Note: If a PDU beeps after being powered up, either its
circuit breaker has tripped or the L-N wiring is reversed. If
no circuit breakers tripped, check the wiring of the plug
adapter that is used or the direction in which the plug or
plug adapter is plugged into the power socket.

There are two ways to configure the PX for the first time.
x
Connect the PX to a computer to configure it.
STEP 1: Connect the PX to a Computer
(on page 4)
STEP 2: Configure the PX
(on page 4)
x
Connect the PX to a TCP/IP network that supports DHCP,
and use the IPv4 address and web browser to configure
the PX.
The DHCP-assigned IP address can be retrieved through
the PX device's MAC address. Contact your LAN
administrator for assistance. See
MAC Address
(on page
5).

parameters.
IP
address
The default IP configuration method is
DHCP. To assign the PX an IP address,
choose either:
Auto
configuration: Type
dhcp
or
bootp
to let the DHCP or BOOTP
server provide the IP address.
Static IP address: Type
none
and
when prompted, enter an IP address,
network mask and gateway.
IP access
control
Leave it disabled now. It disables the PX
device's firewall. You can enable the firewall
and create access control rules after the
initial configuration is complete.
LAN
interface
speed
Leave the default
auto
, or type
10
or
100
for
10 or 100 Mbps.
LAN
interface
duplex
mode
Leave the default
auto
, or type
half
or
full
for
half or full duplex.
FIPS
mode
Leave the default
no
to disable the FIPS
mode or type
yes
to enable it. Note that the
FIPS mode only supports FIPS approved
algorithms that are defined in
FIPS PUB
140-2
(
http://www.nist.gov/cmvp/
).
SNMP
agent
Leave the default
yes
, or type
no
to disable
the SNMP agent implemented on the PX.
SNMP
v1/v2c
protocol
This setting appears only when the SNMP
agent is enabled.
Leave the default
yes
, or type
no
to disable
SNMP v1/v2c. If enabled, specify the read
and write community strings when
prompted.
Default community strings include:
Read:
raritan_public
Write:
raritan_private
In the FIPS mode, SNMP v1/v2c is NOT
supported so the system does not prompt
you to configure it.
