Environmental Manager: Main Module
15
Quick Configuration
Note: Disregard the procedures in this
section if you have APC InfraStruXure
Central or InfraStruXure Manager as part
of your system. See the documentation
for your InfraStruXure device for more
information.
Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings
before the Main Module can operate on a network:
• IP address of the Main Module
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
Note: If a default gateway is
unavailable, use the IP address of a
computer that is located on the same
subnet as the Main Module and that
is usually running. The Main Module
uses the default gateway to test the
network when traffic is very light.
Caution: Do not use the loopback
address (127.0.0.1) as the default
gateway address for the Main
Module. It disables the card and
requires you to reset TCP/IP settings
to their defaults using a local serial
login.
See “Watchdog Features” in the
“Introduction” of the Environmental
Manager: Main Module User’s
Guide for more information about
the watchdog role of the default
gateway.
TCP/IP Configuration
Methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/
IP settings needed by the Main Module:
• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (see “APC
Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 16).
• BOOTP or DHCP server (see “BOOTP & DHCP
configuration” on page 16).
• Local computer (see “Local access to the control
console” on page 18).
• Networked computer (see “Remote access to the
control console” on page 18).
