Hello   Christian

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from the above provided description, I understand that you wish to connect 2 PDUs AP8659EU3 via the Network Port Sharing (NPS) in a Host and Guest environment.  If I have understood correct, then please ensure that you have the latest PDU Firmware Revision 6.4.0.  See following web link to download the latest firmware.

http://www.apc.com/uk/en/tools/download/download.cfm?sw_sku=SFRPDU2G640&software_id=MFOI-A6QPFE&fami...

The latest firmware upgrades the "AOS" to version 6.4.0 and the "rpdu2g" to version 6.4.0.

Please see the following FAQ on how to download/install/upgrade the firmware on your PDU.  See the section "Firmware executable - Network Management Card 1 and 2". NOTE: Your PDU contains the Network Management Card (NMC) version 2.
