Connecting the PDU
2-2 Connect the input plug to your facility’s
compatible AC power source.
2-3 Both models contain 3 banks of output
receptacles. PDU3VSR (3 banks of 7
C13s and 1 C19). PDU3VN (3 banks
of 10 C13s and 2 C19s). Connect
your equipment’s input plugs to the
appropriate outlets on the PDU. On the
Switched models, the LED near each
outlet illuminates when the outlet is
ready to distribute live AC power.
Note: It is recommended that you do not
connect a live load to the PDU. If the load
you intend to connect has an ON/OFF
switch, please turn the switch to OFF prior to
connection.
2-4 (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 each cord can be unplugged from
the PDU without removing the cable tie.
Installation
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.
If your network’s DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the PDU automatically, go
to Step 3-1 . 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 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. The PDU
will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
This may take as long as several minutes,
depending on your network environment.
Some Models Will Vary.

Installation
Dynamic IP Address Assignment
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 identied 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 the IP address, skip Steps 4-1 through 4-6 and proceed directly
to Step 5-1 .
3-3 Alternate Method: Press and hold Button B on the Digital Load Meter (see page 8) for 4
seconds to display the IP Address. The default is no address assigned. If this is the case,
“no address” will display one letter at a time. If there is an IP Address programmed, the
address will display 1 digit at a time with dashes (-) representing dots or periods (.).
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: 9600 Stop bits: 1
Data bits: 8 Flow Control: None
Parity: None
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 RJ-45 to DB9 conguration cable
(part number 73-1243) included with
the PDU to connect the PDU to the
computer. The connector at one end of
the cable attaches to the CONFIG RJ-45
port on the PDU. The DB9 connector at
the other end of the cable connects to
the computer’s serial port.
4-4 Press SNMP Reset Button: Press the
reset button for 3 seconds to reboot the
PDU’s network card. Rebooting the
network card will not erase network
settings or interrupt AC power.

Static IP Address Assignment
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 congure your PDU.
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 specic purpose.) After you have nished 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.
4-6 Remove Serial Cable: Remove the serial cable from the PDU and proceed to Step 5-1 .
Network Connection
5-1 Connect PDU to Network: While the
PDU is powered, connect a standard
Ethernet patch cable to the RJ-45
