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 n ewly created PDU will by default be “Outlet 1” and “Outlet 2.” When

you connect a partic ular Managed Device (t hat draws power from th e outlet), then the out let 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
