Accessories
Serial Communication (Delta Configured Units Only)
The Delta configured units provide an out-of-band, serial line, monitoring interface. The unit
provides an RJ-45 port for RS-232 serial communication, giving monitoring via the command
line similar to the Telnet service. If the administrator name and password are setup then they
must be used to access the serial command line. Type “help” after logging-in to the unit to see
a list of available commands.
Note: All data sent via the serial port is unencrypted. Some settings can be changed and user names and
network settings are available.

RSD2X8 Remote Display
This small module comes standard with any Wye configured units (optional for Delta and
Horizontal units) and can be mounted in an accessible spot inside or outside the rack or
cabinet. A backlit LCD display scrolls the values of items selected on the Logging page. The
display is connected to the main unit via a 4-conductor handset-style cord. The display’s
onboard buzzer can be used in conjunction with E-Mail and SNMP to provide local alarming of
error conditions. The buzzer can be silenced via the button on the face of the module; however
the display’s LED indicator will remain lit until the alarm condition is cleared.
IP-Addressable Network Cameras
The unit is able to interface with up to four IP-addressable network cameras. A live snapshot
from each camera will be displayed on the unit’s Sensors page underneath the main unit’s
graph. Clicking on a snapshot opens the camera’s website in a new browser window.
