UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide2
Devices in which you can install the Network Management Card 2. The NMC can be installed in:
• Any Smart-UPS
®
model that has an internal expansion slot, or any Symmetra
®
UPS except the
Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 UPS
• MGE
®
Galaxy
®
300, 3500, or 7000
• Expansion Chassis (AP9600)
• Triple Expansion Chassis (AP9604)
IPv4 initial setup
You must define two TCP/IP settings for the NMC before it can operate on the network:
• IP address of the NMC
• IP address of the default gateway (only needed if you are going off segment)
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 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 an NMC,
see “TCP/IP and Communication Settings” on page 54.
IPv6 initial setup
IPv6 network configuration provides flexibility to accommodate the user's requirements. To configure the
TCP/IP settings for IPv6, see the user interface online help for details on the options: Manual, Auto
Configuration, DHCPv6 Mode under this menu: Administration > Network > TCP/IP > IPv6 settings.
