Connect a 3rd-party device to the Connect IT serial port and the power controller

The final step is to complete the connection between the power controller, the Connect IT, and the 3rd-party device that you want to manage from the Connect IT.

In this example, you configured outlet 1 for use with serial port 5 on the Connect IT.

1. Make sure the power controller is connected to the correct serial port on the Connect IT. See Connect a power controller to the Connect IT serial port.
2. Connect one end of a serial cable to the serial port on the Connect IT that is configured to communicate with a 3rd-party device plugged into the power controller. In this example, serial port 5 is configured to communicate.
3. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the 3rd-party device.
4. Connect a power cable to the 3rd-party device.
5. Plug the other end of the power cable into an outlet on the power controller that is configured to communicate with a serial port on the Connect IT. In this example, outlet 1 is configured to communicate with serial port 5.
