PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide Issue 2.2

Part Number: PN378A

ELEMENT MANAGER SOFTWARE

The optional PANDUIT

Element Manager is used to remotely control, configure and monitor the DPoE™

Power Patch Panels within the network. Once installed on a shared or dedicated Windows-based

Personal Computer (PC), the EM can be used to manage an entire network of DPoE™ Power Patch

Panels.

The PANDUIT

Element Manager is shipped on a CD-ROM included with the DPoE™ Power Patch

Panel.

NOTE:

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel does not require the EM for the panel to operate

correctly. An installed DPoE™ Power Patch Panel will source PoE power without the

EM. The EM provides an optional extra level of remote maintenance and monitoring for

a network of panels.
