Access and Setup
Getting Connected
If the PDU 8 isn’t already powered, power on the PDU. The PDU 8 is con-
figured to use DHCP. Once initialized, the PDU will power on the switched
outlets in sequence and obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on
the network.
Using a computer or mobile device, log in to a router on the network and
locate the PDU 8 in the router’s DHCP client reservation table. Alternately,
you may also use a remote management system, IP scanner or a similar
tool to find the PDU 8 on the network and determine its IP address. The
PDU 8 can be identified by its DHCP client name, which will look like
“PDU-08-78083E,” where the last half of the name represents the last three
octects of the device’s MAC address. Once you locate it, make a
note of the IP address. If the PDU 8 fails to find a DHCP server the unit
will default to the IP address 192.168.0.6
Logging In
To access the PDU 8 web UI, use a web browser on a computer or mobile
device on the same network as the PDU 8. In the address field, enter the IP
address you determined in the previous step, then log in to
the PDU 8 using the default username and password:
Username: admin
Password: admin
Select the menu items to view and/or modify the configuration. For
more guidance on setup and configuration, refer to the product support
