Figure 3. Power Device Network Utility
Getting Started
The Power Device Network Utility scans the network for devices with MAC
addresses that match CyberPower network hardware. Once found, the device(s)
can then be figured with a specific IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
This allows the device(s) to function properly on the network and interface with
CyberPower Management Console.
Step 1. Select the appropriate PDU device from the Equipment List (Shown in Figure 4.).
Figure 4. Equipment List
Note: If the PDU does not appear on the list, click the Refresh button to rescan the
network. If it still does not appear, ensure that the PDU is turned on and was
installed correctly.
Pressing Stop will cancel the scan/refresh process.
Note: If your computer has a software firewall installed, you may see a Windows
Security Alert message (Shown in Figure 5.).
In Windows XP SP2, the default firewall alert message is shown as Figure 5. You
need to allow the Power Device Network Utility access through the firewall.

Settings menu (Shown in Figure 6.). [Tools=>Device Setup]. In the Device Network
Setting Menu, enter a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address to setup
the PDU device.

Advanced Settings
Timeout Settings
The Timeout Setting (Shown in Figure 8.). [Edit=>Timeout Settings] is used to
specify the wait time when scanning for network PDU devices. When there are many
devices on the local network, it may take extended periods of time to locate all the
devices. The timeout function is used to limit the search time.
The default setting is 3 seconds. Valid values are 3 to 60 seconds.
