Communication Configuration
Smart Distribution Panel with ATS 55
Local access to the control console
You can use a local computer that connects to the ATS through the console port on the ATS
monitoring unit to access the control console. If you are accessing the ATS on the local control
console, you will not receive any information about the generator.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the configuration cable (APC part number 940-0103) to connect the selected port to the
console port on the ATS monitoring unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal
®
) on your computer and configure the selected
port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, and save the changes.
4. Press
ENTER to display the User Name prompt.
5. Use apc for the User Name and Password.
6. See “Control console” on page 56 to finish the configuration.
Remote access to the control console
From any computer on the same subnet as the ATS, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address
to an ATS, and then use Telnet to access that ATS’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP
settings.
1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the ATS, and use the ATS’s MAC address in the ARP
command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for an ATS that has a MAC
address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following commands:
– Windows command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67
– LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67
2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the
IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands:
– Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113
Note
After an ATS has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP
and Ping, to access that ATS.
