Network Setup - Geist Upgradable PDU Instruction Manual

Network Setup

The Monitored Geist Upgradeable PDU has a default IP address for initial setup and access. Once you
have assigned an IP address, the default IP address will no longer be active. To restore the default IP
address and reset all user-account information, if the user-assigned address or passwords are lost or
forgotten, press and hold the network-reset button located below the Ethernet port for 15 seconds.
Holding the center button of the LED display for 10 seconds will also reset the network and user
account information.
To completely erase ALL of the user settings and restore the unit back to its factory-default state,
disconnect power from the PDU, then press and hold the network-reset button while powering up the
PDU.
The Network page (located under the System Tab) allows you to assign the network properties
manually, or use DHCP to connect to your network. Access to the unit requires the IP address to be
known. Use of a static IP or a reserved DHCP is recommended. The default address is shown on the
front of the unit:

To access the unit for the first time, you will need to temporarily change your computer's network
settings to match the 192.168.123. xxx subnet. To set up the unit, connect it to your computer's
Ethernet port, then follow the appropriate instructions for your computer's operating system.
