4. When the Wizard discovers the unconfigured Network Management Card, follow the on-screen

instructions.

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 Network Management Card

through your browser.

.ini file utility

You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured Network Management

Cards to one or more unconfigured Network Management Cards. The utility and documentation are

included on the Utility CD.

BOOTP & DHCP configuration

The default TCP/IP configuration setting, BOOTP & DHCP, assumes that a properly configured

BOOTP or DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Network Management Cards. The

Network Management Card first attempts to discover a properly configured BOOTP server, and then a

DHCP server. It repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.

If neither of these servers is available, see “Local access to the control console” on page 27, or

“Remote access to the control console” on page 28 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings

A user configuration (.ini) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot file. For more

information, see the TCP/IP configuration section of the User’s Guide, available from the

Utility CD or the APC Web site, www.apc.com.

BOOTP. For the Network Management Card to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it

must find a properly configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.

1. In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the MAC address of the Network

Management Card, and the IP addresses of the subnet mask, and default gateway, and an optional

bootup file name. Look for the MAC address on the display interface (Path: Main > Configure

Network) or on the label on the back of the Network Management Card.

2. When the Network Management Card reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP

settings.

– If you specified a bootup file name, the Network Management Card attempts to transfer that

file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Network Management Card assumes all

settings specified in the bootup file.

– If you did not specify a bootup file name, you can configure the other settings of the Network

Management Card remotely through its Web interface or control console; user name and

password are both apc, by default.

See your BOOTP server documentation to create a bootup file.
