American Power Conversion PD60H5HK1, PDRPPH1000 manual Local access to the control console

Communication Configuration

Local access to the control console

You can use a local computer that connects to the InfraStruXure PDU through the console port on the InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit to access the control console.

1.Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.

2.Use the configuration cable (APC part number 940-0103) to connect the selected port to the console port on the InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit.

3.Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®) on your computer 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 38 to finish the configuration.

Remote access to the control console

From any computer on the same subnet as the InfraStruXure PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to an InfraStruXure PDU, and then use Telnet to access that InfraStruXure PDU’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

After an InfraStruXure PDU has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that InfraStruXure PDU.

Note

1.Use ARP to define an IP address for the InfraStruXure PDU, and use the InfraStruXure PDU’s MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for an InfraStruXure PDU that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following commands:

–Windows command format:

arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67

–LINUX command format:

arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67

For the MAC address, look on the Quality Assurance slip included with the

InfraStruXure PDU.
