Using the IPv4 Default Address Configuration
Dynamically obtaining the IPv4 address from the DHCP server, or obtaining the IPv4 address configuration
using manual entry are not the only ways to connect to the ePDU and access the Web interface.
A default IPv4 address can also be used to connect to the ePDU and the Web interface. This can occur
automatically or by manual entry.
Automatic default address configuration occurs as follows:
If a DHCP server is not available or not installed, the Network Management Card attempts several times
within 1.5 minutes to reach a DHCP server. If these attempts are unsuccessful, the default address is
automatically configured since the DHCP server failed to perform a dynamic IPv4 address configuration.
To manually enter the default address:
1.
Access a Web browser.
2.
Type the default address in the address bar:
http://192.168.123.123
The Web interface opens with the ePDU Overview (Home) page.
Obtaining the IPv6 Address
Before obtaining the IPv6 address, you must configure IPv6 either using auto-configuration or manually for
networks that do not allow auto-configuration.
1.
Verify that the serial cable is connected between the ePDU serial (RS-232) port and the PC COM port.
2.
Use a PC terminal emulator program such as HyperTerminal with the following settings:
- Baud rate (bits per second) = 9600
- Data bits = 8
- Stop bits = 1
- Parity = None
- Flow control = None
3.
Disable the “Echo typed characters locally” option.

NOTE
You can also use the Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) software utility to view the
card’s IP address. IPM must be installed on a network-connected PC. The tool is
available at http://powerquality.eaton.com/Support/Software-Drivers.
