Introduction
Overview
The EC1000 Energy Box solution is the latest evolution of ATEN’s energy
intelligence product line. The EC1000 monitors the electrical current of 4
Energy PDU's, along with room temperature, humidity, and differential
pressure using environmental sensors. The Energy Box provides instant real-
time power management and energy-saving control for data centers– allowing
you to upgrade and maintain your current IT power resources quickly and cost-
effectively.
The EC1000 Energy Box has four J-45 ports to connect to four Energy PDUs
and four J-11 ports to connect external sensors to monitor environmental
conditions. Each environmental sensor can provide measured readings of
temperature, humidity, and differential pressure from separate areas of a room,
giving you a wide range of monitoring and protection.
The EC1000 features real-time status, system logs, threshold alerts, and event
notification. The Energy Box logs power and environmental conditions
according to customizable minimum/maximum thresholds set for; current,
temperature, humidity, and differential pressure.
The Energy Box allows the power and environmental data to be monitored by
display at the rack or remotely for easy viewing and maintenance. The Energy
Box is a standalone unit with over IP monitoring that is controlled by a built-
in web GUI or ATEN eco DC (Energy & DCIM Management Web GUI).
emote monitoring offers secure access with 128bits SSL encryption, and
customizable account policies for user management. emote authentication
supports ADIUS and additional management interfaces including HTTP,
HTTPS, and SNMPv1&v2&v3 ( ead, Write, Trap). Event notifications can be
monitored via Syslog/SMTP/SNMP trap and by audible alarm for real-time
local and remote alerting.
The EC1000 Energy Box is the intelligent cost effective solution to monitor
ATEN's Energy PDUs – to ensure safe and effective energy-saving power
management.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Optional Accessories
Sensors
Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the EC1000 Energy Box without
sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of your
data center with the full use of the EC1000 Energy Box, you would need to use
eco DC (Energy & DCIM Management Web GUI) and install 4 sensors for
each of the racks to generate more complete energy-efficient data and charts.
Sensors help you maintain a safe and highly efficient data center by monitoring
environmental conditions. Higher sensor density installations help to generate
more accurate and precise data. Available sensors are show in the table, below:
Sensor Management
Sensors can be managed via the EC1000’s browser based graphical user
interface (GUI) or with ATEN eco DC that can be downloaded from the ATEN
website.
