  • Page 32: Configuring The Dominion Px

    There are two alternatives to initially configure a Dominion PX device:  Connect the Dominion PX device to a computer to configure it, using a serial connection between the Dominion PX and the computer. The computer must have a communications program such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.
  • Page 33: Connecting The Dominion Px To Your Network

    Connecting the Dominion PX to Your Network To use the web interface to administer the Dominion PX, you must connect the Dominion PX device to your local area network (LAN).
  • Page 34: Initial Network And Time Configuration

    After the Dominion PX device is connected to your network, you must provide it with an IP address and some additional networking information. To configure the networking parameters: 1. Go to the computer that you connected to the Dominion PX device and open a communications program such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.
  • Page 35 Note: If you ever accidentally create a rule that locks you out of the Dominion PX, you can rerun the configuration program and reset this parameter to disabled to allow you to access the Dominion PX device. 8. Press Enter. You are prompted to set the LAN interface speed.
  • Page 36 10. By default, the LAN interface duplex mode is set to auto, which allows the system to pick the optimum mode. Half duplex allows data to be transmitted to and from the Dominion PX device, but not at the same time. Full duplex allows data to be transmitted in both directions at the same time.

  • Page 70: Naming The Dominion Px Device

    Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Naming the Dominion PX Device By default, the Dominion PX has a device name of its serial number. You may want to give it a more recognizable name for identification. The PDU's default host name is identical to the device name. Assign a different host name if necessary.
  • Page 71: Modifying The Network Settings

    SNMP system name. However, the SNMP system name becomes inconsistent with the device name when the device name is changed. To make both names identical, you must restart the Dominion PX device or restart the SNMP agent after changing the device name in the web interface.
  • Page 72 As Internet communications are carried out on the basis of IP addresses, appropriate DNS server settings are required for mapping domain names (host names) to corresponding IP addresses, or the Dominion PX may fail to connect to the given host.
  • Page 73: Modifying The Network Service Settings

    Note: Telnet access is disabled by default because it communicates openly and is thus insecure. You can also set a bandwidth limit, and enable or disable the Raritan Setup Protocol. To configure network communication services: 1. Choose Device Settings > Network. The Network Settings page opens.

    Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Monitoring Unbalanced Loads In a three-phase Dominion PX device, a load imbalance occurs when the current on a line differs from the average current of all three lines. The largest absolute difference in current is expressed as a percentage of the average current.
