Abstract
A method for controlling power distribution unit (PDU) by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) has steps of allowing logging in the UPS through a network, providing a web-based user interface and allowing adding an identification of at least one PDU to use sockets on the added PDU to simulate additional sockets on the UPS, performing a handshaking task with the added PDU, receiving information from the added PDU during performing of the handshaking task, displaying the received information of the added PDU on the web-based user interface and allowing either operating the UPS or controlling the added PDU. The method allows the UPS to be capable of communicating with all connected PDUs so the user can merely login the UPS to control and manage all PDUs connected to the UPS.
