If you have not updated your Switched or Smart PDU firmware to version 6.0g, here are some features you may be missing.
RADIUS Support
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting service. The Smart and Switched PDU firmware supports the authentication and authorization features of RADIUS. See release notes for details.User-defined session timeout periods
Allows users with administrative access rights to adjust the session timeouts for both the web and command-line interfaces. This is particularly useful when the PDU needs to be accessed frequently throughout the day. The default timeout period is five minutes. Now admins can adjust the timeout period between one and 1440 minutes.Input Current Measurement Resolution Update
For products that previously reported current (amp) in 0.25 A increments, this update increases the resolution to 0.125 A increments. For products that reported in 0.50 A increments, now report in 0.25 A increments. This update provides support for Server Technology's new Digital TRMS input current measurement hardware that provides 0.01 A resolution with better than 2% accuracy.Updates SSH Authentication Methods
Allows admin to individually enable and disable the support SSH authentication methods (password and keyboard-interactive).New Smart Web GUI and other features
Upgrading the firmware from v5.3x to v6.0x provides the user with a refreshed web GUI. Those that are familiar with the Server Technology Switched PDU interface will find many similarities. Additionally, the Smart v6.0x firmware will provide the ability to poll a supported networked UPS for voltage for a more accurate power (watt) calculation and a watts per area calculation.
