Communication Configuration
52 Smart Distribution Panel with ATS
Configuration overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the ATS can operate on a network:
• IP address of the ATS (only needed for manual address assignment)
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the ATS:
• Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 53.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 55.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 55.)
Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the Device IP Configuration Wizard on a Windows NT
®
, Windows 2000, or Windows
XP computer to discover unconfigured ATS systems and configure their basic TCP/IP settings.
1. Insert the InfraStruXure Power Generation System Utility CD into a computer on your network.
2. Launch the Wizard, when prompted, or, if prompted to restart the computer, access the Wizard
from the Start menu after the computer has restarted.
3. Wait for the Wizard to discover the first unconfigured ATS, then follow the on-screen
instructions.
Note
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located
on the same subnet as the ATS and that is usually running. The ATS uses the default
gateway to test the network when traffic is very light. See “Watchdog Features” in
the “Introduction” of the InfraStruXure Power Generation System’s online Network
Management User’s Guide for more information about the watchdog role of the
default gateway.
