Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
Wiki > The Backend System > Specific Device IOC > Power-Distribution-Unit-(PDU)
A PDU, or Power Distribution Unit, is a large power strip with multiple power outlets to supply electricity to a number of attached devices. They may or may not have surge protection. Advanced PDUs provide surge protection, real-time monitoring and remote access.
The Lindy PDU has been implemented on IBEX GUI using an IOC that uses the SNMP interface to view, monitor and update outlets. There are 8 outlets on the strip and they can be individually turned on or off from IBEX. Lindy also comes with a web interface and there is also separate configuration software that can be downloaded if required from the web site, which would probably be needed to set a static IP address (however DHCP can be enabled via a button press - see below). To run on the IBEX the IP of the PDU is required to be configured on the IOC macros.

As described in the manual, you can press the function button on the device to see the IP address or change its mode between dhcp/static
Function Button:

c. Pressing the button and releasing it after 4 beeps changes the IP address mode from fixed to DHCP and vice versa.
d. Pressing the button and releasing it after 6 beeps restarts the network interface.
