I have the following:
- We have a few APC 7920 PDU's
- Using POWER IQ to control the PDS's via SNMP 1/2
- Using also Mobile Power IQ to control the PDU if need via iPad/iPhone
I am in the process of testing a few scenarios. One which has be stumped me a little.
- Outlet 1 is on, Outlet 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 is off
- Power IQ recognizes this
- Turn off the power to the PDU
- Wait 2 minutes
- Turn on the power to the PDU
- All the outlets are in a state of ON
My question(s),
- Is it possible to preserver the state of the PDU's outlets after coming back online
- Is it possible to execute a pre-configured state after coming back online
Thanks

I only had my hands on the larger 7950 models, but I think the logic should apply to all APC switched PDUs.
You can configure each outlet to either power on immediately when power is restored, power up with a delay of up to 7200 seconds or not power up at all:
This is how you get a "preconfigured state" working. I never found anything to have reload the "previous state" - i believe the current state never is stored on any kind of persistent storage.
