| 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 |
| 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 |
| – LINUX command format: |
| arp |
| 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 |
| – LINUX command format: |
| ping 156.205.14.141 |
