You can monitor the power status of any device that is connected to the PDU, either locally or remotely,
by using the PDU web interface or the IBM PDU Configuration Utility. You can also use IBM Systems
Director Active Energy Manager to monitor power usage of the PDU and its load groups. All of the PDU
Configuration Utility configuration menu choices are available through the web interface after the PDU is
set up on the local network. You can use Telnet or any other terminal program to configure the PDU after
