Power Management
The web interface provides a quick, easy method for adding and
configuring remote power control units to the PortServer TS 8/16. The
PortServer TS 8/16 gives an administrator access to remote power units on
the network enabling the administrator to reset a device(s) or turn them on
or off. Once a power unit has been added, it can be configured and
managed in three different ways. Users, console groups, and device
names are the three different ways to manage the power units. Individual
users are authorized to manage one or more outlets. Users assigned to a
console group manage one or more ports and the power units attached to
those ports. Users assigned by device name manage all devices having a
specific name such as router or Cisco. The three management options a
user has are to turn a device on, off, or reset a device or devices.
Configuring Power Units

button.
3. Fill in the requested fields for port number, power unit manufacturer,

Power Unit Configuration page.
Note: The port number entered is the port on the PortServer TS which
is connected to the power unit.
