6 Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick-Start Manual

Quick Configuration

Overview

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Switched

Rack PDU can operate on a network:

• IP address of the Switched Rack PDU

• Subnet mask

• Default gateway

TCP/IP configuration

methods

Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings:

• APC Management Card Wizard (See “APC Management Card

Wizard” on page 7.)

• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration”

on page 7.)

• Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on

page 10.)

• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console”

on page 10.)

Warn

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 Switched

Rack PDU and that is usually running. The Switched Rack

PDU uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic

is very light. See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction”

of the user’s guide for more information about the watchdog

role of the default gateway.
