Will resetting the PDU power cycle the outlets?
If you reset your PDU using “nwset” or “Restart network”, your device outlets will maintain their power
state through a reset.
Why am I getting a 414 error when accessing the PDU webpage from a domain name?
Depending on the PDU model, the longest allowable domain name is no longer than 15 characters. Be
sure to clear all cookies and cache. If a previous left cookie exceeds a certain length, a 414 error can
happen. To fix this, clear all cookies and cache on your browser/http client.
Is there a programmable API / Scripting support?
There is a programmable HTTP API you can utilize for any scripting needs from an external source. You
can access them through any programming language that can receive and issue HTTP requests. Visit
our GitHub for code examples. Additionally, you can utilize telnet/serial inside scripts to create
programmable functions for the device.
How do I operate the yellow “Manual Switch” button on the PDU?
Most netBooter DU models with more than 2 ports have a yellow button on the face of the PDU that
allows you to manually control outlet power state.
Pressing this button once will go into “selection” mode, where the LED for a given power outlet will start
blinking. If the LED is blinking, this means you have currently selected that given outlet. Each time you
press the Manual Switch button, you will go to the next outlet.
In order to change the power state once a given outlet is selected, hold down the Manual Switch button
for 3 seconds. You should hear a click, and the outlet state will flip.
