Installation Instructions
Secure Racking
If Secure Racked units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, they may
require further evaluation by Certification Agencies. The following items must be
considered.
1. The ambient within the rack may be greater than room ambient. Installation
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not
compromised. The maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is
60°C. Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient.
2. Installation should be such that a hazardous stability condition is not achieved due
to uneven loading.
Input Supply
1. Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that
could have an effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
2. When installing 48 VDC rated equipment, it must be installed only per the following
conditions:
A. Connect the equipment to a 48 VDC supply source that is electrically isolated
from the alternating current source. The 48 VDC source is to be connected to
a 48 VDC SELV source.
B. Input wiring to terminal block must be routed and secured in such a manner
that it is protected from damage and stress. Do not route wiring past sharp
edges or moving parts.
C. A readily accessible disconnect device, with a 3 mm minimum contact gap,
shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Grounding
Reliable earthing of this equipment must be maintained. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than direct
connections to the branch circuit.
No Serviceable Parts Inside; Authorized Service Personnel Only
Do not attempt to repair or service this device yourself. Internal components must be
serviced by authorized personnel only.

Warnings and Cautions
Disconnect Power
If any of the following events are noted, immediately disconnect the unit from the outlet
and contact qualified service personnel:
1. If the power cord becomes frayed or damaged.
2. If liquid has been spilled into the device or if the device has been exposed to rain
or water.
Disconnect Power Before Servicing
Before attempting to service or remove this unit, please make certain to disconnect the
power supply cable(s) from the power source(s).
Up to Four Power Supply Cables
Note that some DSM series units feature two separate power inlets and a separate
power supply cable for each power inlet.
In addition, some CPM-1600 series units feature four separate power inlets and a
separate power supply cable for each power inlet. Make certain to disconnect all power
supply cables from their power source before attempting to service or remove the unit.
Modem Cables
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger (e.g., 24 AWG) UL
Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord.
ATTENTION: Pour réduire les risques d’incendie, utiliser uniquement des conducteurs
de télécommunications 26 AWG au de section supérieure.
Restricted Access (CPM Series Only)
CPM Series units are intended for installation in Restricted Access Location.

1. Introduction
This User's Guide covers two WTI product lines: DSM Series Serial Console Servers and
CPM Series Remote Site Managers with Power Control. Both of these product lines are
designed to simplify the process of remotely managing vital network elements located
at distant network equipment sites and off-site facilities. The DSM Series provides
remote access to console port command functions on faraway network elements. CPM
Series units provide remote access to console ports on distant network equipment and
also include the ability to remotely control power switching and reboot functions at the
remote network equipment site.
Security and Co-Location Features:
Secure Shell (SSHv2) encryption and address-specific IP security masks help to prevent
unauthorized access to command and configuration functions.
The DSM/CPM provides four different levels of security for user accounts: Administrator,
SuperUser, User and ViewOnly. The Administrator level provides complete access to
all serial port and switched plug functions, status displays and configuration menus.
The SuperUser level allows control of serial ports and plugs, but does not allow access
to configuration functions. The User level allows access to only a select group of
Administrator-defined serial ports and plugs. The ViewOnly level allows you to check
unit status, but does not allow control of serial ports or switched outlets or access
to configuration menus. The DSM/CPM includes full Radius, LDAP and TACACS
capability, DHCP, an IP Address filter and an invalid access lockout feature. An Audit
Log records all user access, login and logout times and command actions, and an
Alarm Log records user-defined alarm events.
Environmental Monitoring and Management:
The DSM/CPM can constantly monitor temperature levels, ping response and other
factors. If the DSM/CPM detects that user defined thresholds for these values have
been exceeded, the unit can promptly provide notification via email, SNMP, or Syslog.
When temperature readings exceed user-defined critical values, the DSM/CPM can also
intelligently decrease the amount of heat being generated within the rack by temporarily
shutting down nonessential devices; when readings return to acceptable levels, the
DSM/CPM can restore power to those devices to return to normal operating conditions.
The DSM/CPM also records temperature readings to a convenient log file.
In addition to the capabilities described above, CPM-C series units include current
monitoring capabilities, allowing the unit to monitor and report current, power and
voltage conditions at remote equipment sites. If current or power usage exceeds user-
defined threshold values, the CPM-C can also generate alarms and shut down user-
designated non-essential devices.

Introduction
WTI Management Utility
DSM/CPM units include the WTI Enterprise Management Utility (WMU,) which allows
you to manage multiple WTI units via a single menu. For more information on the
Enterprise Management Utility, please refer to the WMU User’s Guide, which can be
downloaded from the WTI web site at: http://www.wti.com/t-product-manuals.aspx.
Model Numbers Covered
This User’s Guide discusses several different models from our DSM Series and CPM
Series product lines. Throughout this User's Guide, all of these units are referred to as
the "DSM/CPM." In addition, when power control features are discussed, all CPM-1600
models and CPM-800 models are referred to as "CPM Series Units."
Typographic Conventions
^(e.g. ^X) Indicates a control character. For example, the text
"^X" (Control X) indicates the [Ctrl] key and the [X]
key must be pressed simultaneously.
COURIER FONT Indicates characters typed on the keyboard.
For example, /RB or /ON 2.
[BoldFont] Text set in bold face and enclosed in square brackets,
indicates a specific key. For example, [Enter] or [Esc].
< > Indicates required keyboard entries:
For Example: /P <n>.
[ ] Indicates optional keyboard entries.
For Example: /P [n].
