27InRow RC Operation and Maintenance

Quick Configuration

The InRow RC is shipped with a Network Management Card that allows for the management of the air

conditioner over your network. You must set up the Network Management Card in order to control the

InRow RC through its Web interface or through the control console.

Overview

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

• IP address of the Network Management Card

• Subnet mask

• Default gateway

Note: Never use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for the

Network Management Card. Doing so will disable the card and will require you to reset

TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local serial login.

If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on

the same subnet as the Network Management Card and that is usually running. The

Network Management Card uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is

very light.

See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the InRow RC User’s Guide for

more information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.

TCP/IP configuration methods

Use one of the following methods to define the basic TCP/IP settings needed by the Network

Management Card:

• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 28.)

• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 28.)

• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 30.)
