Local access to the
control console
You can use a local computer to connect to the
PDU
to access the 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
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
E
NTER
to display the User Name prompt.
5. Use apc for the user name and password.
6. See “Control console” on page 13 to finish the configuration.
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.
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 -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
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
Note
After the
PDU
has its
IP
address configured, you can use
Telnet, without first using
ARP
and Ping, to access that
PDU
.
Note
For the
MAC
address, look on the bottom of the
PDU
or on
the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
