ENGLISH
The iPDU is provided with a serial port that enables users to configure and control the system through the PC’s RS-232 serial (COM)
port. Use the serial cable provided to connect the console port to the PC’s COM port as described in Connecting the Console
on page 13. This section describes how to use a console application to control the iPDU and configure its settings such as the IP
address, outlet control parameters, access control table, and trap receivers table.
4.1. Using HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal is a console application in Windows that enables users to configure or control a device through command line param-
eters. Users can configure the iPDU parameters and its outlets through simple numerical commands from a PC keyboard. Users can
also use Telnet or any other console application to control the device in a similar manner.
