Accessing the PM IPDU via the
Command Line Interface
When using the PM IPDU independently of other Cyclades products, users and administrators may
access the PM IPDU command line interface through a terminal emulation program.
PM IPDU User Interface
You may access the PM IPDU user interface by following the instructions provided in Direct
console access on page 9. Depending on the PM IPDU’s boot status, either the Boot Menu or the
Login Prompt will appear.
On the Boot Menu, you may enter
2 (or just wait approximately 12 seconds) to activate the
Login Prompt.
Daisy chained PM IPDUs in the login prompt
Number of PM IPDUs
If no PM IPDUs are daisy chained, the [PM]: IPDU: line appears only once, and the value is 1.
If there are any PM IPDUs daisy chained to the first PM IPDU, the [PM]: IPDU: line appears once
for each PM IPDU in the chain. For each PM IPDU, the value is incremented by 1. The final
appearance of the [PM]: IPDU: line will show the total number of PM IPDUs in the daisy chain.
Number of PM IPDU outlets
If no PM IPDUs are daisy chained, the [PM]: OUT: line appears only once, and the value is equal
to the number of outlets on the PM IPDU.
If there are any PM IPDUs daisy chained to the first PM IPDU, the [PM]: OUT: line appears once
for each PM IPDU in the chain. For each PM IPDU, the value shows the cumulative total of outlets
until the total number of outlets for the entire chain is displayed.
Logging in to the PM IPDU
When prompted, enter your username and password.
NOTE: If there are daisy chained PM IPDUs, you will need to press Enter after the final [PM]: OUT: line appears.
