5. If you want to configure the individual power outlets on the Power Strip,
press G to enter the “Outlet Configuration” Menu.

Associating a Device with a Power Outlet
Since Paragon II cannot detect which type of device is connected to which
power outlet, associations of devices with individual power outlets must be
done manually.
1. Press F5 to activate the “Administration Menu.”
2. Select option 3, “Channel Configuration,” and press Enter.
3. Highlight the connected Power Strip and press G to enter the “Outlet
Configuration” Menu. The physical outlet number corresponds to the
number in the “Ch. ID” column.
4. In the “Type” column, highlight an outlet and press Enter to configure
the device type:
 PWR: This is the default association type and refers to devices not
connected to the Paragon II system (a router or a monitor).
 CPU: Select this type for all devices connected to the Paragon II
system (including “non-server” devices such as Paragon
switches).
5. Press
to highlight the name field. Then press Enter to configure the
name of a device associated with that outlet.
 If the type is set to PWR, users will be able to change the name of
the device as desired.
 If the type is set to CPU, the OSUI will request you to save
changes (“Y/N/ESC”), and then displays a “Select Powered
Device” menu. This is an alphabetized list of all devices
connected to the Paragon II system, allowing the user to indicate
which device is powered by the newly configured outlet. Highlight
the desired device and press Enter.
6. The selected device (if any) will be automatically associated with that
power outlet. The outlet name will be the name of the selected server.
Press S to save the configuration.
7. Press
to scroll to the next page of the configuration menu for
setting security groups for a power outlet. See Group Settings
(Access Rights) (on page 115) for more information on setting
acce
ss rights. This allows administrators to limit who is authorized to
control power to various devices. The default setting for each group on
that outlet is “- -“, which means no accessibility to any user other than
the Admin user. Note, once a group ID setting is changed, it can
never return to the original “- -“ state.
