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.
Consult with your network administrator to determine the type of network server to which the Rack
Monitor 200 is connected. Then follow the table below to complete the configuration process, which
results in the assignment of network communication settings and enables you to access the Rack Monitor
200 (see “Access the Rack Monitor 200” on page 20).
Server type Procedure
RFC2131/RFC2132-
compliant DHCP server
1. Consult with your network administrator to determine which option below
to use. After one of the options is performed, the Rack Monitor 200 will
automatically discover the DHCP server.
EITHER add code to the Vendor Specific Information option to include
the APC cookie information (this must be performed by the network
administrator; see “How to set up option 43” on page 15 for details).
OR disable the requirement that a DHCP offer include the APC cookie.
See “How to disable the cookie requirement” on page 15.
2. Read and note the System IP (address), which you will need to access the
system over your network. Use the control console menu path Network >
TCP/IP. See “How to access the control console” on page 19.
RFC951-compliant BOOTP
