RT-iX9-PDU-CTR - Raritan - iX9 Controller card (RT-201-47-0015-00) PDU Controller, with Dual Networking, Power Share, USB and Ethernet Mix, & Xerus Platform (Fitted and supplied to most Raritan PX4 Range PDU's)

Raritan IX9 Controller - for PX4 Intelligent PDUs

Description:
- Empowering your PX4 intelligent PDU, Xerus™ is a state-of-the-art technology platform, leveraging both a proprietary firmware stack, and a physical circuit layer board, owned by Raritan.

- Xerus Technology Platform future-proofs your PX 4 intelligent PDU with the most powerful embedded compute, along with a battle-tested firmware counting millions of hours of uptime across all Raritan power products.

- With Xerus open firmware architecture, you will be able to leverage your PX capabilities in all programming languages and scripting methods to develop your own data center applications!

iX9™ Dual Networking

- Dual Network Access
The new iX9 controller allows you to connect to your PX4 from two distinct networks, you can determine user access and permissions and configure both net works separately.

- You can give access to your colocation provider, any third party, or use it as a network backup!

Features:
1. Control Buttons navigate the LCD’s menu options locally.
2. Multi-Color LCD provides an easy-to-read screen, including information on power usage, outlet status, and critical alerts.
3. Reset is a recessed button that restarts the device's firmware without interrupting power or affecting outlet status.
4. Dual Network Gigabit 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports enable connectivity to network infrastructure. Physically cascade or daisy chain 32 PDUs under one ethernet port using the bridging mode or save IP addresses using a single IP address with port forwarding. For more efficient management and control of your devices, use the Link feature for logical connectivity of up to 8 PDUs.
5. Dual USB-A Ports enable simultaneous connectivity to mobile interfaces, rapid configurations, mass firmware updates, and serial console access.
6. USB-B Port generates diagnostic logs.
7. PDU Link Port allows the physical linking of 2 PDUs where the Primary unit has the power information from the Link unit. Ensures redundant power for the main Controller for both units, even if the Primary unit loses power.
8. Sensor Port supports the plug-and-play deployment of Legrand® SmartSensors™, the SmartLock™ System, and Asset Management sensors.

Memory: 32MB SPI NOR Flash, 256MB DDR3 RAM
Size: 192mm x 36mm

Onboard Display:

HOT-SWAPPABLE, FIELD-REPLACEABLE CONTROLLER
100% field-replaceable while hot, no loose screws, finger-safe replacement in the unlikely event of an outage.
Navigation Buttons: Not specified

Interface & Connectivity Ports:

2 x 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Ethernet (green and white)
2 x USB-A ports
1 x USB-B port
1 x Sensor port (yellow)
1 x PDU Link port (gray)

KVM / Console / Serial Support:

Connection to a Power CIM peer is through an external USB dongle (DSER-PWR-USB-G4 or DKX3-PWR-USB-G4) and a USB-A port.
USB-B is available for direct CLI connection.
For Serial/CLI applications over RJ45, an external DSER-CLI-USB-G4 dongle is needed.

Power Sharing:
Using the PDU Link Port with a standard Cat5 connection, provides active redundant power to a second like-designed and versioned PDU controller, maintaining sensor connection and network visibility in case of an outage.

PDU Linking:
Linking via PDU Link Port; logical connectivity of devices in the same rack/cabinet.
Can link a single Primary PDU with multiple Link PDUs for more efficient power management.
Includes the ability to power share across linked units.

Cascading:
Physically cascade 32 PDUs under one Ethernet port or 16 PDUs with USB using bridging mode.
Optionally save IP addresses by using a single IP with port forwarding.

Wi-Fi Support:
Supported through DX2-WIFI-KIT (USB Wi-Fi antenna connects USB-A to Wi-Fi).
