Configuring local access

Connecting through a serial connection

You can access the following PDU information through a serial connection by running CLI commands.
• System configuration
• Network Configuration
• User Operation
• Device Settings
• Power Measurements
• Switch Outlets On/Off.
A serial connection also requires a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal, or the use of an SSH
client, such as PuTTY.
Communicating through the serial port requires a specialized optional RJ45-DB9 cable, or you can create
your own cable. For more information on making your own cable, see Serial cable pinout to create your
own cable.
