PDU Network Daisy Chain
Will the Status Records of the Guest PDUs logged in the Host PDU be cleared if the Guest PDUs are
disconnected from the Host PDU?
Yes, once the Guest PDUs are removed, the Status Records logged in the Host PDU will be cleared.
As long as the Host PDU does not connect to other PDUs, the Status Records of the disconnected
PDU can be displayed when it is re-connected to the Host PDU. If the Host PDU connects to different
PDUs, the Status Records of the removed PDU will be entirely cleared.
Are the Guest PDUs able to connect to the network when they are daisy-chained?
Yes, even when the PDUs are daisy-chained, the Guest PDUs are able to connect to the network
directly. Note that a Guest PDU will require having its own Ethernet cable connected to the network.
What will happen if a 5th PDU is added to a daisy-chain?
The maximum number of PDUs that can be connected in one daisy-chain is 4. The daisy-chain
functionality will not work until the fifth PDU is removed.
What is the maximum recommended length of the Ethernet cable to daisy-chain the PDUs?
50 ft (15 m)
