Figure 11. Connecting the PDU to a LAN
Connecting Two PDUs in a Daisy Chain
Two PDUs can be chained together using an Ethernet cable between the Daisy Chain ports located on the front
panel. This allows access to the PDU data of both PDUs from the same network connection. The PDUs are
defined as the Host or the Device. Configure the PDUs using the LCD or the CLI interfaces. Monitor the PDUs
using the CLI interface or the Web interface.
To connect two PDUs in a Daisy Chain communication configuration:
1.
Locate an Ethernet cable (provided).
2.
Connect one end of the cable to the Daisy Chain connector on one PDU. Connect the other end of the
cable to the Daisy Chain connector on the other PDU. See Figure 12 for the Daisy Chain connector
location on the front panel of each model type.
