To access the console:

Perform the following steps to connect a computer to the console port of the PM IPDU. This procedure assumes that you know how to use a terminal emulation program.

On a PC, ensure that HyperTerminal or another terminal emulation program is installed on the Windows operating system. On a computer running a UNIX-based operating system, such as Solaris or Linux, make sure that a compatible terminal emulator, such as Kermit or Minicom, is installed.

1.Connect an RJ-45 serial cable to the IN port on the PM IPDU.

2.Connect the other end of the RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 to DB-9F straight through adaptor shipped with the PM IPDU.

3.Connect the adaptor to a DB-9 serial port on a computer.

4.You may need to use a USB serial adaptor in order to connect to the computer.

5.Using a terminal emulation program installed on a computer, start a session. The terminal should be set to ANSI emulation, 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1stop bit and no flow control.
