Alteeve Wiki :: How To :: Synaccess NP-0202DU |
This covers configuring a Synaccess NP-0202DU switched/metered PDU. Specifically, configuring it for use in an Anvil! cluster.
Configuring Via Serial
Serial Access
By default, the NP-0202DU has the default IP address 192.168.1.100 and the subnet mask <cpan class="code">255.255.0.0. If this causes a conflict or is otherwise inaccessible, you can use the serial interface to change (or reset) the IP address.
For this tutorial, we will change it to 10.201.2.1/16.

Note: The M3 Anvil! installs screen on both nodes and Striker dashboards. |
We're going to use a program called screen to talk to the PDU over the serial port.
To do this, you need to know what device the PDU's serial cable is plugged into. Some common ones:
| Type | Device path |
|---|---|
| Serial port 1 | /dev/ttyS0 |
| Serial port 2 | /dev/ttyS1 |
| USB-Connected port 1 | /dev/ttyUSB0 |
| USB-Connected port 2 | /dev/ttyUSB1 |
... and so on.
In my case, I'm using the port on a USB to Serial adapter, so I will use '/dev/ttyUSB0'.
Knowing this, we're ready to go!
Open a terminal window and run:
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 |
Note: When you are done, to exit screen, press '<ctrl>' + 'a', release, then press 'k'. You will be prompted to kill the session, type 'y'. |
The screen will be blank at first. Press '<enter>' a couple of times and the AP7900 login prompt should appear.
User Name : |
Note: If you make a mistake and nothing happens when you press '<Backspace>', try pressing 'ctrl' + 'h' instead. |
The default user name is 'apc' and the default password is 'apc' as well.
User Name : apc
Password : ***At this point, how you proceed depends on whether you now see the status page, or if you are prompted to change the password.
If you are asked to change the password, proceed under 'New Secured Firmware'. If you see the status, proceed to 'Old Firmware'
