A firmware update includes the firmware itself, the bootloader, and optionally the PDU web interface files. Updates can be achieved using any of three methods:
PDU Configuration Tool is distributed with the firmware update package, inside the “PCT” folder. Launch PCT and select the region for your SKU type (Europe, Australia, Asia models) Then select “Firmware Maintenance” from the top menu and discover the PDUs using the upgrade window shown below. Input the range of expected IP addresses, enter the read community string, and hit discovery. In this example, eight PDUs have been discovered involving a variety of different SKU types. Tick the units targeted for update (only units of same SKU type can be updated together). Then select which file is to be upgraded, firmware, bootloader, or PDU configuration file and browse to select it on the PC. Web files can be uploaded along with the firmware file. Enter username and password for the PDUs and select Upload to start the process. Note that you will need the FTP option on your PDUs to be open in order to complete this procedure
This guide will detail how to use the Enlogic PDU Configuration Tool (PCT) which can be found in the latest FW download to update multiple PDUs firmware, bootloader, config and web files simultaneously.
Extract the PCT tool from the firmware folder and launch the PCT tool then select your region Select Firmware Maintenance from the top menu and discover your PDUs Enter your IP range and discover your PDUs, tick the PDUs that are targeted for updates Then select ONE of the following, and or Web.
You can also select “Web” to update the PDU web interface files. Note: only one selection can be made at any one time Browse the file location, once you have the file located you will need to provide the PCT tool with a username and password that has admin rights to the PDUs Default username: admin Password: 12345678 Once you have entered the all the relevant information select Upload. This will update your PDUs with the selected Firmware, Config, BOOT or Web files Note that you will need the FTP option on your PDUs to be open in order to complete this procedure
This guide shall describe the procedure to upgrade firmware using a USB Stick.
All EN and EZ range products.
You will need a USB key formatted to FAT32, and the latest firmware binary file.
This Guide explains how to upgrade the firmware and bootloader files on Enlogic products using a serial connection and PuTTy or Hyperterminal tools. Note that the web-interface files cannot be upgraded using this technique.
All EN range PDUs and EZ range In Line Meter (ILM) products.
Procedure The new firmware and bootloader files must be transferred to the correct folder in the PDU storage area. CLI instructions can then be sent over the serial or Telnet connection to perform the upgrades. Download zip file of latest firmware updates from the Enlogic Downloads Page and unzip to a suitable place on your PC. The files PDU.bin (Firmware) and BOOT.bin (Bootloader) will be found in the set of files contained in the download. Ensure that the FTP port is open on the PDU. This can be confirmed using the web interface ( tab “Device Configuration->Network Services->FTP”, tick “Enable FTP access”. Use FTP to login to the PDU with admin credentials. The structure of the PDU/ILM FTP area is as follows: root conf fw -> contains the files BOOT.bin and PDU.bin info lang log mib web Perform an FT transfer of the BDU.bin file and the BOOT.bin file to the “fw” folder in the PDU. FTP will ask whether to overwrite the existing files, type “yes” to overwrite and continue. Latest firmware and Bootloader files are now loaded onto the PDU. To complete the update process open a serial or telnet connection to the PDU. In PuTTy, open a connection using admin credentials.Or in Hyperterminal, open a Serial connection or a Telnet/LAN connection, using admin credentials. Type “sys upd lan” and confirm by typing “Y” when asked. Th ePDU wiil reboot automatically once the upgrade is finished. Type “sys upd boot” and confirm by typing “Y” when asked. Th PDU wiil reboot automatically once the upgrade is finished. Firmware and Booloader have now been updated. Close FTP and serial/Telnet connections.
This Guide explains how to upgrade the firmware file on Enlogic products using the web interface.
All EN and EZ range products.
The web interface can be used to update the firmware file in the PDU. However please note that neither the Bootloader files nor the web interface file-set can be updated from the web interface itself.
You can confirm that the update was successful update by logging in again and opening the tab “System Administration” and choosing “Device Information”. The firmware revision level will be found in the resulting pop-up window.
Note: The default username is admin. The default password is 12345678. Configuring the PDU with a static IP address overrides the default IP address.
Note: DO NOT assign the Laptop/PC IP address as 192.168.0.1. In a standard web browser, enter the ‘http://192.168.0.1’ and proceed to configure the PDU, or access the CLI using SSH or Telnet (NB. Telnet is disabled by default). Note: The default username is admin. The default password is 12345678. Configuring the PDU with a static IP address will override this feature.
This guide describes how to change an IP address on a PDU that has got a DHCP address.
All EN and EZ Products (excluding Enpowered PDUs not yet fitted with a Network Management Card)
Once the PDU or in-line meter (ILM) is powered on and connected to a managed switch the device will be given a DHCP address by a DHCP server if available. If no DHCP server is available to issue an IP address the PDU or ILM will auto assign the IP address of 192.168.0.1 to itself. Use a browser to go the website of the PDU (eg http://192.168.0.1) You will be presented with a login box where you will have to enter your admin username and password. The default is “admin” and password of “12345678” (note, when you log in for the first time you will be asked to change your password, please keep this information safe) Once logged in select the Device Configuration drop down menu and click on Network Configuration Select the IP protocol you wish to use IPv4 Only IPv6 Only IPv4 & IPv6 Select the DNS Resolver Preference IPv4 Address IPv6 Address Select the IPv4 Settings tab and change/input the following information in order to configure the network card IP Auto Configuration (STATIC or DHCP) IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway Primary DNS Server Secondary DNS Server DNS Suffix (optional) Once you have populated this information select OK. Then select System Administration and click on Network Card Reset and the PDU or ILM will restart and you will be able to access the PDU or ILM on your selected IP address
This guide describes how to connect both PDUs in a rack to 2 separate secure networks simultaneously, using Enlogic’s Dual Network Access (DNA, patent pending).
All EN (excluding Enpowered PDUs not yet fitted with a Network Management Card) and EZ range products. DNA works using a redundant power delivery design (i.e., 2 rack PDUs for each IT rack).
Setup should follow the below steps:
Each PDU is now networked separately but connected to the other PDU as a master via the two way daisy chain, thus making data from itself and it’s slave accessible on both Networks ‘A’ and ‘B’. The level of access granted to each network is governed by the role(s) assigned to the users on that network, within each PDUs Web Interface (see PDU and Inline Meter Web Interface- Guide and Setting Up Access Roles- Guide for more information). For example, Network A has administrator access, while Network B has view only access.
This guide will describe how to replace a network card in a PDU or In-Line meter (ILM) while the device is still operational (hot swappable).
All EN and EZ range products.
You will need the following tools to complete this work 1x TT10x75 Screw Driver 1x Enlogic network card
Start by unscrewing the screws from the top and bottom of the front of the Network Management Card (NMC). Then remove the ribbon cable from the back of the network card and replace the network card with the new one, ensuring the ribbon cable is securely fitted to the network card. Place the network card back into the casing and screw the network card back into place. Once this has been done the IP address will be retained but you will need to reconfigure the network card.
The EN series PDU can be accessed using its static IP address.
Note: DO NOT assign the Laptop/PC IP address as 192.168.0.1. In a standard web browser, enter the ‘http://192.168.0.1’ and proceed to configure the PDU, or access the CLI using SSH or Telnet (NB. Telnet is disabled by default). Note: The default username is admin. The default password is 12345678. Configuring the PDU with a static IP address will override this feature.
Retrieving information about current, voltage, power etc. from an individual outlet can be achieved in two different ways. Taking current as an example: The MIB file contains the entire function tree for the PDU, including functions such as outlet current delivery, see in the MIB: pduOutletMeteredStatusCurrent “Returns the current draw, in tenths of Amps, of the load on the PDU outlet being queried.” ::= { pduOutletMeteredStatusEntry 5 } In the web interface you can find this info in the left-hand window “PDU explorer”, click on the small triangle next to the yellow folder marked Outlet Power Management and you will see a list of all the outlets. If you click on an outlet, you will see a new page of information appear including current, voltage, active power etc.
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is an alternate method used to manage and control the PDU status and parameters, as well as basic admin functions. Through the CLI a user can:
Reset the PDU Display PDU and network properties Configure the PDU and network settings Switch outlets on/off View user information
The CLI can be accessed over a serial connection using a program such as HyperTerminal, or through a Telnet or SSH client such as PuTTY.
All EN (excluding Enpowered PDUs not yet fitted with a Network Management Card) and EZ range products.
Logging in with HyperTerminal To login through HyperTerminal, set the COM settings to the following parameters: Bits per second: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None
Logging in with SSH has been enabled: go to Device Configuration > Network Service. Select the Enable Access checkbox. Select OK. Open an SSH. Enter the IP address with the Host Name field. Select the connection type:
SSH, enter 23 in the Port field. For SSH, enter 22 in the Port field. Select Open. Enter your Username. Press Enter. Enter your password. Press Enter.
You are now logged into the SSH. Refer to the CLI Commands table below for available commands. Note: SSH connection is not available when serial connection is enabled.
SNMP or Simple Network Management Protocol can be used to manage the EN Series PDU(s) remotely. This guide will help you configure a PDU to allow remote access.
All EN (excluding Enpowered PDUs not yet fitted with a Network Management Card) and EZ range products.
SNMP Configuration Go to Device Configuration > Network Services > SNMP. In the General Tab of the SNMP Settings dialog, select the enable box in the SNMP v1/v2c field to allow Communication with an SNMP manager Complete the Read Community String and Write Community String in the corresponding fields. (Typically, the Read Community and the Write community are public.) Select the enable checkbox in the SNMP v3 section, to allow for secure communication with an SNMP manager Using SNMP v3 protocol. Complete the MIB-II System Group section by entering the sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation. Select OK to save the changes. Configuring Users for Encrypted SNMP v3 SNMP v3 protocol allows for encrypted communication. To enable SNMP v3 for a user, you must have SNMP Setting Privileges: Go to User Administration > Users Highlight the user that requires the SNMPv3 permissions. Select the Edit button. Select the SNMPv3 tab to enable and configure SNMPv3 access and enter the desired settings: Select the “Enable SNMPv3 access” checkbox. (Leave this box blank to restrict SNMP access).
