Chapter 9 Digi Remote Power Manager (Digi RPM) 87
Digi Remote Power Manager (Digi RPM) is an intelligent power distribution
unit for remote power management that can be used with PortServer TS
Family products. When integrated with PortServer TS products, Digi RPM
allows power management and device configuration from anywhere across
the corporate LAN/WAN. It provides an easy solution for the supervisory
control and management of attached electrical devices.
A Digi RPM integrated with your PortServer TS product can be used to:
• Remotely power on/off/reboot devices. Power control consists of three
basic functions: on, off, and reboot (power cycle).
• Measure electrical load and monitor ambient temperature.
• Configure alarms for 24/7 “real-time” monitoring and notification of
out-of-spec conditions, including load and ambient temperature. A user
interface is provided for configuring these alarms. Digi RPM also
provides statistics on average/apparent power, RMS voltage/current,
circuit breaker status and maximum current.
• Integrate with select PortServer TS terminal servers and device servers
for console and power management over Ethernet.
Digi RPM is available in both eight-port 1U rack-mountable and ten-port 0U
rack-mountable versions.
