Networking the PDU
Note: The MAC address of the PDU (a 12-digit string in this format: 000667xxxxxx) is printed on a label attached to
the PDU enclosure.
If your network’s DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the PDU automatically, go to Step
3-1
. If you will assign a static IP address to the PDU manually, go to Step
4-1
. If you are uncertain
which method to use, contact your network administrator for assistance before continuing the
installation process.
Dynamic IP Address Assignment
3-1
Connect PDU to Network: While the
PDU is powered, connect a standard
Ethernet patch cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet
port on the PDU.
Note: This port is not compatible with PoE
(Power over Ethernet) applications. The PDU
will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
This may take as long as several minutes,
depending on your network environment.
Some Models Will Vary.
