Process for Configuring and Managing Digi RPM
From the Web user interface, configuring and managing the Digi RPM
involves these steps:
1. Connect the Digi RPM to the PortServer TS device and power up.
2. Configure Digi RPM settings, including optional thresholds and alarms.
3. Configure outlets on the Digi RPM, including user access permissions
to the outlets.
4. Manage power devices and power controllers.
• Manage power devices: view status of outlets and change status as
needed (on, off, reboot).
• Manage power controllers: manage individual outlets or all outlets,
view current settings in the Digi RPM, including current voltage and
temperature status.
Connect the Digi RPM to the PortServer TS Device and Power Up
To connect the Digi RPM to your PortServer TS device, use the PortServer
TS to SunNetra (P/N 63000222-02) cable provided with the Digi RPM unit.
Plug one side into the “Console” port of the Digi RPM unit and the other
into any port of the PortServer TS product.
Make sure that the DIP switches of the unit are set to “Off.” Plug the Digi
RPM into an appropriate power source and turn it on.
Configure Digi RPM Settings
A Power Management port profile is available for use to configure your Digi
PortServer device and its serial ports for use with the Digi RPM. This port
profile is used to control and manage the Digi RPM in its power-control
actions (on, off, reboot).
1. Log in to the Digi PortServer TS unit (username root, password dbps).
2. Select Configuration > Serial ports.
3. Select the port number of the serial port you want to connect to the Digi
RPM.
4. The Power Management port profile has configuration settings
appropriate for a serial port connected to a Digi RPM power controller. If
the Power Management port profile has not already been associated
with the port through the Digi Device Setup Wizard, click
Change Profile. Select Power Management from the list of port
profiles and click Apply.
