Serial Configuration
The PDU has 4 serial RS232 connectors located at the front to connect upto 4 external devices,
ie: switches, servers,...
These connectors are primarily for recovery purposes, so when you have been locked out of an
external device you can still connect to it through Telnet using the PDU's ethernet connection.
Configuring the serial connectors
•
Make sure that the PDU has been properly configured for use on the network. For more info
see TCP-IP Configuration
•
Use a browser to open the PDU's IP address. You will be asked for login credentials, the
default values are:
Login:
admin
Password:
1234
•
Go to the Serial tab
Here you can specify for each connector:
•
Port
: The number of the serial connector as seen on the front of the PDU
•
Baudrate
: Possible baudrates for serial communication. The baudrate of the serial
connector and a connected device must be the same
•
TelnetPort
: Sets the telnet port. The port must end in the same number as the
corresponding serial connector (serial connector 3 cannot have a port ending with 4 (ie:
30004), it must end with a 3 (ie: 14203)
•
Reset
Telnet
: Disconnects an active telnet session. This button does not alter any other
settings.
Using the Serial Connectors
•
Make sure the PDU and your computer are connected to the same subnet on the same
network.
•
Connect a serial cable between one of the PDU's configured serial connectors and an
external device's serial port. The used Baudrates on both devices should be the same
•
Start a Telnet session at the PDU's IP and with the correct port.
•
You will be asked for login credentials, the default values are:
Login:
admin
Password:
1234
•
You are now connected, please refer to the external device's documentation for more
information on the serial connection options.
