Configuration Guidelines
With Power Xpert devices
(sophisticated, Web-
enabled, high-definition
communications) and a
simple Web browser,
users can interrogate single
devices directly, groups of
devices connected through
gateways, or connect
through software managing
multiple devices and
gateways. Using the Eaton
system, users are free to
combine ways in which
they view their devices.
Applications generally fall
into four primary categories.
Eaton has developed an easy
way to provide the preferred
solution, using the following
configuration deployment
strategies as example
application categories.
See Page V3-T9-8.
