INTELLIGENT PDU USER MANUAL
Section 1 – System Overview
PDU Controller
All Panduit G5 Intelligent PDUs feature a Rotatable or Hot Swappable PDU Controller.
This centralized piece of intelligent hardware receives an IP address, contains a
Graphical Web Interface and is addressable over the network.
Connecting the PDU via Ethernet Port
Connecting the PDU to a LAN provides communication through an Internet or Intranet
connection enabling monitoring and control over the intelligent power distribution unit.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the PDU (see Figure 1).
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the router (or another
LAN device).

From the factory the PDU defaults to DHCP and HTTPS connection. If you are
connected to a network with a DHCP server, the PDU automatically receives an IP
address and will display it on the OLED screen. If there is no DHCP server after several
minutes, the PDU defaults to IP address is 192.168.0.1, which will be displayed on the
PDU OLED screen. If the network cable is unplugged and plugged back in, the PDU
will restart the DHCP server search process.
