Installation Manual

Quick Configuration

Overview

Note: Disregard the procedures described in this chapter if you

have APC InfraStruXure

Central as part of your system. See the

documentation for your InfraStruXure device for more information.

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

Management Card can operate on a network:

• IP address of the Network Management Card

• 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 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.

Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the

default gateway address for the Network Management Card. It

disables the card and requires you to reset TCP/IP settings to their

defaults using a local serial login.

See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the Network

Management Card 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 TCP/IP settings needed by the

Network Management Card:

• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “APC Device IP

Configuration Wizard” on page 5.)

• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP and DHCP configuration” on

page 5.)

• Networked computer (See “Local access to the command line interface”

on page 8 or “Remote access to the command line interface” on page 8.)

• Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 user interface display (See

“User interface display (Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 UPS)”

on page 10.)
