PDU Network Daisy Chain
PDU Network Daisy Chain
The daisy-chain function allows up to four PDUs to be connected together to be monitored and
controlled from one IP address.
When PDUs are connected, two roles are defined: Host and Guest. Up to three Guest PDUs can be
connected to one Host PDU. The Guest PDUs will be recognized by serial number and their order
within the daisy-chain.
Note: To perform the daisy-chain function, the firmware version of the connected PDUs needs to be
the same (v1.08 or above).
How to connect the PDUs together?
Use one Ethernet cable and connect one end of it to the daisy-chain (Out) port on the Host PDU and
the other end to the daisy-chain (In/ENV) port on the Guest 1 PDU to connect the PDUs (as shown
below).
