brief pause, an initialization page should appear in
the terminal emulation program. Press any key on
the keyboard within 10 seconds to change the
PDU settings. (If the 10-second period has
elapsed, you can reboot the PDU by powering
down completely and then restoring power.)
Follow the sequence of responses below in order
to assign an IP address to the PDU. The default
terminal mode root password is TrippLite. Sample
IP settings are shown - supply your own IP
information when you configure your PDU.
Press A to Accept the settings, or M to Modify? M
Enter the root password: *********

Static IP address is 192.168.0.123
Subnet Mask IP address [255.255.0.0]? 255.255.255.0
Subnet Mask IP address is 255.255.255.0

You can also change the root password, real-time clock and other settings. (Tripp Lite recommends
against changing the default settings unless you are an advanced user with a specific purpose.) After you
