1. Access Command Mode: The Outlet Managed PDU includes two separate
user interfaces; the Text Interface and the Web Browser Interface. The Text
Interface is available via Local PC, SNMP, SSH Client, Telnet, or Modem,
and the Web Browser interface is only available via TCP/IP network. In
addition, when contacted via PDA, the Outlet Managed PDU will also
present a third interface, which is similar to the Web Browser Interface, but
offers limited command functions.
a) Via Local PC: Start your communications program and then
press [Enter].
b) Via SSH Client: Start your SSH client, enter the default IP address
(192.168.168.168) for the Outlet Managed PDU and invoke the
connect command.
c) Via Web Browser: Make certain that Web Browser access is enabled
as described in the Section 5.9.2. Start your JavaScript enabled
Web Browser, enter the default Outlet Managed PDU IP address
(192.168.168.168) in the Web Browser address bar, and then
press [Enter].
d) Via Telnet: Make certain that Telnet access is enabled as described in
Section 5.9.2. Start your Telnet client, and enter the Outlet Managed
PDU’s default IP address (192.168.168.168).
e) Via Modem: Make certain that the Outlet Managed PDU’s serial
Console Port is congured for Modem Mode as described in Section 5.8,
then use your communications program to dial the number for your
external Modem connected to the Console Port.
2. Username / Password Prompt: A message will be displayed, which
prompts you to enter your username and password. The default username
is "super" (all lower case, no quotes), and the default password is also
"super". If a valid username and password are entered, the Outlet Managed
PDU will display either the Main Menu (Web Browser Interface) or the Port
Status Screen (SSH, Telnet, or Modem.)
3. Test Switching Functions: You may wish to perform the following tests
in order to make certain that the Outlet Managed PDU is responding to
commands. When switching and reboot commands are executed, the Outlet
Managed PDU’s Output Status LEDs will also turn On or Off to indicate the
status of each outlet.
