AP9225 power failure scenario

[Anonymous user]

Guys

I have an AP9225 and AP9606. In the event of a power failure, I want all the devices that were previously turned on (ports 1,2,3) to come back on but this does not happen and I can't find any configurable option. Is the 9225 capable of this? I don't mind upgrading to another management card

9225 - v2.0.5.a
9606 - v2.5.8.b

Thanks

i believe this is a masterswitch plus - can you confirm you see see an AOS and then an file named ms?

if you are logged into the device, on the left hand side, do you see the option for Masterswitch->Outlet config? this is where you'd configure the power on/off/reboot delays. if some outlets are always off, you can set the power on delay to never for example so if the device is powercycled, the outlet will still never turn on. essentially, the configuration for what you want to do is under this Masterswitch->Outlet config menu.

hmm ok. i was checking an AP9211 which is the only item i had to reference. i dont have an AP9225 available to walk through. my masterswitch isnt a plus. i'd look under outlets. i found some release notes that say:

Date: 11/1/1999
Problem: A value of "Remain Off" can not be entered for the outlet property "Power On Delay" via the Web interface.
Symptoms: The message "Data Entry Error: Power On Delay invalid or out of range (0 - 2:46:39)" is received when a value of "Remain Off" is applied to an outlet's "Power On Delay" property.
Resolution: v2.0.0.

this makes me thing that under outlets there is an option to set power on and power off delays some place in this UI. the masterswitch plus stuff deals with the serial ports on the unit. let's focus under "outlets" on the web UI - top left option.

Anybody else got the same unit as mine? I can't find any relevant options

hmm i just edited my previous post since it cut off some relevant stuff. can you show me what you see under Outlets on the top left option?

are you referring to the attached image? What should I change the value to?

[BillP]

hm no, see my screenshot, i want to see what you get when you click and expand on what i circled.

Ok, see attached. I expanded on one drop-down and other drop-down menus look the same too

[BillP]

ok, what i think you're looking for is 'last state' functionality which we don't have, not even on our new stuff. the only option is going to be to set certain outlets to never turn on or always turn on but if you frequently turn stuff on and off for long durations of time, this may not be ideal. i think it is now on our roadmap for our next generation PDUs but we only have what you see on this screen to set certain outlets and their power on state to never or immediate for after the PDU gets powercycled.

hope that helps 😞 but i know its not exactly what you need.

Yup exactly - if an outlet was on before a power failure, it should be set to on. Same thing for an off situation

Thanks for all your help on this though!

I've attached both the output of the About System as well as screenshot. From what you asked me but I don't see an option to set Power on delay to NEVER
