Introduction
Overview
The EC1000 / EC2004 Energy Box solution is the latest evolution of ATEN's
energy intelligence product line NRGence™. The EC1000 monitors the
electrical current of 4 Energy PDU's, along with room temperature, humidity,
and differential pressure using environmental sensors. The EC2004 has 4 ports
to monitor the electrical current of two PDUs and the electrical current +
voltage of two additional PDUs; and monitors room temperature, humidity and
differential pressure using four environmental sensors, plus a 4-pin dry contact
Rack Door Sensor port for external sensors to monitor rack door access. Both
Energy Boxes provide 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 / EC2004 Energy Box has four RJ-45 ports to connect to four
Energy PDUs and four RJ-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 / EC2004 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, voltage*, 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's eco Sensors software.
Remote monitoring offers secure access with 128bits SSL encryption, and
customizable account policies for user management. Remote authentication
supports RADIUS and additional management interfaces including HTTP,
HTTPS, and SNMPv1&v2&v3 (Read, Write, Trap). Event notifications can be
monitored via Syslog/SMTP/SNMP trap and by audible alarm for real-time
local and remote alerting.
