2.
Connect each PXE to an appropriately rated branch circuit.
See the label or nameplate affixed to your PXE for
appropriate input ratings or range of ratings.
3.
When a PXE powers up, it proceeds with the power-on self

Connecting the PXE to Your Network
To remotely administer the PXE, you must connect the PXE to
your local area network (LAN).
To make a wired connection:
1.
Connect a standard network patch cable to the Ethernet
port on the PXE.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN.

Initial Network Configuration
Depending on your networking environment, the best method
to initially configure your PXE differs.
For a DHCP IPv4 networking environment, see
Using a
Web Browser
(on page 3).
For an IPv6 or "static" IPv4 networking environment, see
Appendix A: Configuration via a Connected Computer
(on page 4).
QS Rule
Using a Web Browser
Initial configuration using a web browser involves these two
steps.
Step 1: Retrieve the IP Address
(on page 3)
Step 2: Log in to the PXE Web Interface
(on page 3)
Step 1: Retrieve the IP Address
After connecting to a DHCP IPv4 network, an IPv4 address is
automatically assigned to your PXE. The IP address is
available in the command line interface (CLI).
To retrieve the IP address:
1.
Connect the PXE to a computer via a USB cable. See
Step
2: Connect the PXE to a Computer
(on page 4).
2.
On the computer, open a communications program with
appropriate COM port settings. For COM port settings, see
step 2 in the section titled
Step 3: Configure the PXE via
CLI (Optional)
(on page 4).
3.
Press Enter in the communications program, and the IP
address is displayed onscreen as illustrated below.
Alternative: The DHCP-assigned IP address can be also
retrieved through the PDU's
MAC Address
(on page 5)., which
is shown on the PDU's label. To use this method, contact your
LAN administrator for assistance.
Step 2: Log in to the PXE Web Interface
The PXE supports common web browsers, including Microsoft
Internet Explorer
®
, Mozilla Firefox
®
, and Google
®
Chrome.
To access the PXE web interface:
1.
Open a web browser and type the IP address of PXE.
2.
Accept any security warnings that may appear.
3.
Type the default user credentials and click Login.
User name:
admin
Password:
raritan
4.
When prompted to change the password, change or ignore
it.
To change it, type the new password and click Ok.
To ignore it for this time only, click Not Now.
To ignore it permanently, select "Do not ask again" and
click Not Now.
It is highly recommended to change the default password.
Make sure the new password is noted down and kept in a
secure place.

What To Do Next
1.
Connect IT equipment to the outlet(s) on the PXE.
2.
Launch the web browser if not yet. See
Step 2: Log in to
the PXE Web Interface
(on page 3).
3.
Choose Device Settings > Date/Time to configure the PXE
with the proper date and time or synchronize it with an
NTP server. The PXE device's time must be in sync with
the LDAP server to use LDAP authentication.
Note: If you are using Sunbird's Power IQ to manage the
PXE, you must configure Power IQ and the PXE to have
the same date/time or NTP settings.
4.
Use the menu to the left to configure user profiles,
privileges, security, or network settings.
