Chapter 1 Introduction
The Dominion PX unit is an intelligent power distribution unit that
allows you to reboot remote servers and other network devices, and
monitor power in the data center, through Raritanʹs KVM switches and
Secure Console Servers. From the office or from anywhere, the Dominion
PX unit will power on, power off, or reboot remote equipment, as well as
monitor current, voltage, power, and temperature.
The Dominion PX offers the ability to recover systems remotely in the
event of system failure and/or system lockup. It eliminates the need to
perform manual intervention or dispatch field personnel, reduces
downtime and mean time to repair, and increases productivity.

Rack Mount Safety Guidelines
In Raritan products which require Rack Mounting, please follow these
precautions:
Operation temperature in a closed rack environment may be greater
than room temperature. Do not exceed the rated maximum ambient
temperature of the appliances (see Appendix A: Specifications).
Ensure sufficient airflow through the rack environment.
Mount equipment in the rack carefully to avoid uneven mechanical
loading.
Connect equipment to the supply circuit carefully to avoid
overloading circuits.
Ground all equipment properly, especially supply connections, to the
branch circuit.
The Zero U units are provided with high
grade engineering polycarbonate isolation
hardware to allow fixing in a variety of
positions within the rack.
For panel/flush mount, pull out fixing
brackets are available on each end cap to
allow mounting on suitable rails.
See other options shown below.

Tool-less Mounting Instructions
Tool-less Mounting Instructions
The Zero U units also ship with a tool‐less mounting kit consisting of a
claw feet with a silver button on one side. These work by attaching to the
back side of a Zero U Dominion PX (the side opposite of the outlets) and
fitting the button into the mounting holes of the cabinet. Note that not all
racks may allow the option of securing the Dominion PX in this way.
Before Beginning:
•
Ensure that you have sufficient space in the cabinet to mount the
Dominion PX. Approximately one inch of clearance is required at
each end (top and bottom) of the unit.
•
It may help to mark the back of the Dominion PX through the
mounting holes you intend to use. You can then use this mark to
assist in aligning the silver buttons properly when attaching the
claw‐feet.

Chapter 2: Rack-Mounting the Dominion PX
To Mount:
•
Snap fit the claw feet mounts onto the back of the Dominion PX unit.
Leave at least 24 inches between the buttons for stability. Once the
claw feet are mounted on the Dominion PX rail, they will not readily
move‐a flat‐head screwdriver can be used to remove the feet if they
need to be repositioned.
•
•
Align the silver buttons with the mounting holes in the cabinet, and
ensure that both buttons can engage their mounting holes
simultaneously.
Press the Dominion PX forward, pushing the silver buttons through
the mounting holes, then letting the Dominion PX drop about 5/8ths
of an inch. This will secure the Dominion PX in place and complete
the installation.
The picture shows how firm pressure is applied to snap fit the claw feet
to the Dominion PX Zero‐U unit. Hook one side of the product body into
one side of a claw foot first, and then apply pressure to snap in the
second side.

Front Panel
The front panel of the 1U and 2U Dominion PX units consists of a blue
LED to the right and three connection ports to the left, while that of the
Zero U model consists of power outlets to connect devices to Dominion
PX, a display panel, and three connection ports.
Connection Ports
The three ports, from left to right, are labeled as Serial (RJ‐45), Feature
(RJ‐12), and LAN (Ethernet, RJ‐45). The table below explains what each
port is used for.
Port
Used for...
Serial
Establishing a serial connection between a computer and the Dominion PX
Take the null‐modem cable that was shipped with the Dominion PX unit,
connect the end with the RJ‐45 connector to the port labeled Serial on the
front of the Dominion PX, and connect the end with the DB9F connector to
the serial (COM) port on the computer.
The serial port is also used to interface with some Raritan access products
(such as the Dominion KX) through the use of a power CIM.

Back Panel
LAN
Connecting the Dominion PX to your companyʹs network
Connect a standard Category 5e UTP cable to this port and connect the other
end to your network. This connection is necessary to administer the
Dominion PX remotely using the Web interface.
There are two small LEDs under the LAN port. Green indicates a physical
link and activity, and yellow indicates communication at 10/100 BaseT
speeds.
Note: Connecting any power CIM except the for the D2CIM‐PWR (e.g.
P2CIM‐PWR) to the serial port of the Dominion PX will switch all the
outlets to the ON state, even if they were previously OFF
Blue LED
Only 1U and 2U models consist of a blue LED on the front panel. The
blue LED on the right side of the front panel is lit solid as soon as the
Dominion PX unit is plugged in.
Back Panel
The back panel of the 1U and 2U Dominion PX units consists of, from left
to right, a power cord, power outlets to connect devices to the Dominion
PX, and a display panel, while the Zero U models consist of no back
panel.
Power Cord
The power cord that connects the Dominion PX to a power source is
located on the far left of the back panel or on the end of the unit if the
unit is a Zero U type. All devices can not be rewired by the user.
Note: Each Dominion PX model should be plugged into an
appropriately rated outlet for its type.
There is no power switch on the Dominion PX. On products rated at over
20A there are branch circuit breakers that are fully shrouded to prevent
accidental operation. To power cycle the unit, remove the power cord
from the power source and then re‐connect it.

Outlets
The number of outlets on the back panel depends upon the Dominion PX
model. To the upper left of each outlet is a small LED. The units are
shipped from the factory with all outlets powered ON. The table below
explains how to interpret the different LED states.

Chapter 4: Using the Dominion PX
The LED display consists of these components:
•
•
•
A lower row displaying two digits
An upper row displaying three digits
Up and Down buttons
Note: The small hole between the lower row and the Down button is the
reset hole. The Dominion PX unit can be reset to its factory default
values through this hole when connected to the serial port. Refer to
Simply pressing on this Reset hole will ONLY restart the unit.
Lower Row
The lower row shows the outlet number.
Upper Row
The upper row shows the current, voltage, and power readings for the
outlet indicated in the lower row. During the firmware upgrade process,
the upper row displays “FuP” to indicate that a Firmware Upgrade is
being performed on the unit.
How to Operate the LED Display
1. Use the Up and Down buttons to select an outlet. Pressing the Up
button once moves up one outlet number. Pressing the Down button
once moves down one outlet number.
2. When an outlet is selected, the outlet number is displayed in the
lower row and the current in the upper row. Current is displayed in
the format: XX.X (A)
3. To display the voltage for the selected outlet, press the Up and
Down buttons simultaneously. The voltage reading will replace the
current for about 5 seconds, after which the current will return.
4. To display the active power for the selected outlet, first press the Up
and Down button simultaneously to display the voltage, and then
again to display the active power. Active Power is displayed in the
format: X.XX in volt‐amps (VA).

Circuit Breaker
Tip: A quick way to distinguish between voltage, current, and power is
the placement of the decimal point in the display. Voltage has no
decimal point, current has a decimal point between the first and second
digits, and power has a decimal point between the second and third
digits.
You can view the current and voltage for the entire Dominion PX unit by
using the Up and Down buttons to select the outlet number 00. The
LEDs do not show the active power for the unit and display ‐‐‐ instead.
Circuit Breaker
The Dominion PX includes branch circuit breakers that automatically
trip when a power overload is detected. The Dominion PX uses circuit
breakers with Type C Trip Characteristic. If the circuit breaker switches
off the voltage rail, the lower row of the display panel will jump to the
lowest outlet number affected by the circuit breaker error, and the upper
row will display these three letters, which mean circuit breaker error:
CbE
Note: Dominion PX models that are embedded with circuit breakers are
those units rated over 20 Amp, including DPCS12‐30L, DPCS20‐30L,
DPCS20A‐32, DPCS20A‐30L6, DPCR20‐30L, and DPCR20A‐32.
You will still be able to switch between outlets on the Dominion PXʹs
display panel. Outlets affected by the error will show CbE. Unaffected
outlets will show the current and voltage readings as described above.
To reset the breakers in the event of an overload:
•
On the 1U and 2U products unclip, the front molding to access the
breaker(s).
•
On the Zero U product, access the breaker(s) by lifting the hinged
cover over the breaker element.

Beeper
The Dominion PX includes a beeper. It will ring if any of the circuit
breakers is tripped or if the control board temperature sensor exceeds 80
degrees Celsius (or 176 degrees Fahrenheit).
The beeper will cease ringing when the broken circuit breaker conditions
disappear or the control board temperature sensor drops below 70
degrees Celsius (or 158 degrees Fahrenheit).
The temperature thresholds are factory defaults, and can be user‐
configurable.
It takes a maximum of three seconds for the beeper to start ringing right
after the circuit breaker is tripped.

Setting Up User Profiles
The Dominion PX is shipped with one user profile built in. This is the
Admin profile, which was used for the original login. This profile has
full system and outlet permissions, and should be reserved for the
system administrator. This profile cannot be modified or deleted.
All users must have a user profile. The profile specifies a login name and
password, and contains additional (optional) information about the user.
It also assigns the user to a User Group, and the User Group determines
the userʹs system and outlet permissions.
If you choose, you can refrain from assigning some or all users to a User
Group, and instead assign their system and outlets permissions on an
individual basis.
Note: By default, multiple users can log in at the same time using the
login name from the same profile. You can change this so only one user
at a time can use a specific login. This is done by choosing Device
Settings ‐‐> Security and checking the checkbox labeled Enable Single
Login Limitation.

Configuring the Firewall
The Dominion PX has a firewall that can be configured to prevent
specific IP addresses and ranges of IP addresses from accessing the
Dominion PX. When the Dominion PX was initially configured, you
were prompted to enable or disable IP access control. If you selected
Disable (the default), the Dominion PX firewall was not enabled.
To configure the firewall, you have to enable the firewall, and then you
have to set the default policy and create rules specifying which addresses
to accept and which addresses to drop. Changes made to firewall rules
will take effect immediately. Any unauthorized IP activities will cease
instantly.
Note: The purpose of disabling the firewall by default is to prevent users
from accidentally locking themselves out of the unit. Refer to
Enable the Firewall
To enable the Dominion PX firewall:
1. Choose Device Settings ‐‐> Security. The Security Settings window
appears. The panel at the upper right is labeled IP Access Control.
This controls the firewall.
2. Click the checkbox labeled Enable IP Access Control. This enables
the firewall.
3. Click Apply. The firewall is enabled.

Change the Default Policy
Once enabled, the firewall has a default policy built in that accepts traffic
from all IP addresses. This means any IP addresses not dropped by a
specific rule will be permitted to access the Dominion PX. You can
change the default policy to DROP, in which case traffic from all IP
addresses will be dropped except traffic allowed by a specific ACCEPT
rule.
To change the default policy:
1. Choose Device Settings ‐‐> Security. The Security Settings window
appears. The panel at the upper right is labeled IP Access Control.
This controls the firewall.
2. Make sure the checkbox labeled Enable IP Access Control is
checked.
3. The default policy is shown in the Default Policy field (refer to the
figure shown above ). To change it, select the policy you want from
the drop‐down list in the field.
4. Click Apply. The new default policy is applied.
Create Firewall Rules
Firewall rules accept or drop traffic intended for the Dominion PX, based
on the IP address of the host sending the traffic. When creating firewall
rules, keep the following in mind:
•
Rule order The order of the rules is important. When traffic reaches
the Dominion PX, the rules are executed in numerical order. The first
rule that matches the IP address determines whether the traffic is
accepted or dropped. Any subsequent rules matching the IP address
have no effect on the traffic
•
Subnet mask
When typing the IP address, you MUST specify
both the address and a subnet mask. For example, to specify a single
address in a Class C network, use this format:
x.x.x.x/24
where /24 = a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.To specify an entire
subnet or range of addresses, change the subnet mask accordingly.
To create firewall rules:
1. Choose Device Settings ‐‐> Security. The Security Settings window
appears. The panel at the upper right is labeled IP Access Control.
This controls the firewall.

Setting Up External User Authentication
For security purposes, users attempting to log into the Dominion PX
must be authenticated. You can use the local database of user profiles in
the Dominion PX, or you can use the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) or the Remote Access Dial‐In User Service (RADIUS)
protocol.
By default, the Dominion PX is configured for local authentication. If you
stay with this method, you do not have to do anything other than create
user profiles for each authorized user. If you prefer to use an external
LDAP or RADIUS server, you have to provide the system with
information about the server.
Keep in mind that you still need to create user profiles for users who are
authenticated externally. This is because the user profile determines the
User Group to which the user belongs, and the User Group determines
the userʹs system and outlet permissions.

associated with any of the physical sensors.
Note: It is possible (but not advisable) to map more than one logical
sensor to a single physical sensor. You cannot map multiple physical
sensors to a single logical one.
Configuring Environmental Sensors and Thresholds
To make sensors more useful, you should rename the logical sensors that
are in use and configure their threshold settings. Configuring thresholds
for these sensors allows Dominion PX to generate an alert whenever
environmental factors at those sensors move outside of your idea values.
1. From the Environmental Sensors page, locate the logical sensors
that have been mapped to physical sensors as described above.
2. In the Name field, type a new name for each mapped sensor that will
help you identify the sensor and its purpose.
3. Configure the upper and lower thresholds for each sensor in use.
•
The Upper Critical and Lower Critical values are points at which
the Dominion PX considers the operating environment is critical,
and outside the range of the acceptable threshold.
•
Once critical, the temperature or humidity must drop below the
Upper Non‐Critical (or raise above the Lower Non‐Critical) value
before the Dominion PX considers the environment to be acceptable
again.

Creating Alert Policies
Alert policies allow you to associate events with destinations. Policies
determine whether specific events trigger an entry in the event log, an
email message to an administrator, an SNMP trap, a selected outlet to be
switched on/off/cycled, or any combination of the four.
About Policies
The diagram below illustrates the way policies associate events with
destinations. In this example, five events and two policies are defined.
•
Events 1 and 2 are associated with the Red policy. This means they
trigger an email message to an administrator and an SNMP trap.
•
Events 3, 4, and 5 are associated with the Syslog policy. They trigger
entries in the event log and selected outlets to be switched, but do
not send email messages or traps.

About the CLP Interface
The Dominion PX provides a command line interface that enables data
center administrators to perform certain basic management tasks. You
can access the interface over a serial connection using a terminal
emulation program such as HyperTerminal, or via a Telnet or SSH client
such as PuTTY.
Note: Telnet access to the Dominion PX is disabled by default because
Telnet transmits in the clear and is insecure. To enable Telnet, select
Device Settings ‐‐> Network and click the check box labeled Enable
CLP‐Telnet Access.
Note: About Terminal Emulation Programs ‐ HyperTerminal is available
on many Windows OS. But HyperTerminal is not available on Windows
Vista. PuTTY is a free program you can download from the internet.
Please refer to PuTTYʹs documentation for details on configuration.
The command line interface is based on the Systems Management
Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) Command Line Protocol
(CLP). Using this interface, you can do the following:
•
Display the name, power state (on or off), and sensors associated
with each Dominion PX outlet
•
•
Turn each outlet on or off
Display the status of the sensors associated with each outlet

advantage of this, users will need to have a Encryption Phrase,which acts
as a shared secret between them and the Dominion PX. This encryption
phrase can be set in the User Management page.
1. Choose User Management, then Users & Groups. The User/Group
Management window appears.
2. Select the user profile you want to modify from the drop‐down list
in the Existing Users field.
3. If you want to use the userʹs password as their Encryption Phrase
leave the box marked Use Password as Encryption Phrase checked
(or check the box if it is unchecked).

Appendix D: Using SNMP
4. If you want to specify a different encryption phrase, uncheck this
box, type the new phrase in the SNMP v3 Encryption Phrase field,
then type it again in the Confirm SNMP v3 Encryption Phrase field.
5. Click Modify. The user is now setup for encrypted SNMP v3
communication.
Configuring SNMP Traps
Dominion PX automatically keeps an internal log of events that occur
(refer to Setting Up Event Logging under the Using the Web interface
chapter). These events can also be used to send SNMP traps to a third
party manager.
To configure Dominion PX to send SNMP traps:
1. Choose Device Settings ‐‐> Event Log. The Event Log Settings
window appears. The SNMP Logging panel controls the use of
SNMP traps.
2. Click the checkbox labeled SNMP Logging Enabled.
3. Type an IP address in the Destination IP field. This is the address to
which traps are sent by the SNMP system agent.
4. Type the name of the SNMP community in the Community field.
The community is the group representing the Dominion PX and all
SNMP management stations.
5. To take a look at the Management Information Base (MIB), click the
link labeled Click here to view the (<device name>) SNMP MIB. It
is located under the Community field.

SNMP Gets and Sets
6. When SNMP logging is enabled, seven event types appear in the
Event Log Assignments panel to the right. All are disabled by
default. To enable any of these event types, check the appropriate
checkboxes.
7. Click Apply. SNMP logging is configured.
Note: You should re‐download the Dominion PX MIB after updating the
unitʹs firmware. This will ensure your SNMP manager has the correct
MIB for the release you are using.
SNMP Gets and Sets
In addition to sending traps, Dominion PX is able to receive SNMP get
and set requests from third‐party SNMP managers. Get requests can be
used to retrieve information about the Dominion PX (such as the system
location, or the current on a specific outlet). Set requests can be used to
configure a subset of this information (such as the SNMP system name).
Valid objects for these requests are limited to those found in the SNMP
MIBII System Group and the custom Dominion PX MIB.

Appendix D: Using SNMP
The Dominion PX MIB
This MIB is available from the SNMP Settings page, the Event Logging
page, or by pointing your browser to http://<ip-
address>/MIB.txt, where <ip-address>is the IP address of your
Dominion PX.
Layout
Opening the MIB will reveal the custom objects that describe the
Dominion PX system at the unit‐level as well as at the individual‐outlet‐
level. As standard, these objects are first presented at the beginning of
the file, listed under their parent group. The objects then appear again
individually, defined and described in detail.
137
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
SNMP Gets and Sets
For example, the unitSensorsGroup group contains objects for sensor
readings of the Dominion PX as a whole. One object listed under this
group, unitCurrent, is described later in the MIB as ʺThe value for the
unitʹs current sensor in millampsʺ‐‐the measure of the current drawn by
Dominion PX. outletCurrent, part of the outletsGroup group describes
the current passing through a specific outlet.
NOTE: When performing an SNMP get, all current values are measured
in milliamps (ma). HOWEVER: when performing an SNMP set, all are
measured in amps (A).
SNMP Sets and Thresholds
Several of these objects can be configured from the SNMP manager using
SNMP set commands. Objects that can be written to will have a MAX‐
ACCESS level of ʺread‐writeʺ in the MIB. These objects include
threshold objects, cause Dominion PX to provide a warning (and send an
SNMP trap) when certain parameters are exceeded. Refer to the Setting
up Outlets and Power Thresholds section in the Using the Web
Interface chapter for a description of how thresholds work.

Event Commands
The Event commands allow you to send pre‐defined events to a
Management Controller.
<predefined event number>
Sends a pre‐defined event to the System Event Log. The Currently
supported values for are:
•
•
•
Temperature: Upper Critical: Going High
Voltage Threshold: Lower Critical: Going Low
Memory: Correctable ECC Error Detected
Note: These pre‐defined events will likely not produce ʺaccurateʺ SEL
records for a particular system because they will not be correctly tied to a
valid sensor number, but they are sufficient to verify correct operation of
the SEL.
Example
$ ipmitool -I lan -H allen-dpxpcr20-20 -U admin -P
raritan1 event 1

Event Log. The format of each line in the file is as follows:
<{EvM Revision} {Sensor Type} {Sensor Num} {Event Dir/Type} {Event Data
0} {Event Data 1} {Event Data 2}>[# COMMENT]
Note: The Event Dir/Type field is encoded with the event direction as the
high bit (bit 7) and the event type as the low 7 bits.
Example

Set Receptacle ACL
ACLs define who is authorized to change the state of a receptacle. ACLs
will be stored for each individual outlet. A single ACL entry defines
whether a certain user id or privilege level is allowed or denied to issue
control commands for the outlet. ACL will be evaluated top to bottom,
hence order of ACL entries is important. If there is no ACL entry at all,
receptacle ACLs are disabled, i.e. any user id has access.
