You can control an AlterPath Power Management (PM), intelligent power distribution unit (IPDU), by connecting it to the AUX port on the KVM. By daisy-chaining any combination of PM models, you can control up to 128 outlets from one KVM.
1. Use an RJ-45 CAT5 cable to connect the AUX port on the KVM to the In port of your AlterPath PM.
2. This procedure assumes that you have one AlterPath PM connected to the AUX port of the KVM.
1. Connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to the Out port of the “master” AlterPath PM, which is connected to the AUX port of the KVM.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to the In port of the next AlterPath PM (slave).
3. To connect another PM to the slave, connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to the Out port of an already connected PM.
