Configure Remote Power Management

The remote power management feature allows you to control the power to the outlets on a power controller using serial or network interfaces. This means that you can turn a 3rd-party device plugged into that outlet on and off.

Configure communication between the Connect IT, power controller, and a device

Configure the Connect IT to communicate with a power controller from either a serial port or through your network. As an optional part of this configuration, you may also configure the outlets on the power controller to communicate with a specific serial port on the Connect IT.

You can then complete the connection between the Connect IT, power controller, and the device you want to communicate with:

Create an access control to specify which users can access which outlets

You can create an access control group that enables a set of users to control a power outlet from inside a terminal session.

Create an access control group for power management and assign to users

Manage power to the power controller outlets

You can manage the power to an individual outlet on the power controller from the web UI or a terminal.
