location and ensure it is secure.

Connecting Power

Use the included power cable to connect the PDU 8 to an outlet with
adequate current capacity. The AC input socket is on the rear panel. Once the
power cable is connected, move the integrated retaining clamp into position to
hold the power cable firmly and prevent accidental disconnection.

n NOTE: The built-in power supply is compatible only with

120VAC at 60Hz.

n NOTE: The PDU 8 is rated for 12A maximum continuous load, and

15A maximum peak load. Do not exceed these limits with the
combined consumption of all powered devices. Use only the
included power supply cord.

Connecting Ethernet

Connect the PDU 8 to your network with a standard Ethernet cable. Install
the provided RF choke on your Ethernet cable as closely as possible to the
connector going into
the PDU 8.

n NOTE: Luxul recommends at least Category 5 unshielded twisted

pair (CAT5 UTP) cabling, but shielded cable (STP) is ideal for
this application.

Access and Setup

Getting Connected

If the PDU 8 isn’t already powered, power on the PDU. The PDU 8 is con­figured to use DHCP. Once initialized, the PDU will power on the switched
outlets in sequence and obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on
the network.

Using a computer or mobile device, log in to a router on the network and
locate the PDU 8 in the router’s DHCP client reservation table. Alternately,
you may also use a remote management system, IP scanner or a similar
tool to find the PDU 8 on the network and determine its IP address. The
PDU 8 can be identified by its DHCP client name, which will look like
“PDU-08-78083E,” where the last half of the name represents the last three
octects of the device’s MAC address. Once you locate it, make a
note of the IP address. If the PDU 8 fails to find a DHCP server the unit
will default to the IP address 192.168.0.6

Logging In

To access the PDU 8 web UI, use a web browser on a computer or mobile
device on the same network as the PDU 8. In the address field, enter the IP
address you determined in the previous step, then log in to
the PDU 8 using the default username and password:

Username: admin
Password: admin

Select the menu items to view and/or modify the configuration. For
more guidance on setup and configuration, refer to the product support
resources at luxul.com.
