Configuring the Dominion PX
There are two alternatives to initially configure a Dominion PX device:
Connect the Dominion PX device to a computer to configure it, using a
serial connection between the Dominion PX and the computer.
The computer must have a communications program such as
HyperTerminal or PuTTY. In addition, you need a null-modem cable
with RJ-45 and DB9F connectors on either end.
Connect the Dominion PX device to a TCP/IP network that supports
DHCP.
The DHCP-assigned IP address of the PDU can be retrieved through
the PDU's MAC address. You can contact your LAN administrator for
assistance. See
MAC Address
(on page 247).
A Cat5e/6 UTP cable is required.
Connecting the Dominion PX to a Computer
To connect the PDU to the computer:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the null-modem cable to the port labeled
Serial on the front of the Dominion PX device.
