Operation

The PN0108 Main Screen

After you have successfully logged in, the PN0108 Main Screen appears:

Š

When you first start up, the 

Power Status & Control

 screen of the First 

Station appears in the large central panel. The power management 
operations for the devices attached to the Station's outlets are made here.

Š

The bar along the left side is used to configure and control each of the 
PN0108 Stations on your installation. Regular users manage the devices 
they have permission for with the Device Selector and the Status button. 
The other buttons in this bar are for the administrator. Administrator 
functions are discussed in Chapter 5.
