Communication Configuration

40kW InfraStruXure PDU—Operation and Configuration 47

Local access to the control console

You can use a local computer that connects to the PDU through the console port on the PDU

monitoring unit to access the control console.

1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.

2. Use the configuration cable (APC part number 940-0103) to connect the selected port to the

console port on the PDU monitoring unit.

3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal

) on your computer and configure the selected

port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, and save the changes.

4. Press E

NTER to display the User Name prompt.

5. Use apc for the User Name and Password.

6. See “Control console” on page 48 to finish the configuration.

Remote access to the control console

From any computer on the same subnet as the PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP

address to an InfraStruXure PDU, and then use Telnet to access that PDU’s control console and

configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the PDU, and use the PDU’s MAC address in the ARP

command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for an InfraStruXure 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

2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the

IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands:

– Windows command format:

ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113

– LINUX command format:

ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113

Note

After an InfraStruXure PDU has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without

first using ARP and Ping, to access that PDU.

For the MAC address, look on the Quality Assurance slip included with the

PDU.
