Metered Rack Power Distribution Unit 13
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 the
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 the
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
example:
Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113
LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
3. Use Telnet to access the PDU at its newly
assigned IP address. For example:
telnet 156.205.14.141
4. Use apc for both user name and password.
5. See “Control console” on page 14 to finish the
configuration.
Note
After the PDU has its IP address
configured, you can use Telnet,
without first using ARP and Ping, to
access that
PDU.
Note
The MAC address is on the back of the
PDU and on the Quality Assurance slip
included in the package.
