PANDUIT Corp. announces that its DPoE Power over Ethernet System Integration Pack for HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) has received certification from HP. The certification process is intended to ensure customers of a smooth installation and configuration of the PANDUIT Integration Pack within the HP OpenView NNM. PoE is helping drive the adoption of IP telephony (Voice over IP), wireless LANs, IP security and advanced intelligent building applications.

The PANDUIT DPoE System delivers a solution for the integration of data and PoE. The Integration Pack allows the logical network management view offered by HP OpenView NNM to be extended to the physical layer through the display and control of data ports that are providing power to endpoint devices. Physical layer information and asset management information stored within the DPoE System can be integrated and used by the HP OpenView NNM to make comprehensive network assessments at the physical layer for those network elements receiving network power.

The DPoE System includes 12 and 24 port one-rack space power patch panels. These patch panels lower capital costs, allow for PoE deployment in space-constrained locations, and provide manageability by allowing power to be sent to devices over an Ethernet structured cabling system. DPoE Power Patch Panels support both IEEE 802.3af and Cisco Inline Protocol (CIP) power schemes on a port-by-port basis. The port prioritization capabilities help to ensure that critical applications like IP telephony and security receive higher attention in the event of a power disruption.
