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 EX12, power controller, and a device
Configure the EX12 to communicate with a power controller from either a serial port or through your network.
- Serial port: Configure the EX12 to connect to a power controller using a serial port
- Network: Configure the EX12 to connect to a power controller using the network
You can then complete the connection between the EX12, power controller, and the device you want to communicate with:
- Connect the power controller to the EX12 using a serial port or to a network port.
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.
