Procedure
1.
Connect the PDU to a computer serial port, and then set the baud rate for a terminal program.

The Ethernet LED on the PDU front panel indicates the communication status by color and display activity.
The recessed Reset button restarts the PDU.
Setting up serial communication
You can configure network settings using a serial connection between the PDU and a laptop computer. You
can use the optional RJ45-DB9 cable or you can make your own cable by creating a unique pinout. For more
information, see
Serial cable pinout to create your own cable
.
Procedure
1.
Verify that the computer has a serial port.
If your computer does not have a DB9 serial connector, but has a USB connector, obtain a USB-to-DB9
adapter to convert the computer USB port to a DB9 serial port.
2.
Using the optional RJ45-DB9 cable, connect the RJ-45 end to the port labeled RS485-1 on the front
panel of the PDU and then connect the DB9 end of the cable to the serial port on the computer.
3.
Open the terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal or PuTTY) on the computer and select the serial port
connection (such as COM1).
4.
Set the communications port.
