NOTE:
If the computer running the
DPoE™
Element Manager is not in the subnet for the new
IP address and cannot communicate with it, you will receive a timeout message
similar to the one below:
In order to correct this you will need to place the computer in the appropriate subnet,
or correct the network settings of device to the proper setting. If you can no longer
communicate with the device, see the section on Device IP Address for instructions
on how to set the device to the default network settings. (Refer to
Panel IP Address
for more information.)
Occasionally, when retrieving information for the panel/power midspan, the
DPoE
™
Element Manager may show a message indicating an “SNMP Agent Error”. If this
occurs, retry the operation. If this repeats, it may be the indication of a slow network
or a large number of concurrent operations, in which case you may have to increase
the timeout setting of the
DPoE
™ Element Manager (located under the “Tools”
section of the application). If the panel/power midspan continues to fail to respond,
there may be a problem with the network connection itself.
The
DPoE
™ Element Manager reflects physical location information and power
status based on the last time this information was refreshed. In order to work with the
latest physical location information and power status, you should refresh the
panel/power midspan information using the Refresh icon on the Element Manager
before making any modifications.
When the IP address of the panel/power midspan is first assigned or is changed, you
may see the message “The IP address has changed. Do you want to commit this
(yes/no)?” when you are discovering the panel(s)/power midspan(s) in your network.
Please select “yes”. Once this change is committed, you will not see this message
again.
When using the
DPoE
™ Element Manager to change the network settings of the
panel/power midspan, and you go from DHCP to static or static to DHCP, you will
lose communication with the panel/power midspan until the panel/power midspan is
placed into a network that supports the new settings or your PC is placed into the new
subnet. This is expected behavior.
3. Using the Discover capability of the
DPoE™
Element Manager, search the subnet where the
DPoE™
Power Patch Panels have been installed.
4. When the
DPoE™
Power Patch Panels are discovered they will appear in a table as shown below:
