8 Metered Rack Power Distribution Unit
Quick Configuration
Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings
before the
PDU can operate on a network:
• IP address of the
PDU
• Subnet mask
•Default gateway
TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the
TCP/IP settings:
• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (See
“APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on
page 9)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP &
DHCP configuration” on page 9.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the
control console” on page 12.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to
the control console” on page 13.)
Caution
Disregard the procedures in this section if
you have APC InfraStruXure Manager as
part of your system. See the InfraStruXure
Manager’s documentation for more
information.
Note
If a default gateway is unavailable, use
the IP address of a computer that is
located on the same subnet as the
PDU
and that is usually running. The
PDU
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. It disables the PDU’s network
connection and requires you to reset
TCP/IP settings to their defaults using
a local serial login.

“Introduction” of the User’s Guide for

role of the default gateway.
