Warning: These are very raw notes.

Tested against a Raritan PX2-5260R.

Reset to defaults

 Note: You must connect to the PDU using the RS232 (DB9) port. The USB port shuts down as part of the reset process and you'll not be able to factory reset!
  1. Connect to the RS232 port using: [screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200] (or your serial port device path is)
  2. Using pin, press the recessed 'Reset' switch and then immediately start pressing <esc> on your keyboard until the: [=> _] prompt appears.
  3. Enter: [defaults] and the system will reset to factory defaults. Be patient! It takes a couple of minutes.
  4. Log in with the default user name: [admin] and the default password: [raritan].
  5. Once logged in, you will be prompted to enter a new password.

Configure an IP address

You use either a standard USB A/B cable or a standard RS232 serial cable plugged into the DB9 port.

  • With the B-side plugged into the PDU and the A-side connected to you computer. With will appear as: [/dev/ttyASM0] on linux with no further driver needed. Connect with: [screen /dev/ttyASM0] (no baud rate needs to be set).
  • With the RS232 DB9 cable, use your serial device's address (ie: '/dev/ttyUSB0', '/dev/tty0', etc) to connect using: [screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200] (note that the baud rate must be set).
  1. Log into the PDU
  2. Enter: [config]
  3. Enter: [network ipv4 ipConfigurationMode static ipAddress 10.20.2.1 subnetMask 255.255.0.0 gateway 10.20.255.254 primaryDNSServer 8.8.8.8 secondaryDNSServer 8.8.4.4]
  4. Enter: [apply]
  5. Enter: [reset unit]

The unit will reboot and then you can log into the UI.

Note: You must connect using 'https' on port 443! (ie: https://10.20.2.1). It does not listen for a connection on standard http'.
