Switch and PDU
The switch and PDU are EnGenius devices. HiveRadar ships them wired and tested; for deeper settings, the EnGenius manuals are linked below.
What's installed
| Standard | Upgraded | |
|---|---|---|
| Switch | ECS2510FP: 8 × 2.5GbE RJ45 with PoE+, 2 × 10G SFP+, 240 W PoE budget | ECS5512FP: 8 × 10GbE RJ45 with PoE++, 4 × 10G SFP+, 420 W PoE budget |
| PDU | ECP106 (100-120 V) or ECP106-INT (200-240 V), 6 outlets, with display | Same |
The upgraded switch is cabled the same way; its ports 11-12 stay free. Every SFP+ port has a copper RJ45 transceiver (auto-negotiates up to 10G). Port maps: Ports and Addresses.
As shipped
- Logins changed by HiveRadar. They are on your Access & Configuration Sheet
- Management mode set to EnGenius Cloud or standalone, as ordered. The sheet says which
- Switch one flat network, all RJ45 ports with PoE on. When HiveRadar pre-installs StorMagic or NodeWeaver, the node data ports are also set to a tagged VLAN (802.1Q) trunk
- No other changes from the EnGenius defaults
Managing them
- EnGenius Cloud
- Standalone
- Log in to EnGenius Cloud. Your sheet lists the organization and network, and who was given access.
- From there you can see ports and outlets, switch outlets on and off, update firmware and change settings.
- The devices need internet to reach the cloud. If one shows offline, check the uplink.
HiveSight reads switch and PDU status from EnGenius Cloud, see HiveSight Setup.
- Open the device's local web page (see First Network Access) and log in with the login from your sheet.
- Use the menu on the left to change settings, switch PDU outlets and update firmware.
HiveSight can't show switch and PDU status for standalone devices yet. Local monitoring is in development.
Each device runs in one mode at a time. To change mode, follow the EnGenius manual.
PDU display
The display on the PDU shows usage at a glance, without a network.
- Upper button: next item, or the next outlet's usage. Long press to go back.
- Lower button: select. Long press for the Home page (total usage, watts, current).
- The PDU's IP address is in the display menu.
Factory reset
A factory reset puts the device back to EnGenius defaults. You lose HiveRadar's logins and, on pre-installed HCI units, the switch trunking, which the cluster needs. The PDU also cuts power to all outlets during its reset. Talk to your partner before resetting either one.
After a reset, the EnGenius default logins apply: switch admin / password, PDU admin / admin.
