eco PDU PE Series User Manual

24

First Time Setup

Once the eco PDU installation has been cabled up, the next task the 
Administrator needs to perform involve configuring the network parameters, 
changing the default Super Administrator login settings, and adding users. 

The easiest way to accomplish this is to log in over the Net with a browser.

Note:

1. Since this is the first time you are logging in, use the default 

Username: 

administrator

; and the default Password: 

password

. For 

security purposes we recommend changing them to something unique 
(see 

Changing the Administrator Login

, page 26).

2. For remote methods of getting logged in to the network, see 

IP 

Address Determination

, page 99.

After you successfully log in, the eco PDU Outlet Access/Connections page 
appears:

Note:

Operation details are discussed in 

Outlet Access

, page 30, in the next 

chapter. For further setup information, continue with this chapter
