Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC
InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the
InfraStruXure Manager’s documentation for more

computer that is located on the same subnet as the PDU and
that is usually running. The PDU uses the default gateway to
test the network when traffic is very light.
