| 1. | Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service |
|
| which uses that port. |
| 2. | Use the configuration cable |
|
| to the serial port on the front panel of the PDU. |
| 3. | Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) and configure |
|
| the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and |
|
| no flow control, and save the changes. |
| 4. | Press ENTER to display the User Name prompt. |
| 5. | Use apc for the user name and password. |

Remote access to the | From any computer on the same subnet as the Switched Rack PDU, you | |
control console | can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to the Switched Rack | |
| PDU, and then use Telnet to access that Switched Rack PDU’s control | |
| console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings. | |
|
| After the Switched Rack PDU has its IP address configured, |
|
| you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to |
|
| access that Switched Rack PDU. |
| Note | |
| 1. | Use ARP to define an IP address for the Switched Rack PDU, and |
|
| use the Switched Rack PDU’s MAC address in the ARP command. |
|
| For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for the |
|
| Switched Rack PDU that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, |
|
| use one of the following commands: |
|
| – Windows command format: |
arp
– LINUX command format:
arp
For the MAC address, look on the bottom of the PDU or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
Note
2.Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For example:
– Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141
– LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141
