Sorry but I have a question.

When you say "I want to connect with several different IP addresses. There is option to do it?" Are you saying

1. that you want to connect to the PDU FROM several different IP address? Like you have the PDU in one location and people from other locations want to connect to it?

2. Are you saying that you want to the PDU itself to have several different IP addresses?

If #1 is true then sure all you need to do is give the PDU an IP address subnet mask and gateway on its local network. From there baring any firewall blocks then anyone can connect to the PDU given that they have the log in information. You can also set different users to different abilitites like administrator that can do anything on the PDU. Device viewers that can see and make some changes. and lastly readonly which can see what the PDU is doing but make no changes.

If #2 is correct the answer is no and I ask why you would want to

The reason that i am is asking is becouse i am trying to reach thd pdu from 2 diff device paralel and somtimes i get pipe broken.where i need to configure the gateway?

The gateway should be set to the devices local LAN gateway. From there unless there is firewall blocks you should be able to reach the PDU from any device. That said sometimes if you have two different connections at the same time both trying to make changes or the like then the system may get hung for a second.

May I ask why you are trying to control or use the web interface of the PDU from 2 locations at the same time?

i have 2 processes that install on 2 diff devices and they are running parallel and sometimes they are trying to reach the PDU in the same time and i get broken pipe.

Why the solution is configure gateway?
