5.2.1 Set the IP Address for the RPC2
The RPC2 and the RPC BDM may be used on a network or on stand-alone rack PDU’s. Either mode
requires initializing the RPC2 with an IP address before the RPC BDM can display data.
Follow the appropriate steps to initialize the RPC2 in a networked or stand-alone environment. Refer
to Figure 25 for location of ports on the RPC2.
Figure 25 Liebert RPC ports for use with RPC BDM
To Initialize Emerson’s RPC2 in a Network Environment:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Network Port to the network.
2. Obtain an IP address for the RPC2:
a. If DHCP is used, the Network Port port will receive an IP address automatically.
b. If DHCP is not used:
• Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Expansion/Management port to a laptop.
• Assign a static IP address to the Network Port port, then click Restart to initialize the
RPC2, as described in 2.3 - Configure an RPC2 Communications Module for Static
IP.
To Initialize Liebert RPC in Stand-Alone Mode (Non-Networked):
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Link Port to a laptop.
2. Assign a static IP address to the LAN port, then click restart to initialize the RPC2, as described
in 2.3 - Configure an RPC2 Communications Module for Static IP.
After the RPC2 is initialized, the IP address may be viewed on the RPC BDM. Proceed to 5.2.2 -
Connect the RPC BDM to the RPC2 Communications Module to connect the RPC2
communications module to the RPC BDM.
5.2.2 Connect the RPC BDM to the RPC2 Communications Module
To connect the RPC BDM to an RPC2 communications module:
• Connect one end of the factory-supplied Ethernet cable into the RPC BDM port.
• Connect the other end of the cable into the display port of the RPC2.
Once the PDU is turned On with these connections made, the RPC BDM is fully operational.
5.3 Placement of the RPC BDM
™
The RPC BDM may be mounted in various locations inside a rack for easy access and viewing. It may
also be hand-held and used as a portable device for connecting to different rack PDU’s.
The unit may be rotated for vertical or horizontal display, as described in 5.1 - Orientation of the
RPC BDM.
