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.
- Serial port: Configure the Connect IT to connect to a power controller using a serial port
- Network: Configure the Connect IT to connect to a power controller using the network
You can then complete the connection between the Connect IT, power controller, and the device you want to communicate with:
- Connect the power controller to the Connect IT using a serial port or to a network port.
- Connect a 3rd-party device to a configured serial port on the Connect IT.
- Plug the 3rd-party device into the outlet on the power controller that corresponds to the serial port on the Connect IT.
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.
