11NetBotz Rack Monitor 450/550/570 Installation and Quick Configuration Manual

Initial Configuration

Note: Disregard the procedures in this section if you have an APC InfraStruxure Central

server as part of your system. See the documentation for your InfraStruxure device for more

information.

Overview

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the appliance can operate on a network:

• IP address of the appliance

• Subnet mask

• Default gateway

Note: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is

located on the same subnet as the appliance and that is usually running. The appliance

uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.

Obtain network settings using DHCP

By default, your appliance obtains its network settings using DHCP. When you connect the appliance to

your network and apply power to the unit, it automatically attempts to contact a DHCP server. The

appliance waits 30 seconds for a response. If the DHCP server is configured to provide a hostname, the

appliance requests either its configured hostname or ‘netbotzxxxxxx’ (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of

the MAC address of the appliance) as a hostname associated with the IP address granted by the DHCP

server. This enables you to use a Web browser to connect to the appliance using the address

http://netbotzxxxxxx without any additional configuration. The appliance also requests DNS server

addresses, a DNS domain, SMTP server addresses, and NTP server addresses from the DHCP server.
