MasterSwitch Power Distribution Unit User’s Guide 4
Introduction
Initial Setup
Required network
settings
You must configure the following network settings of the MasterSwitch
PDU before it can operate on a network:
• IP address of the unit
• Subnet Mask
• IP address of the default gateway
Note: If a default gateway is not present, enter an IP address
of a computer that is on the same subnet and that is
always active.
Configuring TCP/IP
settings
To configure TCP/IP settings, see TCP/IP on page 15 and see the
MasterSwitch Installation and Quick Start Manual, included in printed
form with the MasterSwitch PDU and in Portable Document Format
(
Install.pdf ) on this CD-ROM.
Customizing your
configuration
After you configure MasterSwitch network settings, no further
configuration is required. The remaining MasterSwitch properties are
pre-configured to default settings at the factory. However, you may want
to customize these properties for your application. For more information,
see
Managing the MasterSwitch PDU on page 5 .
Auto-configuration
The management card within the MasterSwitch PDU supports an auto-
configuration utility that you can use to create a configuration file, which
you can then download to other MasterSwitch
PDU s, either to individual
units one at a time or to multiple units at the same time. For more
information, see the
Management Card Addendum ( addendum.pdf
on the MasterSwitch CD-ROM).
