摘要： An SNMP network comprises a power manager with an SNMP agent in TCP/IP communication over a network with an SNMP network manager. The power manager is connected to control several intelligent power modules each able to independently control the power on/off status of several network appliances. Power-on and load sensors within each intelligent power module are able to report the power status of each network appliance to the SNMP network manager with MIB variables in response to GET commands. Each intelligent power module is equipped with an output that is connected to cause an interrupt signal to the network appliance being controlled. The SNMP network manager is able to test which network appliance is actually responding before any cycling of the power to the corresponding appliance is tried.

摘要： An electrical apparatus has an elongated housing with fuses located therein. Windows are provided in the housing to close apertures in registration with fuse locations to allow access to fuses by removing the window. Fuses may be carried on a circuit card removably engageable with a terminal block secured to a wall within the housing. A fuse compartment cover is removably secured to the housing. The window comprises a fuse condition indicator to allow determination of the condition of the fuse (i.e. blown or not blown) without having to open the window. Additionally, powered indicators such as LEDs visible through the windows may indicate the state of fuses. The housing may comprise a power distribution unit and may be rack mounted or mounted to a wall of a rack assembly. The windows are located on the housing to be removable free of engagement with the assembly. In various embodiments, the windows may be included in a different one of the walls so that the windows will be unobstructed when the housing is in one of a number of orientations. The fuse compartment may be opened without removing the unit from the rack.

摘要： A battery-power distribution unit comprises two printed circuit assembly bus units that carry eight pairs of ± screw terminal connections and their associated GMT-type fuses. Each A-side and B-side bus unit needs only one pair of heavy cables that feed it power inside a RETMA-rack cabinet. Heavy-duty foil buses etched on the printed circuit boards on both sides are reinforced with tinned copper flat bar to increase the current carrying capacity.

摘要： A SNMP network comprises a power manager with a SNMP agent in TCP/IP communication over a network with a SNMP network manager. The power manager is connected to control several intelligent power modules each able to independently control the on/off power to several inter-networking devices in an equipment rack at a common remote node, e.g., a point-of-presence site. Power-on and load sensors within each intelligent power module are able to report the power status of each inter-networking device to the SNMP network manager with MIB variables in response to GET commands. The SNMP network manager is further able to reboot each inter-networking device by cycling the power on/off to its respective intelligent power module with the SET command provided in conventional SNMP management applications.
