Browser

To operate the eco PDU from an Internet browser, begin by logging in:

1. Open your browser and specify the IP address of the eco PDU you want to access in the browser's URL location bar.
   Note: You can get the IP address from the eco PDU administrator, or see the IP Address Determination section of the user manual (default IP address: 192.168.0.60).
2. If a Security Alert dialog box appears, accept the certifi cate — it can be trusted. The login page appears.
3. Provide a valid Username and Password.
   Note: If you are logging in for the fi rst time, use the default username and password: administrator and password.
4. Then click Login to bring up the browser main page.

eco DC

NRGence eco DC provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you to confi gure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected to it. NRGence eco DC can be found on the software CD provided with the eco PDU package.

SNMP

NRGence eco PDUs support any 3rd-party V1, V2, V3 SNMP manager software. SNMP Management Information Database (MIB) fi les for the eco PDU device can be found on the software CD provided with the eco PDU package.
