Installation Manual

APC Device IP Configuration Wizard

You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running

Microsoft

Windows

2000, Windows Server

2003, or Windows XP to

discover unconfigured Network Management Cards and configure their basic

TCP/IP settings, one card at a time, over the network.

Note: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the

Wizard to discover unconfigured Network Management Cards.

1. If autorun is enabled, the user interface of the CD starts when you insert

the APC Network Management Card Utility CD into a computer on your

network. Otherwise, open the file contents.htm on the CD.

2. Select the Device IP Configuration Wizard from the main menu.

3. When the Wizard discovers the unconfigured Network Management

Card, follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: If you leave the option Start a Web browser when finished

enabled, you can access the Network Management Card through

your browser by using apc (the default) for both the user name and

password.

.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 APC

Network Management Card Utility CD.

BOOTP and 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.

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 Network Management Card User’s Guide, available

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

If neither of these servers is available, see “APC Device IP

Configuration Wizard” on page 11, “Local access to the command

line interface” on page 13, or “Remote access to the command line

interface” on page 14 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
