Use Case
Requirements
• A fully configured PDU with an active ethernet connection
• A PC with Putty software (download it here) and an active ethernet connection
• Device with a console port (ie: a Cisco switch)
• A female DB9 to console cable
How to
• Install Putty
• Connect the cable between the PDU's 1st RS232 port and the device's console port
• Make sure the PDU and PC are on the same subnet and are switched on
• Open Putty and enter the following:
o Connection Type: Telnet
o Host name: the PDU's IP address (ie: 192.168.14.250)
o Port: the default port for RS232 connector 1 is 2001 (can be changed at the Web Portal's
Serial page)
• Press "Open"
• You will be asked for login credentials, the default values are:
Login: admin
Password: 1234
• Many devices require that you press the Enter key a few times before anything can be seen.
You are now connected to the device's console port through ethernet. Up to 4 devices can be
connected to the PDU's RS232 connectors.
