| Quick Configuration for a Metered PDU |
Local access to the | You can use a local computer to connect to the PDU to access the control | |
control console | console. | |
| 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. |
| 6. | See “Control console” on page 13 to finish the configuration. |
Remote access to the | From any computer on the same subnet as the PDU, you can use ARP | |
control console | and Ping to assign an IP address to the PDU, and then use Telnet to | |
| access that PDU’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP | |
| settings. | |
|
| After the PDU has its IP address configured, you can use |
|
| Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that |
|
| PDU. |
| Note | |
| 1. | Use ARP to define an IP address for the PDU, and use the PDU’s |
|
| MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP |
|
| address of 156.205.14.141 for the 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
