Leg
and PDU User Guide 25
Important: Supported 802.11 network protocols vary according to the wireless LAN adapter being used with the
Legrand PDU. See USB Wireless LAN Adapters (on page 24).
Dual Ethernet Connection
A Legrand PDU has two Ethernet (LAN) ports. Both ports support up to 100 Mbps.
For more information on the two ports, see Connection Port Functions (on page 56).
You can conn
ect both ports to different subnets (networks) and therefore obtain two IP addresses for wired
networking. It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT connect both ports to the same subnet to avoid
potential issues. Contact your IT department if you are not sure whether the two Ethernet ports are
connecting to the same or different subnets.
Exception: A USB-cascading chain must connect to "only one" network. Do NOT connect both Ethernet ports
of any Legrand master or slave device to the LAN. See Cascading Multiple Legrand PDUs for Sharing
Ethernet Connectivity (on page 32).
Check list when connecting both ports to the networks:
Both Ethernet interfaces are connecting to different subnets.
Both Ethernet interfaces have been enabled. By default both are enabled. See Device Info (on page 70)
and Etherne
t Interface Settings (on page 143).
Both Ethernet interfaces ar
e configured with proper IPv4 and/or IPv6 settings. See Wired Network
Settings (on page 141).
It is NOT required that the two Ethern
et interfaces share similar network settings. For example, you
can enable IPv4 settings in one interface but enable IPv6 settings in the other, or apply static IP to
one but DHCP IP to the other.
The cascading mode is disabled. By default it is disabled. See Setting the Cascading Mode (on page
150).
Configuring the Legrand PDU
You can initially configure the Legrand PDU via one of the following:
A TCP/IP network that supports DHCP
A mobile device with PDView installed
A computer physically connected to the Legrand PDU
Configuration via a DHCP-enabled network:
1. Connect the Legrand PDU to a DHCP IPv4 network. See Connecting the Legrand PDU to Your
Network (on page 23).
2. Retrie
ve the DHCP-assigned IPv4 address. Use the front panel LCD display to retrieve it. See Device
Info (on page 70).
3. Launch a
web browser to configure the Legrand PDU. See Login (on page 79).
Configura
tion via a connected mobile device:
1. Download the PDView app to your mobile device. See Connecting a Mobile Device to Legrand PDU
(on page 26).
2. Conn
ect the mobile device to Legrand PDU via USB.
3. Launch PDView to configure the Legrand PDU.
Configuration via a connected computer:
1. Connect the Legrand PDU to a computer. See Connecting the Legrand PDU to a Computer (on page
30).
2. Use the conn
ected computer to configure the Legrand PDU via the command line or web interface.
Command line interface: See Initial Network Configuration via CLI (on page 486).
