Quick Configuration

Local access to the

You can use a local computer to connect to the Rack PDU to access the

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
