Automatic Transfer Switch - Installation and Quick Start 7
Quick Configuration
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
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 8.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 8.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 10.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 15.)
Warning
Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC InfraStruXure
Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Manager’s
documentation for more information.
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.
