Web browser (using HTTPS access with SSL, or using
HTTP access). The data log is accessible by Web browser, SCP, or FTP.
• E-mail notifications for Rack PDU and system events.
• SNMP traps, Syslog messages, and e-mail notifications based on the severity level or category of
• Security protocols for authentication and encryption.
• Network Port Sharing: Up to four Rack PDUs can be connected using the In and Out ports so that

Generation
Enables (by default) or disables the Syslog feature.
Facility CodeSelects the facility code assigned to the Rack PDU’s Syslog messages (User, by default).
Note:User best defines the Syslog messages sent by the Rack PDU. Do not change this selec-
tion unless advised to do so by the Syslog network or system administrator.
Mapping
Maps each severity level of Rack PDU or Environment events to available Syslog priorities.
The following definitions are from RFC3164:
