Connect an Original PDU to a Static IP Address Network
Prior to starting this procedure, configure a PC or Oracle Solaris system to
permit a point-to-point connection to the PDU. For a PC, see Configure a Windows PC for a Point-to-Point Connection. See Configure an Oracle Solaris System for a Point-to-Point Connection for an Oracle Solaris system.
-
Connect a crossover patch cable from the system to the PDU metering unit's
RJ-45 Ethernet port.
Do not connect a standard Ethernet cable between the system and the PDU,
since the internal pinouts for a crossover cable are different from the
pinouts used in a standard Ethernet cable. See Crossover Cable Pinout Diagram for
the pinout diagram of a crossover cable.
-
Connect the PDU power input lead to the AC power source.
You need to connect only one PDU power input lead to power on the PDU
metering unit:
-
On PDUs that have one power input lead, connect that one power
lead to the AC power source.
-
On PDUs with two power leads, connect the first power lead
(labeled 0) to the AC power source.
-
On PDUs with three power input leads, connect the middle power
lead (labeled 1) to the AC power source.
-
On the system, use a web browser to log in to the PDU metering
unit.
Type the metering unit's factory-default 0.0.0.0
address in the browser's address line. Once connected, the web browser
displays the Current Measurement page.
-
Click the Net Configuration link found in the upper left side of the
page.
The browser prompts you to log into the PDU metering unit.
-
Log in to the PDU metering unit as an admin user.
See Login Information. Once logged in, the browser displays the Network
Configuration page.
-
In the Network Configuration page, confirm that the DHCP Enabled checkbox
is not selected, and type the network settings for the PDU metering unit.
For example:
Note -
Display Time is the time the Net Configuration is displayed on the PDU
LCD screen before the screen displays current measurements.
-
Click the Submit button to set these network settings and reset the PDU
metering unit.
-
Disconnect the crossover cable from the PDU metering unit.
-
Connect an Ethernet cable to the PDU metering unit's RJ-45 Ethernet port
and to the network.
-
On a system connected to the network, use a web browser to log on to the
PDU metering unit.
Type the metering unit's static IP address into the browser's address
line. If the network configuration was successful, the browser displays the
Current Measurement page.
-
Connect the remaining PDU power input leads to the AC power source.
