DPoE
™
ELEMENT MANAGER SOFTWARE
The
DPoE™
Element Manager software is used to remotely control, configure and monitor a
DPoE™
Power Patch Panel within a network. Once installed on a shared or dedicated Windows-based Personal
Computer (PC), the
DPoE™
Element Manager can be used to manage an entire network of
DPoE™
devices. The
DPoE™
Element Manager is on a CD-ROM included with the
DPoE™
Power Patch Panel.
NOTE:
The
DPoE™
Power Patch Panel does not require the
DPoE™
Element Manager
software to operate. Installed power patch panels will source PoE power without the
software. Software provides an optional enhanced level of remote management,
monitoring and maintenance for a single device or an entire network of
DPoE™
devices. (Latest updates at
