Remote access to the control console
From any computer on the same subnet as the PDU, you can use ARP 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
Note access that PDU.
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
The MAC address is on the back of the 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
3.Use Telnet to access the PDU at its newly assigned IP address. For example:
telnet 156.205.14.141
4.Use apc for both user name and password.
5.See “Control console” on page 14 to finish the configuration.
