Select the connection type for the new connection (Serial, Network Host, UPS, or RPC) and then
select the specific connection from the presented list of configured unallocated
hosts/ports/outlets.
To add a new network-‐connected Managed Device:
The
Administrator
adds a new network-‐connected Managed Device using
Add Host
on the
Serial
& Network: Network Host
menu. This automatically creates a corresponding new Managed
Device (as covered in
Section 4.4—Network Hosts).
When adding a new network-‐connected RPC or UPS power device, you set up a Network Host,
designate it as RPC or UPS, then go to
RPC Connections
(or
UPS Connections
) to configure the
relevant connection. A corresponding new Managed Device (with the same Name /Description
as the RPC/UPS Host) is not created until you complete this connection step (refer
Chapter 8—
Power and Environment).
Note
The outlet names on this newly created PDU will by default be “Outlet 1” and “Outlet 2.” When
you connect a particular Managed Device (that draws power from the outlet), then the outlet will
take the powered Managed Device’s name.
To add a new serially connected Managed Device:
Configure the serial port using the
Serial & Network: Serial Port
menu (refer to
Section 4.1—
Configure Serial Port).
Select
Serial & Network: Managed Devices
and click
Add Device
.
Enter a
Device Name
and
Description
for the Managed Device.
Click
Add Connection
and select
Serial
and the
Port
that connects to the Managed Device.
To add a UPS/RPC power connection or network connection
or another serial connection, click
Add Connection.
Click
Apply.
