Verdiem Surveyor 6 Installation GuideOverview of Surveyor 6Surveyor is a comprehensive power management solution that helps you manage the powerstates of computers and network-connected devices in a way that reduces energyconsumption without disrupting work activity.Surveyor measures, monitors, and regulates energy consumption of a variety of networkdevices from a central location, using a web-based administrator console.• Measure Costs: For any device connected to the system, Surveyor can track the timespent in each power state and its energy usage. Surveyor can track Windows PCs,Macintosh computers, and EnergyWise-enabled devices (IP phones, switches, wirelessaccess points, routers, router modules, iPDUs, security cameras).• Manage Energy: The administration tools in Surveyor help you manage the power statesof network-connected devices using direct commands and scheduled policies that youdefine to fit your organization’s needs.• Optimize Savings: Surveyor reports on the data it collects in useful charts and graphsthat show device and user activity. In addition to energy consumption and savings reports,Verdiem provides a range of useful information to help manage your PC fleet.Surveyor featuresSurveyor provides the following key features:FeatureCentralized administrationAgent-based powermanagementDirect device managementUsage data collectionRemote access and Wakeon LAN supportLocations, energy rateschedules, and currenciesRole-based securityDashboards and AnalyticsreportingDescriptionCentralized administration of device power states from a single, easyto use Web-based administrator console.Agent-based, non-intrusive PC and Mac power management withminimal impact to end-users, business applications, or IT maintenanceactivity.The ability to manage and control devices immediately via directcommands, or through policies and scheduled power schemes.The ability to collect actual usage information for computers to helpyou optimize intelligent power management policies.Unhindered remote access to office computers and high performanceWake on LAN support for waking PC and Mac client agents. Endusers can wake Surveyor client agents from a remote location overthe web and schedule strategic wake requests to work aroundscheduled maintenance windows.Support for multiple location that devices can be assigned to manuallyor through auto-assignment rules. Each location can have associatedenergy costs (fixed or variable for TOU and intraday rates) in thatlocation's currency. Reports reflect correct savings by automaticallycalculating local currencies exchange rates with the specified systemcurrency.Group-oriented administration with role-based security privileges.Role-based dashboards provide actionable information on energycosts, C02 emissions, and asset inventory and health to keyAbout Surveyor8

Fordetails, see "Configuring Surveyor for EnergyWise devices" in theSurveyor 6 Administrator Guide.Configuring power management in SurveyorPower management is the ability to move devices into appropriate power states as demandrequires.A device in Surveyor can be a Windows PC, Macintosh computer, or EnergyWise-enableddevices such as switches, routers, router modules, IP phones, iPDUs, and wireless accesspoints (WAPs).When devices first connect to Surveyor, they are automatically assigned the Baseline DataCollection policy. While a device uses this policy, data is collected to measure energy useand user activity; no power management settings are enforced.Policies contain the following types of settings:• Scheduled power schemes (PC and Mac only) that specify the amount of time of userinactivity before a device transitions to a lower power state. Each scheme can have aunique schedule.• An unscheduled, background power scheme that runs 24/7 when no other powerschemes are scheduled.• Scheduled power level changes (such as wake, shutdown, sleep, or restart), each witha unique schedule. Power level changes apply to PC and Mac clients, or PoE devices.• Wake up settings for PC and Mac clients.• Logging and data collection settings for PC and Mac clients.Surveyor assigns policies manually or through assignment rules that you create. Eachdevice can have only one policy assigned to it, but each policy can contain multiple schemesand power level changes, each with its own schedule.NOTE: All power settings in policies apply to PC and Mac clients. For other types of devices,only scheduled power level changes apply. Surveyor collects data for all device types for reportingpurposes.Devices can be assigned to administrative groups, either manually or through assignmentrules that you create. Groups help you to organize devices logically and aid you in applyingrole-based permissions for delegated administration.Devices can also be assigned to locations, which have associated currencies and energyrate schedules.
