Configuring the Serial Port
You can change the bit rate of the serial port labeled CONSOLE on the Legrand PDU. The default bit rate for
console operation is 115200 bps.
The Legrand PDU supports using the following devices via the serial interface:
A computer for console management.

You can set diverse bit-rate settings for console operations. Usually the Legrand PDU can detect the device
type, and automatically apply the preset bit rate.
The Legrand PDU will indicate the detected device in the Port State section of the Serial Port page.

2. Click the Console Baud Rate field to select the baud rate intended for console management.
Note: For a serial RS-232 or USB connection between a computer and the Legrand PDU, leave it at the
default (115200 bps).
