• 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 5.4—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 Management).
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 5.1—Configure Serial Port).
• Select Serial & Network: Managed Devices and click Add Device.
• Enter a Device Name and Description for the Managed Device.
Figure 5-21. Add a new device screen.
• 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.
NOTE: To set up a new serially connected RPC UPS or EMD device, configure the serial port, designate it as a Device, then enter a Name and
Description for that device in the Serial & Network: RPC Connections (or UPS Connections or Environmental). When applied, this will
automatically create a corresponding new Managed Device with the same Name /Description as the RPC/UPS Host (refer to Chapter 8—
Power Management).
All the outlet names on the 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 name of the powered Managed Device.
