UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide2
APC devices in which you can install the Management Card. The Management Card can be
installed in the following APC devices:
• Any Smart-UPS
®
model that has an internal expansion slot, or any Symmetra
®
UPS except the
Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 UPS
• Expansion Chassis (AP9600)
• Triple Expansion Chassis (AP9604)
IPv4 Initial setup
You must define two TCP/IP settings for the Management Card before it can operate on the network:
• IP address of the Management Card
• IP address of the default gateway (only needed if you are going off segement)
Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so
disables the card. You must then log on using a serial connection and reset the TCP/IP
settings to their defaults.
To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the Network Management Card Installation Manual,
available on the APC Network Management Card Utility CD and in printed form.
For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at a
Management Card, see “TCP/IP and Communication Settings” on page 60.
IPv6 Initial setup
IPv6 network configuration provides flexability to accomodate the user's requirements. To configure the
TCP/IP settings for IPv6, see the Network Management Card Installation Manual, available as a PDF
file on the APC Network Management Card Utility CD and on the APC website, www.apc.com.
