Appendix A: PDU Network Daisy Chain
The daisy-chain function allows up to four PDUs to be connected together to be
monitored and controlled from one IP address.
When PDUs are connected, two roles are defined: Host and Guest. Up to three Guest
PDUs can be connected to one Host PDU. The Guest PDUs will be recognized by serial
number and their order within the daisy-chain.
Note: To perform the daisy-chain function, the firmware version of the connected PDUs
needs to be the same (v1.08 or above).
How to connect the PDUs together?
Use one Ethernet cable and connect one end of it to the daisy-chain (Out) port on the
Host PDU and the other end to the daisy-chain (In/ENV) port on the Guest 1 PDU to
connect the PDUs (as shown below).
