Automatic Transfer Switch Installation and Quick Start8

BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the

Automatic Transfer Switch.

Note: The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is

available to provide TCP/IP settings to Automatic Transfer Switches.

1. Enter the Automatic Transfer Switches MAC and IP addresses, the subnet mask and default

gateway settings, and an optional Bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server.

For the MAC address, look on the bottom of the Automatic Transfer Switch or on the Quality

Assurance slip included in the package.

2. When the Automatic Transfer Switch reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP

settings.

– If you specified a bootup file name, the Automatic Transfer Switch attempts to transfer that

file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Automatic Transfer Switch assumes all

settings specified in the bootup file. To create the bootup file, see your BOOTP server

documentation.

– If you did not specify a bootup file name, the Automatic Transfer Switch can be configured

remotely by using Telnet or by using the Web interface: User Name and Password are both

apc, by default.

DHCP. You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for

the Automatic Transfer Switch. This section briefly summarizes the Automatic Transfer Switch

communication with a DHCP server. For more detail about how a DHCP server is used to configure the

network settings for an Automatic Transfer Switch, see “DHCP Configuration” in the Automatic

Transfer Switch User’s Guide.

1. An Automatic Transfer Switch sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify

itself:

– A Vendor Class Identifier (APC by default)

– A Client Identifier (by default, the Automatic Transfer Switches MAC address value)

– A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the Automatic Transfer Switches

application firmware)
