Update: I was able to put the FROSTI power controller on the lab network. It is connected to the switch in the top of the rack and is assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.12 and an NDS hostname of relay1.

The controller can be remotely accessed through an SSH command line interface as well as an HTML webpage, which can be opened from any web browser on the lab network by navigating to the above IP address (the login credentials are the same as for the workstation computers).

There is also an unofficial Python package for interfacing with the controller: dlipower. We will investigate using this package to interface the controller with soft EPICS channels hosted on the CyMAC. This will allow us to create a custom MEDM screen for controlling the FROSTI heater elements.

Edit: The login credentials were set up to be the same as for the CDS workstations.
