6. Initial Setup
Before the MasterSwitch
™
can operate over the network it needs to
have certain address values defined. These values can be set (config-
ured) by a BOOTP server (the MasterSwitch
™
comes with BOOTP
enabled) or by using a terminal (or terminal emulator) connected to
the 9-pin configuration port on the front panel of the MasterSwitch
™
.
NOTE: Refer to the MasterSwitch
™
- User’s Guide for information on the initial
configuration of the MasterSwitch
™
. A copy of this guide, in portable data
format is provided on the diskette that came with the MasterSwitch
™
.
In addition, if you want to use SNMP to configure and control the
MasterSwitch
™
, you will need to load and compile APC’s Master-
Switch-MIB at any network management station (NMS) you will use
for SNMP control of the MasterSwitch
™
.
NOTE: The MasterSwitch-MIB is provided on the diskette that came with the
MasterSwitch
™
. See the documentation for the NMS you want to use this
MIB for instructions on loading and compiling MIBs.
