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.
If your network's DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the PDU automatically, go to
Step

Dynamic IP Address Assignment
3-1
Connect PDU to Network:
While the
