Metered Rack Power Distribution Unit 9
APC Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the APC Device IP Configuration
Wizard at a computer running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000, Windows 2003, or Windows XP
to configure the basic TCP/IP setting of a Rack
PDU.
1. Insert the APC Metered and Switched Rack
Power Distribution Units Utility CD into a
computer on your network.
2. Launch the Wizard, when prompted, or, if
prompted to restart the computer, access the
Wizard from the Start menu after the
computer has restarted.
3. Wait for the Wizard to discover the
unconfigured
PDU, then follow the
on-screen instructions.
BOOTP & DHCP configuration
The TCP/IP option in the Network menu, under
the Administration tab of the Web interface
identifies how TCP/IP settings will be defined. The
possible settings are Manual, DHCP, BOOTP,
and DHCP & BOOTP (the default setting).
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a
properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is
available to provide TCP/IP settings to the
PDU.
With TCP/IP configuration set to DHCP &
BOOTP, the
PDU attempts to discover a properly
configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP
server, and then a DHCP server. It repeats this
pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP
server.
Note
Most software firewalls must be
temporarily disabled for the Wizard to
discover unconfigured
PDUs
Note
If you leave the Start a Web browser
when finished option enabled, you can
use apc for both the user name and
password to access the Metered Rack
PDU through your browser.

“APC Device IP Configuration
Wizard” on this page, “Local access to
the control console” on page 12, or

settings.
