Metered Rack PDU for High Density
10
Remote access to the control console
From any computer on the same subnet as the Rack
PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP
address to the Rack PDU, and then use Telnet to
access that Rack PDUs control console and configure
the needed TCP/IP settings.
Note: After the Rack PDU has its IP
address configured, you can use Telnet,
without first using ARP and Ping, to
access that Rack PDU.
1 . Use ARP to define an IP address for the Rack
PDU, and use the Rack PDUs MAC address in
the ARP command. For example, to define an
IP address of 156.205.14.141 for the 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
back of the Rack 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 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 11 to finish the
configuration.
