Introduction
Initial Setup
Required network
settings
You must configure the following network settings of the MasterSwitch
PDU
before it can operate on a network:
IP
address of the unit
Subnet Mask
IP
address of the default gateway
Note: If a default gateway is not present, enter an
IP
address
of a computer that is on the same subnet and that is
always active.
Configuring TCP/IP
settings
To configure
TCP/IP
settings, see TCP/IP on page 15 and see the
MasterSwitch Installation and Quick Start Manual, included in printed
form with the MasterSwitch PDU and in Portable Document Format
(Install.pdf) on this CD-ROM.
Customizing your
configuration
After you configure MasterSwitch network settings, no further
configuration is required. The remaining MasterSwitch properties are
pre-configured to default settings at the factory. However, you may want
to customize these properties for your application. For more information,
see
Managing the MasterSwitch PDU on page 5.
Auto-configuration
The management card within the MasterSwitch
PDU
supports an auto-
configuration utility that you can use to create a configuration file, which
you can then download to other MasterSwitch
PDU
s, either to individual
units one at a time or to multiple units at the same time. For more
information, see the Management Card Addendum (addendum.pdf
on the MasterSwitch CD-ROM).
