Connect the ePDU to a Computer
You must connect the ePDU to a computer to configure it. This is done by means of a
serial connection between the ePDU and the computer. If you plan to use this
connection to log into the CLP command line interface, leave the cable connected
after the configuration is complete.
The computer must have a communications program such as HyperTerminal
t,
Kermit, or PuTTy. You also need the null modem cable and connectors that were
shipped with the ePDU.
1. Take the null modem cable and connect the end with the RJ−45 connector to the
port labeled Serial" on the front of the ePDU (see Figure 9 through Figure 11).
