APC Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000, Windows Server
®
2003, or Windows XP to
discover unconfigured Network Management Cards and configure their basic
TCP/IP settings, one card at a time, over the network.
Note: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the
Wizard to discover unconfigured Network Management Cards.
1. If autorun is enabled, the user interface of the CD starts when you insert
the APC Network Management Card Utility CD into a computer on your
network. Otherwise, open the file contents.htm on the CD.
2. Select the Device IP Configuration Wizard from the main menu.
3. When the Wizard discovers the unconfigured Network Management
Card, follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If you leave the option Start a Web browser when finished
enabled, you can access the Network Management Card through
your browser by using apc (the default) for both the user name and
password.
.ini file utility
You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured
Network Management Cards to one or more unconfigured Network
Management Cards. The utility and documentation are included on the APC
Network Management Card Utility CD.
DHCP and BOOTP configuration
The default TCP/IP configuration setting, DHCP, assumes that a properly
configured DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Network
Management Cards. You can also configure the setting for BOOTP.
A user configuration (.ini) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP
boot file. For more information, see the TCP/IP configuration
section of the Network Management Card User’s Guide, available
from the Utility CD or the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
If neither of these servers is available, see “APC Device IP
Configuration Wizard” on page 9, “Local access to the command
line interface” on page 11, or “Remote access to the command line
interface” on page 12 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
