Configuration

DHCP
4.1
After turning on, the unit looks for a DHCP server on the Ethernet and requests an available IP address. Check in the settings
of the DHCP server which IP address was assigned, and if necessary set, that the same IP address will be used each time.
To disable DHCP, you can use the software GBL_Conf.exe or adjust the configuration via the web interface.
Network settings with GBL_Conf
4.2
For changing the network properties manually, the program GBL_Conf.exe is required. This tool is available for free on our
website www.gude.info.
Furthermore GBL_Conf.exe enables you to install firmware updates and to reset to factory settings.
Activate bootloader mode and run GBL_Conf.exe. The program will look automatically for connected devices and will display
their network configuration.
If the displayed IP address accords with the factory settings (192.168.0.2), there is either no DHCP server available in the
network or no free IP address could be allocated.
Enter a free IP address and the according netmask in the entry mask, then save these changes by clicking on Program Devi-
ce -> SaveConfig.
Restart the firmware, so that the changes will take effect. Now click on Search in order to have the new network configuration
displayed.

For the changes to get valid a restart of the firmware is required.
Use DHCP4.3.1.5
Here you can set, if the unit shall get its TCP/IP settings directly from your DHCP server. Then the device requests an IP-
Adress, Netmask and a standard Gateway from this server. If there is no DHCP server inside of your network, we recom-
mend to deactivate this function.
For the changes to get valid a restart of the firmware is required.
Configuration - IP ACL
4.3.2
IP Access Control List (IP ACL) acts as an IP filter. Wether it is active hosts and subnets only can contact the unit, if their IP
addresses are stated in this IP ACL.
e.g.: „http://192.168.0.1“ or „http://192.168.0.1/24“
If you locked yourself out by mistake, please activate the bootloader mode, start Gbl_Conf.exe and deactivate IP ACL.
You can find more information about configuration of IP ACL or have a look at http://www.gude.info/wiki.
Reply ICMP-Ping requests4.3.2.1
Here you can set, if the device shall react on pings.

Enable IP Filter4.3.2.2
Here you can activate the IP Access Control List (IP ACL).
If IP ACL is active, DHCP and SNMP only work, if all necessary servers and clients are registered in this list.
Configuration - HTTP
4.3.3
HTTP Port4.3.3.1
Here you can enter the HTTP port number, if necessary. Possible numbers are 1 ... 65534 (standard: 80). To get access, you
have to enter the port number after the IP address of the device, e.g.: http://192.168.0.2:1720
For the changes to get valid a restart of the firmware is required.
Require HTTP Password4.3.3.2
Password protected access can be activated here. In this case, a user and an admin password have to be defined. Pass-
words have a maximum lengths of 15 characters.
Administrators are authorized to modify the settings. The username of the admin is “admin”.
Users are authorized to login, but are not allowed to modify the settings. The username of the user is “user”.
If you have forgotten your password, activate the bootloader mode, start GBL-Conf.exe and deactivate the password request.
For the changes to get valid a restart of the firmware is required.
Check Password on start page4.3.3.3
If activated, the user has to enter his password, before logging in to the webinterface.

4.3.4
Generate Messages4.3.4.1
Here you can configure if and at which Min-/Max-values the device shall send alerts via SNMP-Traps, Syslog or Email.
Peak measurement period4.3.4.2
Here, you can enter the time over which the peak values of the sensors shall be displayed: 30 minutes up to 24 hours.
Hysteresis4.3.4.3
Here you can specify a threshold that is reached after crossing a threshold in order to signal that falls below the threshold.
example:
Limit 10 ° C
Action: Output alarm
threshold 1
If the value of 11 ° C is reached, the alarm is reset. Without the threshold would be for small fluctuations of 0.1 ° C respective-
ly, a new alarm is issued, or initiate a command.
Limit 10 °
Action: trigger alarm
threshold 0
Temperature 10 ° C.
Alarm is triggered.
Temperature 10.1 ° C
Alarm is reset
9.9 ° C temperature alarm is triggered
etc.

Expert PDU energy 8310 Configuration
Configuration - SNMP
4.3.5
SNMP4.3.5.1
To get detailed status information of the device SNMP can be used. SNMP communicates via UDP (port 161):
Supported SNMP commands:
- SNMPGET: request status information
- SNMPGETNEXT: request the next status information
- SNMPSET: request change of status
You will need a Network Management System, e.g. HP-Open View, OpenNMS, Nagios etc., or the command line tools of
NET-SNMP to request information via SNMP.
4.3.5.1.1 SNMP-communities
SNMP authentifies requests by so called communities.
The public community has to be added to SNMP-read-requests and the private community to SNMP write requests. You can
see the SNMP communites like read/write passwords. SNMP v1 and v2 transmit the communities without encryption. There-
fore it is simple to spy out these communities. We recommend to use a DMZ or IP ACL.
4.3.5.1.2 MIB
All information, that can be requested or changed, the so called „Managed Objects“, are described in „Management Informati-
on Bases“ (MIBs).
There are three MIBs, which can be requested from the unit:
„system“, „interface“
„system“ and „interface“ are standardized MIBs (MIB-II).
At least, there are so called Object Identifiers (OID) subordinated to those three structures. An OID describes the location of
an information inside a MIB.
4.3.5.1.3 SNMP-traps
SNMP-Traps are system messages, sent via SNMP-protocol to different clients. On following events a SNMP-Trap will be
dispatched:
Min/Max-Alerts from the sensors
You can find more information about configuration of SNMP at http://www.gude.info/wiki.

Community private4.3.5.5
Here you can enter the SNMP private community.
Download SNMP MIB4.3.5.6
Here you can download the MIB.
Configuration - Syslog
4.3.6
Syslog messages are simple text messages transmitted to a syslog server using UDP.
Linux OS regularly have a syslog daemon installed, e.g. syslog-ng. For Windows there are some freeware tools available.
On following events a syslog message will be send:
- Booting up
- Activation/deactivation of syslog
- sensor alarm
You can find more information about configuration of Syslog in chapter Configuration - Syslog or have a look at http://
www.gude.info/wiki.

Expert PDU energy 8310 Configuration
Email4.3.7.9
Email messages are generated when the current exceeds or falls below a given limit. Refer to chapter "Configuration - Sen-
sors".
Currently, only SMTP servers are supported, that are offering no authentication (open-relay) or unencrypted authentication
(PLAIN). An encrypted authentication to the SMTP server is not possible.
One way to learn whether the desired SMTP server understands the PLAIN authentication, is to enter the string "EHLO local-
host" in telnet. Here's an example:
$ telnet smtp.1und1.com 25
Trying 212.227.15.129...
Connected to smtp.1und1.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

Bootloader mode
5.1
To activate the boot loader mode, hold the "select" button down and plug the unit into a power grid.
To ensure that the device is in bootloader mode, you can see in the GBL_Conf.exe program window the word "BOOT LDR"
after the device's name, and the device status LED is slow the blinking.
In bootloader mode you can disable the password and IP ACL, it is possible to use the program GBL_Conf.exe to perform a
firmware update and factory settings can be restored. To exit the boot loader mode again, restart the device without pressing
the button.
Alternatively, you can leave the boot loader mode by selecting the GBL_Conf menu Device -> Enter firmware.
Firmware update
5.2
In order to update the firmware the program GBL_Conf.exe and the latest firmware are needed.
