Connecting the PDU
2-1 (Models with IEC power inlet only.) Select
models have a detachable power cord. Attach the
included power cord to the PDU by inserting the
C
A
A
IEC connector of the power cord into the IEC
B
power inlet located near the end of the PDU.
C
Use the included bracket to secure the power
cord connection.
Note: Optionally, a user-supplied power cord can be attached to the
PDU by connecting it to the IEC inlet. Do not attempt to attach a
user-supplied power cord unless it is certified to be compatible with
the input power source that will be used by the PDU.
B
2-1
A
B
2-2 (Optional - models with input plug adapter
only.) Select models include an input plug
adapter that converts the twist-lock input plug
to a straight-blade input plug. Attach the input
A
B
to the input plug if you wish
plug adapter
to plug the PDU into a compatible straight-
blade outlet.
2-2
2-3 Connect the input plug to a compatible AC
power outlet. If the PDU does not have a circuit
breaker, it should be provided with a branch-
rated over-current protection device that
matches the rated amperage of the PDU.
Note: The AC power source should not share a circuit with a
heavy electrical load.
2-3
A
2-4 Connect your equipment's input plugs
B
to the outlets of the PDU. The LED
C
near
B
each outlet illuminates when the outlet is ready
to distribute live AC power. The digital load
D
meter displays the total connected equipment
C
A
load in amps. (Select models provide additional
load data. See the Features section for more
information.)
D
Note: In order to minimize interference among connected
devices, connect each device to the nearest PDU outlet and coil
excess power cord length.
2-4
2-5 (Optional) If you attached the cord
retention bracket(s), tie each equipment power
cord to the retention bracket. Attach each cord
to the retention shelf by looping the cord and
securing it with one of the included cable ties
A . Make sure that each cord can be unplugged
from the PDU without removing the cable tie.

Networking the PDU
Note: The MAC address of the PDU (a 12-digit string in this format: 000667xxxxxx) is printed on a label attached to the PDU
enclosure. The MAC address is also printed on a label attached to the internal network card.
3-1
If your network's DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the PDU automatically, go to Step
.
If you will assign a static IP address to the PDU manually, go to Step 4-1. If you are uncertain which method
to use, contact your network administrator for assistance before continuing the installation process.
Dynamic IP Address Assignment
3-1 Connect PDU to Network: While the PDU is powered, connect a
A
standard Ethernet patch cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the PDU.
Note: This port is not compatible with PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.
A
The PDU will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP. This may take
as long as several minutes, depending on your network environment.
3-1
3-2 Discover IP Address: Contact your network administrator to determine which dynamic IP
address has been assigned to the PDU by the DHCP server. The PDU can be identified on the DHCP
server by referring to its MAC address. (The MAC address is a 12-digit string in this format:
000667xxxxxx. Refer to the MAC address label attached to the PDU.) You may wish to request a
long-term lease period for the IP address, depending on your application. After you have discovered
4-1
4-6
5-1
and proceed directly to Step
the IP address, skip Steps
through
.
Static IP Address Assignment
4-1 Determine IP Information: Before assigning a static IP address, you'll need to know the IP
address, gateway address and subnet mask. If you do not have this information, contact your network
administrator for assistance.
4-2 Configure Terminal Emulation Program: Open a VT100-compatible terminal emulation
®
®
program (such as the HyperTerminal program bundled with Microsoft Windows ) on a computer
with an available DB9 serial port. (A notebook computer may be the most convenient choice.) Set the
terminal emulation program to use the COM port that corresponds to the computer’s DB9 serial port.
Specify the parameters required to communicate with the PDU terminal interface:
Bits per second:
Data bits:
9600
8
None
Stop bits:
Flow control:
1
None
Parity:
If the terminal emulation program supports multiple emulation modes, you may also need to specify VT100 emulation.
4-3 Connect PDU to Computer: Use the mini-
DIN to DB9 serial cable (part number 73-1025)
A
included with the PDU to connect the PDU to
B
A
the computer. The circular connector at one
C
end of the cable attaches to the 8-pin mini-DIN
B
serial port on the PDU. (Align the connector
D
carefully to avoid damaging the pins.) The DB9
4-3
C
connector at the other end of the cable
D
connects to the computer's serial port
.
4-4 Connect PDU to Network: While the PDU
is powered, connect a standard Ethernet patch
A
A
cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the PDU.
Note: This port is not compatible with PoE (Power over
Ethernet) applications.

Networking the PDU continued
4-5 Configure PDU in Terminal Mode: After a
brief pause, an initialization page should appear in
the terminal emulation program. Press any key on
the keyboard within 10 seconds to change the
PDU settings. (If the 10-second period has
elapsed, you can reboot the PDU by powering
down completely and then restoring power.)
Follow the sequence of responses below in order
to assign an IP address to the PDU. The default
terminal mode root password is TrippLite. Sample
IP settings are shown - supply your own IP
information when you configure your PDU.
4-5
Press A to Accept the settings, or M to Modify? M
Enter the root password: *********
Reset configuration to default values (Y/N)? N
For each of the following questions, you can press <Return> to select the value shown in
braces, or you can enter a new value.
NETWORK INTERFACE PARAMETERS:
Should this target obtain IP settings from the network?[N] N
Static IP address [192.168.1.19]? 192.168.0.123
Static IP address is 192.168.0.123
Subnet Mask IP address [255.255.0.0]? 255.255.255.0
Subnet Mask IP address is 255.255.255.0
Gateway address IP address [192.168.1.1]? 192.168.0.1
Gateway address IP address is 192.168.0.1
You can also change the root password, real-time clock and other settings. (Tripp Lite recommends
against changing the default settings unless you are an advanced user with a specific purpose.) After you
have finished entering settings, the PDU will save changes to memory and reboot (this may take several
minutes). After the PDU reboots, the initialization page should display the new static IP settings.
5-1
4-6 Remove Serial Cable: Remove the serial cable from the PDU and proceed to Step
.
Testing Network Connection
5-1 Access PDU with Web Browser: After an
IP address has been assigned to the PDU,
attempt to access it with a Web browser that
™
supports frames, forms and Java . Open a Web
browser on a computer connected to the LAN
and enter the IP address assigned to the PDU.
You should be prompted for a password A . The
user name is admin and the default password is
A
admin. After you enter the user name and
B
password, the PowerAlert status page
will
appear in the browser window. For more
information about configuration and operation of
the PDU via the PowerAlert interface, refer to
the SNMPWEBCARD User's Guide, included
on the CD-ROM bundled with the PDU.
Note for Network Management System Users Only: Two MIB
files - Tripplite.mib and RFC1628.mib - must be loaded on each
Network Management Station that will monitor the PDU via
SNMP. The files are provided on the CD-ROM included in the
product package.

load for each outlet bank. Use the mode selection switch to
C
display the total load (all bank LEDs illuminated) or the load
for each outlet bank (corresponding bank LED illuminated).
Circuit Breaker (Select Models): If the connected equipment load
exceeds the Maximum Load Rating of the PDU, the circuit breaker
will trip. Disconnect excess equipment and allow the breaker to cool
before depressing the plunger to reset the breaker. Models with
multiple outlet banks have a circuit breaker for each bank.
