You can also configure DSView 3 software security settings. When the PM PDU is managed

by the DSView 3 software, the DSView 3 server will supply the certificate to the PM PDU.

Under normal conditions, the DSView 3 software will manage the certificate to clear and

replace it with a new certificate as needed. If communication with the DSView 3 software is

lost, the DSView 3 server will be unable to clear the certificate and the PM PDU cannot be

used. Click the Clear DSView 3 Certificate button to configure the PM PDU in Trust All mode.

To configure DSView 3 software security settings:

1. Select System - Security - DSView 3.

2. Click the Allow appliance to be managed by DSView 3 checkbox and click Save.

Date and Time

The PM PDU provides two options for setting the date and time. It can retrieve the date and

time from a network time protocol (NTP) server, or you can set the date and time manually so

that the PM PDU’s internal clock is used to provide time and date information.

NOTE: The Current Time displayed in the Date & Time screen shows only the time when the screen was opened. It

does not continue to update in real time.
