Using Walkabout to Assign the Initial IP Address to the Ultripower
Once the Ultripower is physically installed and cabled to your facility network, you will need to assign it an initial
static IP Address to enable DashBoard to locate it on your network. Establishing an initial IP Address enables
DashBoard to communicate with the Ultripower and update the Basic Tree View with the Ultripower nodes.

1. Launch DashBoard.
2. From the DashBoard client main toolbar, select File > Show Walkabout.
The DashBoard window displays the Walkabout table.
3. Click
Refresh, located at the bottom of the Walkabout tab, to ensure the list in the Walkabout interface is
current.
4. In the Walkabout table, find the entry for the Ultripower you want to configure.
5. Use the Name field to assign a unique identifier to the Ultripower. This will be the name displayed in the Tree
View of DashBoard.
After you edit a cell in the Walkabout table, the Connection/Link Quality value for the device reports 1%. It is
recommended to wait approximately 1 minute, then click
Refresh to apply the new settings.
6. Use the Address field to specify the IP Address supplied by your IT Department for this device.
7. Ensure the Netmask field is set to match your network requirements.
8. Use the Gateway field to specify the IP Address for connection outside of the local area network (LAN).

used to monitor the status of the power supplies.
