Appendix C-PDU Daisy-Chain Function

The daisy-chain function allows up to four PDUs to be connected together to be monitored and controlled from one IP address.

Ethernet

Host

Guest #1

Guest #2

Guest #3

When PDUs are connected, two roles are defined: Host and Guest. Up to three Guest PDUs can be connected to one Host PDU. The Guest PDUs will be recognized by serial number and their order within the daisy-chain. Note: To perform the daisy-chain function, the firmware version of
the connected PDUs needs to be the same (v1.08 or above).
How to connect the PDUs together? Use one Ethernet cable and connect one end of it to the daisychain (Out) port on the Host PDU and the other end to the daisychain (In/ENV) port on the Guest 1 PDU to connect the PDUs (as shown below).
Host PDU

Guest #1 PDU

Out port In/ENV port

What remote management protocols are supported in PDU daisychains?
Currently users can monitor and control daisy-chained PDUs through Web interface (HTTP/HTTPS) or SNMP protocols.

What functions on the Web pages does daisy-chain support? Please find in below table:

Summary PDU

Device Status Outlet Status Device Manager Outlet Manager Outlet Control Outlet Schedule Status Records Energy Records Graphing Identification

34

Appendix C-PDU Daisy-Chain Function
How to switch between Host and Guest PDUs on the Web interface? Functionality supported by daisy-chained PDUs will have the Host/ Guest # drop down menu displayed on the Web interface (as shown below).

Can I upgrade the firmware version of the Guest PDUs through the Host PDU?
Yes, you can upgrade the firmware using the Upgrade and Configuration Utility, FTP (network connection required), or USB port. Once the Hostcompletes the PDU firmware upgrade, it will trigger its Guest PDUs to upgrade the firmware automatically. It takes about 5 minutes for the Guest PDUs to upgrade, regardless of the number of PDUs in the series.
What will happen if an Ethernet cable is disconnected in the PDU daisy-chain?
For example, if four PDUs are connected and the cable connecting Guest 1 and 2 is disconnected, then Guest 2 and 3 will no longer be detected by the Host PDU. An event showing that Guest 2 and 3 are removed will be recorded in the Host PDU. Meanwhile, Guest 2 and 3 will create a new daisy-chain where Guest 2 becomes a Host and Guest 3 becomes Guest 1 to the new Host.

Ethernet

Host

Guest #1

Guest #2 Host
Guest #3 Guest #1
In the above example, if the disconnected Ethernet cable is reconnected, will the role of the PDUs stay the same? Yes, when the disconnected cable between Guest 1 and 2 is reconnected, Guest 2 and 3 will revert to their previous roles.
What happens if one PDU in the daisy-chain is powered off? For example, if four PDUs are connected and Guest 1 is powered o, an event showing that Guest 1, 2 and 3 are removed will be recorded in the Host PDU. Guest 2 and 3 will not create another daisy-chain.
Does the Host PDU record the logs of the Guest PDUs and itself? Yes, the Host PDU records the logs from all Guest PDUs daisychained to it.
Will the Logs of the Guest PDUs recorded in the Host PDU be cleared if the Guest PDUs are removed from the Host PDU? No, the Logs of the Guest PDUs will remain even after the Guest PDUs are removed.
