The subnet mask
The default gateway
TCP/IP
configuration
methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings
needed by the Management Card:
The APC Management Card Wizard (see APC
Management Card Wizard on page 11)
A DHCP or BOOTP server (see BOOTP & DHCP
configuration on page 11)
A local computer (see Local access to the control
console on page 14)
A networked computer (see Remote access to the
control console on page 15)
Note
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the
IP address of a computer located on the
same subnet as the Management Card that
is usually running. The Management Card
uses the default gateway to test the network
when traffic is very light. See Watchdog
Features in the Introduction of the
Network Management Card User’s Guide
(.\doc\usrguide.pdf) for more information
about the watchdog role of the default
gateway.
