Serial connection — Static IP address
Use the RJ45-to-DB9 serial cable that is provided to connect the computer to the ePDU. If your computer does
not have a DB9 (RS-232) connector, a USB-to-RS-232 adapter can be purchased separately. Access the CLI
using a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal, PuTTY, or TeraTerm.
To set up the serial port using your selected terminal emulation program, use the following settings:
l
Bits per second: 9600
l
Data bits: 8
l
Parity: None
l
Stop bits: 1
l
Flow Control: None
After establishing a serial connection, perform the following steps:
1.
In the terminal emulator session window, enter the default user name (admin) at the login prompt. For
example:
Enter Login: admin
Enter Password:
2.
Type admin (default) at the password prompt. Press Enter.The CLI uses a “get” command to return the
value of a setting and a “set” command to change the value of a setting. For example:
PDU#0>set System.Network.DHCP 0
PDU#0>get System.Network.DHCP
0
3.
Type set System.Network.DHCP 0 and press Enter to modify the value (0 = disabled and 1= enabled). For
example:
PDU#0>set System.Network.DHCP 0
0
4.
Set the IP address to a value provided by your system administrator.
PDU#0>set System.Network.IPAddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
5.
If necessary, set the network Subnet Mask to the value required by your system administrator.
PDU#0>set System.Network.IPMask 255.255.yyy.yyy
255.255.yyy.yyy
6.
Set the network Gateway to the value required by your system administrator.
PDU#0>set System.Network.IPGateway zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
7.
Wait 10 seconds. Use the reset button to restart the eNMC module and apply the new settings.
NOTE
You can also connect up to four ePDUs together using the Daisy Chain port and an
RJ-45 splitter (provided). This enables multiple ePDUs to communicate over one
Ethernet port.
