Introduction

The EnGenius PDU (ECP series) is an intelligent Power Distribution Unit designed to provide reliable power management solutions for modern enterprise IT infrastructures. It not only offers efficient power distribution but also integrates remote monitoring and control capabilities, helping businesses enhance the intelligence, visibility and safety of their power management.

Key Features:

1. Smart Power Management:

The EnGenius PDU can be managed through the EnGenius Cloud Platform, allowing users to remotely manage and monitor power status. Administrators can view power consumption and control the on/off status of each outlet remotely via a web interface (EnGenius Cloud) or mobile app (Cloud to Go).

2. Detailed PDU Status & Power Data Statistics:

PDUs provide monitoring of each outlet's power usage, including parameters such as current, voltage, and historical power consumption, helping businesses optimize energy usage.

3.Smart Energy Monitoring with Alerts​

Set safe amperage ranges for selected outlets and receive email alerts or notifications through the EnGenius Cloud App when power spikes beyond your range. Stay informed and ensure safety by proactively managing power thresholds​.

4. Automatically Troubleshooting

The PDU utilizes the AutoReboot feature to continuously monitor network connections by pinging reliable hostnames. If a connection is lost, it will automatically reboot the relevant outlet, which helps devices recover from issues without manual intervention, thereby enhancing system stability and reliability. This reduces device downtime and improves system recovery efficiency.

6.Group Configuration of PDUs

With the PDU Template functionality, users can easily apply the same outlet configuration across all PDUs of the same model, significantly reducing the time and effort required for individual configuration. This streamlined process enhances operational efficiency and ensures consistency across devices.

7.Flexible PDU Scheduling

Provide a more flexible schedule configuration, allowing users to adjust the specific days of the week for each outlet according to environmental needs to set up to three available time slots.

8. Safeguard your critical infrastructure

Shield your systems from power surges and overload occurrences with built-in Fireproof MOV modules, a 15A circuit breaker, and UL-1449-certified professional-grade surge protection hardware , ensuring uninterrupted operation and peace of mind.​

9. Flexible Deployment Options:

The EnGenius PDU offers various socket configurations and size choices, making it suitable for rack installations of different scales . Whether for small network devices or large data centers, it can be easily integrated and managed for power distribution.

Monitoring and Configuring the PDU on EnGenius Cloud

The following will guide you on how to monitor the PDU's outlet status, power, current history, and power consumption, as well as how to set up and enable Auto Troubleshooting, Group Configuration of PDUs, Flexible PDU Scheduling, and Smart Energy Monitoring with Alerts.
