Quick Start: Network Management Card – DC Series 3
Quick Configuration
BOOTP
configuration
You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure
the TCP/IP settings that the Management Card needs. The
BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured BOOTP
server is available to provide the TCP/IP settings.
1. Make sure that the BOOTP setting, a TCP/IP option in
the Management Card’s Network menu, is enabled.
2. Enter the Management Card’s MAC and IP addresses,
the subnet mask and default gateway settings, and,
optionally, a bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of
the BOOTP server.
3. When the Management Card reboots, the BOOTP server
provides it with the TCP/IP settings:
– If you specified a bootup file name, the Management
Card attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP
server using TFTP or FTP. The Management Card
assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
– If you did not specify a bootup file name, the
Management Card can be configured remotely by
using Telnet or by using the Web interface: The user
name and password are both apc, by default.
If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC
Management Card Wizard” on page 2, “Local
access to the control console” on page 4, or
“Remote access to the control console” on page 6
to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

To obtain the MAC address, see the label on
the bottom of the Management Card, the
Quality Assurance slip shipped with the
System Controller, or the About System from
the System menu when using a serial
connection to the Management Card, as
described in “Local access to the control
console” on page 4.

Use the APC Management Card Wizard or
the APC initialization (*.ini) text-to-binary
configuration (*.cfg) conversion utility, i2c,
to create the bootup file. See the BOOTP
section in the Management Card
Addendum (.\doc\en\addendum.pdf).
