Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit

Remote access to the control console
From any computer on the same subnet as the
Switched Rack PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to
assign an IP address to the Switched Rack PDU,
and then use Telnet to access that Switched Rack
PDU’s control console and configure the needed
TCP/IP settings.
Note. After the Switched Rack PDU
has its IP address configured, you can
use Telnet, without first using ARP and
Ping, to access that Switched Rack
PDU.
1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the
Switched Rack PDU, and use the
Switched Rack PDU’s MAC address in
the ARP command. For example, to
define an IP address of 156.205.14.141
for a Switched Rack PDU that has a MAC
address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of
the following commands:
– Windows command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67
– LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67
Note. The MAC address is on
the bottom of the PDU and on
the Quality Assurance slip
included in the package.
2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to
assign the IP address defined by the ARP
command. For example:
– Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113
– LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
3. Use Telnet to access the Switched Rack
PDU at its newly assigned IP address. For
example:
telnet 156.205.14.141
4. Use apc for both user name and
password.
5. See “Control console” on page 14 to
finish the configuration.
