However FYI before adding an RPC the Management Console GUI code makes sure that at least one port
has been configured to run in 'device mode', and that the device is set to 'rpc'.
To add an RPC with the following values:
RPC type APC 7900
Connected via Port 2
UPS name MyRPC
Description RPC in room 5
Login name for device rpclogin
Login password for device secret
SNMP community v1 or v2c
Logging Enabled
Log interval 600 second
Number of power outlets 4 (depends on the type/model of the RPC)
# config -s config.ports.port2.power.type=APC 7900
# config -s config.ports.port2.power.name=MyRPC
# config -s "config.ports.port2.power.description=RPC in room 5"
# config -s config.ports.port2.power.username=rpclogin
# config -s config.ports.port2.power.password=secret
# config -s config.ports.port2.power.snmp.community=v1
# config -s config.ports.port2.power.log.enabled=on
# config -s config.ports.port2.power.log.interval=600
# config -s config.ports.port2.power.outlets=4
The following five commands are used by the Management Console to add the RPC to “Managed
Devices”:
# config -s config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.name=myRPC
# config -s "config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.type=RPC Unit"
# config -s config.devices.device3.name=myRPC
# config -s "config.devices.device3.description=RPC in room 5"
# config -s config.devices.total=3
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -a
14.11 Environmental

# config -s config.ports.port3.enviro.name=Envi4
# config -s "config.ports.port3.enviro.description=Monitor in room 5"
