Automatic Transfer Switch Installation and Quick Start6

Quick Configuration

Note: Disregard the procedures in this section if you have StruxureWare as part of your system. See the

StruxureWare documentation for more information.

Overview

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Automatic Transfer Switch can operate on

a network:

• IP address of the Automatic Transfer Switch

• Subnet mask

• Default gateway

Note: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the

same subnet as the Automatic Transfer Switch and that is usually running. The Automatic

Transfer Switch uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light. See

“Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the Automatic Transfer Switch User’s Guide for

more information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.

TCP/IP configuration methods

Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the Automatic Transfer

Switch:

• Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 7.)

• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 7.)

• Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 12.)

• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 13.)
