POWER & ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Introduction

The B092-016 Console Server and B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switch products embed software that can be used to manage connected Power Distribution Systems (PDU’s), IPMI devices and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS’s) supplied by a number of vendors, and some the environmental monitoring devices. B092-016 Console Server with PowerAlert also embeds Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert software.

8.1Remote Power Control (RPC)

The Console Server Management Console monitors and controls Remote Power Control (RPC) devices using the embedded PowerMan and NUT open source management tool. RPC’s include power distribution units (PDU’s) and IPMI power devices.

8.1.1 RPC connection

Serial and network connected RPC’s must first be connected to, and configured to communicate with, the Console Server:

For serial RPC’s, connect the PDU to the selected serial port on the Console Server. From the Serial and Network: Serial Port menu, configure the Common Settings of that port with the RS232 properties required by the PDU (refer to Chapter 4.1.1 Common Settings). Then select RPC as the Device Type

Similarly for each network connected RPC, go to Serial & Network: Network Hosts menu and configure the RPC as a connected Host

Select the Serial & Network: RPC Connections menu. This will display all the RPC connections that have already been configured
