Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the
APC Network Management Card can operate on a network:
• IP address of the Management Card
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
TCP/IP
configuration
methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings
needed by the Management Card:
• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “APC Device
IP Configuration Wizard” on page 12.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP
configuration” on page 12.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the control
console” on page 15.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control
console” on page 15.)
Note
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP
address of a computer that is located on the
same subnet as the Management Card and that
is usually running. The Management Card uses
the default gateway to test the network when
traffic is very light.
Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as
the default gateway address for the
Management Card. It disables the card and
requires you to reset TCP/IP settings to their
defaults using a local serial login.
