 Network Connectivity
cOMMUNICATION mANAGEMENT network communication configuration
Eaton ePDU G3HD power distribution products have an ePDU Network Management The network connection automatically receives an IP address through the Dynamic Host You can also connect up to four ePDUs together using the Daisy Chain port and an RJ-45 splitter
and Control (eNMC) module that manages the ePDU communication interfaces. Configuration Protocol (DHCP) if available on the network. If a DHCP is enabled but a DHCP (provided). This enables multiple ePDUs to communicate over one Ethernet port. Refer to the
Basic network communication configuration must be performed before the Web or server is not available, the eNMC will fall back to the last-used IP address setting. Alternately, it is Eaton ePDU G3 operation manual for detailed instructions. View the operation manual online at:
Command Line Interface (CLI) user interfaces can be accessed and used. This sheet possible to set a static IP address by using either the LCD menu or a serial connection command http://www.eaton.com/ePDU
describes how to set eNMC parameters and enable the module. line interface (CLI).
Groups of Eaton ePDU G3HD models can be configured or updated with new firmware The default settings are: DHCP: Enabled IP Address: 192.168.123.123 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.123.1 Username: admin Password: admin
at the same time using Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM). The IPM software is
available separately at no cost for up to 10 devices.

Setup using a serial connection — static ip address
Use the RJ45-to-DB9 serial cable that is provided. If your computer does not have a DB9 (RS-232) connector, a USB-to-RS-232 adapter can be purchased separately. Access the CLI using a terminal
4 Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Port emulation program such as HyperTerminal®, PuTTY, or TeraTerm. To set up the serial port using your selected terminal emulation program, use the following settings:
Green Ethernet Port LED: Operation Transfer Rate Status Bits per second: 9600 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: None
5 OFF: Port operating at 10 Mbits/s
ON: Port operating at 100 Mbits/s
After establishing a serial connection, perform the following steps:
Yellow Ethernet Port LED: Connection and Transmission Activity Status
OFF: ePDU not connected to the network 1. In the terminal emulator session window, enter the default user name (admin) at the login 5. Set the IP address to a value provided by your system administrator.
6 ON: ePDU connected to the network, but no activity prompt. For example: PDU#0>set System.Network.IPAddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
FLASHING: Port is sending or receiving (transmission active) Enter Login: admin xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Enter Password:
Reset Button 6. If necessary, set the network Subnet Mask to the value required by your system administrator.
