Power control devices

Power control devices are network-linked power switches that enable authorised

users to remotely make/break/cycle the mains supply to individual host systems

and other devices. ADDER.NET supports power control devices (PCDs) as a

distinct sub-class of devices.

When adding a PCD to ADDER.NET please note that it is not possible to include

them by scanning the network as you might with KVM devices and software

servers. PCDs must be added manually within the Manager, as detailed in the

section To manually add a new device. When doing so, be sure to select the

Device Type as ‘WTI Power Control Device’.

Device pages for PCDs include a section at the foot of the page entitled Outlet

Allocation (in place of Accessible Hosts):

This section indicates the following:

• Thenameofthedevicesthatarephysicallyconnectedtoeachpowercontrol

outlet (and have been associated with those outlets within ADDER.NET).

• Thecurrentstatusofeachoutlet:On( ), Off ( ) and unknown ( )

• Clickableactionbuttonsforeachoutlet:SwitchOn( ), switch Off ( )

and power-cycle ( ) .

Altering outlet allocation

To alter the allocation of (server and KVM) devices to the power control outlets

of the PCD, click the Change button to display the following:

To allocate a device to an outlet

1 Click one or more checkbox(es) for the required outlet(s) in the Current

outlet allocations... area. If an outlet is already assigned to another device,

there is no need to end that association before allocating it to a new device;

the old association will be broken automatically.

Note: Devices can be associated with more than one outlet - for instance,

where servers have multiple redundant power inputs.

2 Select the required device from the list in the All permissible targets area.

3 Click the Allocate button to form the link between outlet(s) and device.

To clear an allocation

Note: It is not necessary to clear an existing allocation before linking an outlet to

a new device; the old association will be broken automatically.

1 Click the checkbox(es) for the required outlet(s) in the Current outlet

allocations... area.

2 Select the No connection entry in the All permissible targets area.

3 Click the Allocate button.

To exit

• ClicktheDevice Manager link.
