Configuration Scenarios Using Digi RPM

88 Chapter 9 Digi Remote Power Manager (Digi RPM)

Configuration Scenarios Using Digi RPM

There are two typical scenarios when using Digi RPM and the power

management feature with PortServer TS Family products:

• A non-serial device connected to Digi RPM

• A serial device managed by a PortServer TS device, but powered by

Digi RPM

Non-Serial Device Connected to Digi RPM

The simplest scenario is a non-serial device connected to the Digi RPM; for

example, an environmental sensor controller or a tape backup device. The

Digi RPM’s power-management settings are configured and accessed

through the Web user interface for the PortServer TS device to which it is

connected. This illustration shows a Digi RPM configured through a

PortServer TS 16 for use in powering non-serial devices.
