Dynamic IP Address Assignment
3-2
Discover IP Address: Contact your network administrator to determine which dynamic IP
address has been assigned to the PDU by the DHCP server. The PDU can be identified on the
DHCP server by referring to its MAC address. (The MAC address is a 12-digit string in this
format: 000667xxxxxx. Refer to the MAC address label attached to the PDU.) You may wish
to request a long-term lease period for the IP address, depending on your application. After you
have discovered the IP address, skip Steps
4-1
through
4-6
and proceed directly to Step
5-1
.
3-3
Alternate Method: Press and hold Button B on the Digital Load Meter (see page 8) for 4
seconds to display the IP Address. The default is no address assigned. If this is the case, “no
address” will display one letter at a time. If there is an IP Address programmed, the address will
display 1 digit at a time with dashes (-) representing dots or periods (.).
Static IP Address Assignment
4-1
Determine IP Information: Before assigning a static IP address, you’ll need to know the IP
address, gateway address and subnet mask. If you do not have this information, contact your
network administrator for assistance.
4-2
Configure Terminal Emulation Program: Open a VT100-compatible terminal emulation
program (such as the HyperTerminal program bundled with Microsoft
®
Windows
®
) on a
computer with an available DB9 serial port. (A notebook computer may be the most convenient
choice.) Set the terminal emulation program to use the COM port that corresponds to the
computer’s DB9 serial port. Specify the parameters required to communicate with the PDU
terminal interface:
Bits per second:
9600
Stop bits:
1
Data bits:
8
Flow Control:
None
Parity:
None
If the terminal emulation program supports multiple emulation modes, you may also need to
specify VT100 emulation.
4-3
Connect PDU to Computer: Use the
RJ-45 to DB9 configuration cable (part
number 73-1243) included with the PDU
to connect the PDU to the computer. The
connector at one end of the cable attaches
to the CONFIG RJ-45 port on the PDU.
The DB9 connector at the other end of the
cable connects to the computer’s serial
port.
4-4
Press SNMP Reset Button: Press the
reset button for 3 seconds to reboot the
PDU’s network card. Rebooting the
network card will not erase network
settings or interrupt AC power.
