Device IP Configuration Wizard
Capabilities, Requirements, and Installation
How to use the Wizard to configure TCP/IP settings
The Device IP Configuration Wizard configures the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of one
or more Rack PDUs or network-enabled devices (devices containing an embedded APC Network
Management Card [NMC]). You can use the Wizard in either of the following ways:
• Remotely over your TCP/IP network to discover and configure unconfigured Rack PDUs or
devices on the same network segment as the computer running the Wizard.
• Through a direct connection from a serial port of your computer to a Rack PDU or device to
configure or reconfigure it.
System requirements
Version 5.0.0 or higher of the Wizard runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server® 2003,
Windows Server® 2008 Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
Installation
To install the Wizard from a downloaded executable file:
1. Go to www.apc/tools/download.
2. Download the Device IP Configuration Wizard.
3. Run the executable file in the folder to which you downloaded it.
Use the Wizard
Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured Rack
PDUs.
Launch the Wizard
The installation creates a shortcut link in the Start menu to launch the Wizard.
Configure the basic TCP/IP settings remotely
Prepare to configure the settings. Before you run the Wizard:
1. Contact your network administrator to obtain valid TCP/IP settings.
2. If you are configuring multiple unconfigured Rack PDUs or network-enabled devices, obtain the
MAC address of each one to identify it when the Wizard discovers it. (The Wizard displays the
MAC address on the screen on which you then enter the TCP/IP settings.) The MAC address can
be found:
• On a label on the device
• On the Quality Assurance slip that came with the Rack PDU or device
