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.
EM. (See page 19, Table 11: PC Minimum Requirements, for more information.) Once all required support software is installed, the PANDUIT displayed (see below).
Remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive and store it in a safe place. NOTE: The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Support Tools CD-ROM also includes the option to uninstall the PANDUIT NOTE: Critical updates to the support programs may occasionally come from Microsoft Corporation.
Once the EM is successfully installed, access the program using the shortcut installed on the desktop by the EM installation software. (The program is stored in the Panduit directory under the programs directory and can also be accessed through the START menu.) After displaying the version number of the EM, the user is prompted for a UserName and password.
Graphical User Interface ® The PANDUIT Element Manager has an easy-to-use graphical user interface with pull-down menus and tool bars, which make configuring and provisioning the network easy. When the Element Manager software is opened, the following system-level opening screen appears.
The Tree View of the Network area provides a hierarchical display of each patch panel within the network using the configurable names assigned by the network operator. Multiple patch panels physically wired into a single rack are grouped on the screen under the configurable name of that rack. Using the computer mouse, the operator can select a specific rack, and the display will expand to show the individuals panels within that rack.
Page 26
By clicking on the Add button, the network operator can create new UserNames and Passwords for use the system. A free-form Description field is also available. Maintenance of UserNames is done by first clicking an existing Username, then clicking on either the Remove button to delete that UserName or the Properties button to have the following screen appear.
(This information can be colleted by using the included PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Installation Worksheet during installation.) When installing multiple panels simultaneously, it is very important to record the MAC address for each panel.
The network operator can set the Discover capability to search a specific subnetwork for panels or search across a range of IP addresses. The two leftmost buttons on this Discover Devices window are used to select which type of Discover to initiate. By selecting the top button, the top half of the screen is then used to request a subnetwork search.
IMPORTANT: The SNMP Community fields are case-sensitive and allow SNMP messages to be exchanged between the EM and the DPoE™ Power Patch Panels. FOR SECURITY REASONS, THESE FIELDS SHOULD BE CHANGED FROM THEIR DEFAULTS. Once any subnetwork changes are entered (if necessary), check ( searched and click the Start button.
Whether a subnetwork search or an IP range search was conducted, the discovered DPoE™ Power Patch Panel information will be populated in the Element Manager. TIP: In addition to the Discover capability, the Element Manager also supports a Refresh capability, which collects the information stored in each Patch Panel and verifies it’s consistent with the information in the EM.
Page 31
5. The table contains the MAC and IP address of the all of the panels. The message log will include the MAC and IP address of the newly discovered panel(s). The MAC Address can now be used to associate the discovered panel with the information contained on the installation worksheet, and the Panel Attributes can now be entered.
