Required PDU configuration

Before connecting to the WNC, the IP Dongle and all PDUs must be properly configured:

Set PDU "level" for each PDU in the daisy-chain

Use the graphical display and the adjacent buttons to configure the PDU connected to the IP Dongle for "Level: 1", configure the next PDU for "Level: 2", etc.

Enable SNMP interface for the IP Dongle

• Use the web interface to enable SNMP support, so that the WNC is able to query the device readings

• Collect a laptop computer with ethernet port, and an ethernet cable

• Configure the laptop computer's ethernet port for these settings: IP 192.168.0.2 / Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 / Gateway 192.168.0.254

• Connect the ethernet cable between the laptop's ethernet port and the ethernet port on the IP Dongle

• Open an internet browser on the laptop and navigate to 192.168.0.1

• The default login is 00000000 (eight zeros) for the username and password

• Select the SNMP option in the left navigation pane

• Click Enable, then Apply

Refer to the Austin Hughes user manuals for the PDU and/or IP Dongle (links above) for more information.
