Graphical User Interface

The Panduit Network Enabled Rack PDU provides access to configuration, power, and

sensor data through a Graphical User Interface (GUI), using a standard browser. There

are several ways to connect to the device's GUI, depending on your network con-

figuration and the firmware revision of the device.

If the PDUhas firmware revision 2.3.03 (or earlier), Static IP is the default. The con-

figuration settings in this case are:

IPv4 Address:192.168.0.253

IPv4 Network:255.255.255.0

IPv4 Gateway:192.168.0.1

If the device has firmware revision 2.3.04 (or later), DHCP is the default, and one of the

following scenarios will be used.

l If you have a DHCP Server available, connect to the appliance through that server,

using the PDU's IP Address.

Note:The IPaddress for the Rack PDUis displayed on the device's LCDscreen after

the label IPv4

l If you do not have a DHCP server, you can run one on your PC. To connect to the

device, use the IP address displayed on the LCD screen.

l If you want to use automatic IPv4 address configuration, you must activate DHCP

on your PC and then connect directly to the PDU. This will give you an address on

the 169.254.0.0/16 network. You can then connect directly using the IP Address

displayed on the LCD screen.
