How to Use the USB to RJ12 APC PDU Serial Converter Cable

Step 1: Hardware Setup

  1. Connect to Computer:
    • Plug the USB Type-A male connector into your laptop/PC’s USB port.
    • Ensure the cable is securely seated.
  2. Connect to APC PDU:
    • Insert the RJ12 6P6C jack plug into the APC PDU’s console port (labeled "DB9" or "RS232").
    • Push until it clicks to confirm a secure connection.

Step 2: Driver Installation

  • Windows:
    • Plug in the cable. Windows may auto-install drivers via Windows Update.
    • If prompted, allow driver installation.
    • Verify the port appears in Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT).
  • macOS:
  • Linux:
    • Drivers are pre-installed by default for most distributions.
    • Confirm the port at /dev/ttyUSB0 or similar.

Step 3: Configure Serial Software

  1. Choose a Terminal Emulator:
    • Windows: Tera Term, PuTTY.
    • macOS: CoolTerm, ZTerm.
    • Linux: Minicom, Screen.
  2. Set Serial Parameters:
    • Baud Rate: 9600 (default for APC PDUs).
    • Data Bits: 8.
    • Stop Bits: 1.
    • Parity: None.
    • Flow Control: None.
  3. Open the Port:
    • Select the COM port assigned to the cable (e.g., COM3 on Windows, /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux).

Step 4: Access APC PDU Interface

  1. Power On the PDU:
    • Ensure the APC PDU is powered and operational.
  2. Login to PDU Console:
    • Press Enter in the terminal to trigger the login prompt.
    • Use default credentials (e.g., admin/admin or refer to your PDU’s manual).
  3. Execute Commands:
    • Use APC’s CLI commands (e.g., show statusreboot outlet 1).

Troubleshooting Tips

  • No Connection:
    • Verify the cable is fully inserted into both devices.
    • Check the PDU’s console port label (ensure it’s RS232, not Ethernet).
  • Driver Issues:
    • Reinstall the FTDI driver for macOS/Linux.
    • On Windows, update drivers via Device Manager.
  • Communication Errors:
    • Confirm baud rate and parity settings match the PDU’s configuration.
    • Try a shorter cable or shielded cable if EMI interference is suspected.

Safety Notes

  • Power Off: Disconnect the PDU from the mains before modifying connections.
  • Avoid Overload: Do not use the cable for non-APC devices unless specified.
  • Firmware Updates: Keep the PDU’s firmware updated for compatibility.
