Enabling Data Retrieval
The data retrieval feature allows the retrieval of the Dominion PX data by
an SNMP manager, such as the data of PDU, outlet, line, and circuit
breaker. When enabled, the Dominion PX measures all sensor data at
regular intervals and stores these data samples for access over SNMP.
The Dominion PX stores up to the last 120 measurements (samples) in the
data log buffer.
Configuring the delay between samples adjusts how often the sample
measurements are made and stored for retrieval. The default delay is 300
seconds. Delays must be entered as multiples of 3 seconds.
The Dominion PX's SNMP agent must be enabled for this feature to work.
See
Enabling SNMP
(on page 162) for more details. In addition, using an
NTP time server ensures accurately time-stamped measurements.
Note: By default, Data Retrieval is disabled. Users belonging to the Admin
user group can enable or disable this feature.
To configure the data sample delay:
1. Choose Device Settings > PDU Setup. The PDU Setup page opens.
2. By default, Data Retrieval is disabled. Select the Enable Data
Retrieval checkbox, and the Sampling Period field becomes
configurable.
3. Type a number in the Sampling Period field, indicating how often (in
seconds) the Dominion PX stores data samples. Values in this field
are restricted to multiples of 3 seconds, ranging from 3 to 600 seconds
(10 minutes).
