Chapter 4. Monitoring the power status
You can monitor the power status for any device that is connected to the PDU,
either manually or remotely, through the PDU Web interface. You can use the IBM
DPI Configuration Utility to initially set up the PDU and to configure PDU settings
such as network parameters, access control table, and trap receivers table.
Note: All of the Configuration Utility configuration options are available through the
Web interface after the PDU is set up on the local network.
Using the IBM DPI Configuration Utility
This section describes how to use the IBM DPI Configuration Utility to configure the
PDU settings, such as the IP address, network parameters, access control table,
and trap receivers table.
You can configure the PDU using a workstation or notebook computer that is
connected to the PDU. Connect the DB9-to-RJ-45 cable that comes with the PDU
to the RJ-45 console connector on the PDU and to a RS-232 serial (COM)
connector on a workstation or notebook computer. For more information, see
"Connecting the console" on page 17.
Using HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal is a terminal program in a Microsoft Windows operating system that
enables you to configure or control a device using command line parameters. You
can configure the PDU parameters and its outlets using numerical commands from
a keyboard. You can also use Telnet or any other terminal program to configure the
PDU after the IP address is set.
