Getting Started

The Power Device Network Utility scans the network for devices with MAC 

addresses that match CyberPower network hardware. Once found, the device(s) 

can then be figured with a specific IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. 

This allows the device(s) to function properly on the network and interface with 

CyberPower Management Console.

Step 1. Select the appropriate PDU device from the Equipment List (Shown in Figure 4.).

Note: 

If the PDU does not appear on the list, click the Refresh button to rescan the 

network. If it still does not appear, ensure that the PDU is turned on and was 

installed correctly. 

Launch Program

To launch the Power Device Network Utility and get started, select Programs from the 

Start menu in Windows and locate the new folder and icons for Power Device 

Network Utility. Select Power Device Network Utility from the program folder (Shown
