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.
