control console	control console.
	1.	Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service
		which uses that port.
	2.	Use the configuration cable (940-0144) to connect the selected port
		to the serial port on the front panel of the Rack 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 12 to finish the configuration.
Remote access to the	From any computer on the same subnet as the Rack PDU, you can use
control console	ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to the Rack PDU, and then use
	Telnet to access that Rack PDU’s control console and configure the
	needed TCP/IP settings.
		After the Rack PDU has its IP address configured, you can
		use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that
		Rack PDU.
	Note
	1.	Use ARP to define an IP address for the Rack PDU, and use the
		Rack PDU’s MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to
		define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for the Rack 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

The MAC address is on the bottom of the Rack PDU and 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 -l 113

– LINUX command format:

ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
