may be changed by the System Administrator.
As you enter the password, the display will show '*' for each character entered:
The PDU 4/4 is shipped with a default Case Sensitive Password of

Entering an invalid password causes the unit to request the password again.
Password entry is case sensitive.

Commands
Command Principles
Serial Access
Commands are executed from the Serial terminal. You must log in order to access any programming
commands.
Abbreviation
Commands may be abbreviated by typing only enough characters to differentiate 1 command from
another.
Ports and Groups
Commands can be entered for individual Ports, either by name or by number; for a range of port
numbers separated by a dash (e.g.,
5-8
), any combination of port numbers, separated by a comma
(e.g.,
1,4,5,8
); or for a
Port Group
. A Port Group is defined when more than one Port is assigned an
identical name (e.g.,
SUN
) and the port name is used in a PDU 4/4 command.
Note:
In this manual, pressing „Enter‟, „Return‟ or <CR> represent the same
action.
Global Commands
For multiple-PDU 4/4 configurations, many commands will accept a
box ID of zero (0
) to generate
a
Global Command
that will execute the desired operation in
all
connected boxes.
Global commands include
0
(the digit zero) to operate all connected PDU 4/4
box ID‟s, and
ALL
or
all
for all port IDs within a box or a number of cascaded boxes.
Command Replay
Commands may be “replayed” by pressing the up arrow.
