Appendix A: Configuration via a Connected
Computer
To use the command line interface (CLI) for configuration,
establish an RS-232 or USB connection.
To use a web browser for configuration, make a network
connection to the computer. The PX2/PX3 is automatically
configured with the following link-local addressing in any
network without DHCP available:
https://169.254.x.x (where x is a number)
https://pdu.local
Step 1: Connect the PX2/PX3 to a Computer
Establish one of the following connections to a computer.
Serial connection for "DB9" RS-232 connector on
PX2/PX3:
1.
Connect one end of the null-modem DB9 cable to the male
"DB9" RS-232 port labeled CONSOLE / MODEM on the
PX2/PX3.
2.
Connect the other end to your computer's RS-232 port
(COM).

Perform
Step 2: Configure the PX2/PX3 via CLI
(Optional)
(on page 6).
Serial connection for "RJ-45" RS-232 connector on
PX3-iX7:
The iX7
™
PDU's serial connection procedure is the same
as above except that a third party RJ-45 to "DB9 female"
adapter/cable is required, such as the blue Cisco adapter
cable. This is because the CONSOLE / MODEM port on
iX7
™
is a female RJ-45 connector.
