:
Access and control authorized devices.
View serial port logs and host logs for those devices.
Use SDT Connector or the Web terminal to access serially attached consoles.

13.1 Device Management
To display the Managed Devices and their associated serial, network, and power connections:
Select
Manage: Devices.
The
Administrator
will be presented with a list of all configured Managed Devices,
whereas the
User
will only see the Managed Devices they (or their Group) has been given access privileges for.
Select
Serial Network
or
Power
for a view of the specific connections. The user can then take a range of actions
using these serial, network or power connections by selecting the
Action
icon or the related Manage menu item.
(For example, selecting the
Manager Power
icon [or
Manage: Power
from the menu] would enable the user to
power Off/On/Cycle any power outlet on any PDU the user has been given access privileges to [refer to
