Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

• --- Outlets overview and settings.
• --- Lines page.
• --- The faults page.
• --- The device info page.
• --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the unit.

• parameter --- description

• address --- The SNMP address specification for the device. The full address specification consists of the following fields:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community

  • aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd --- The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
  • pppp --- The IP port number where the device accepts SNMP requests. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 161 in this case.
  • read-community --- The SNMP read community name. This must match the read community expected by the device.
  • write-community --- The SNMP write community name. This must match the write community expected by the device. The write community name may be omitted, the driver uses the read community name for both, read and write in this case. If both community names are missing, the driver uses 'public' as a default for read and write community.

• sequenceInterval --- Defines the power-on sequencing interval for all outlets in seconds.

• rebootDelay --- Defines the delay in seconds for all outlets.

• temp.loThreshold.xx --- Defines the low temperature alarm for the individual sensors.

• temp.hiThreshold.xx --- Defines the high temperature alarm for the individual sensors.

• humidity.loThreshold.xx --- Defines the low humidity alarm for the individual sensors.

• humidity.hiThreshold.xx --- Defines the high humidity alarm for the individual sensors.

• sensUnit --- Switch between temperature display Fahrenheit and Celsius.

• postOnDelay.xx --- Defines the post on switch delay individual for each outlet.

• deviceComment --- An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines.
