Preliminary Information mph0080a Product inventory Automatic Transfer Switch Rack-mount brackets Front and rear rail segments Communication cable 2 Automatic Transfer Switch - Installation and Quick Start
Overview Front panel Smar t Sl ot A B Output Input Status Preference B Configuration Network Management Card No. Automatic Transfer Switch Item Description/Function Reset switch Restarts the Network Management Card. Ethernet port Connects the Automatic Transfer Switch to your network, using a network cable. Link–RX/TX LED Indicates whether there is activity on the network. Status LED Indicates whether power is applied to the Network Management Card.
Installation Attach mounting brackets Attach the left and right mounting brackets to the unit, using two flat-head, Phillips screws (provided) for each bracket. Place the brackets flush with the front of the rack to leave room for routing cables. mph0096a Note Disassemble the adjustable brackets The adjustable brackets are necessary only if you are using a four-post enclosure or rack. If you are using a two-post rack, the Automatic Transfer Switch is supported by the mounting brackets alone.
Installation Attach rear segments to the rack 1. Insert caged nuts (provided with your enclosure) on the enclosure’s rear vertical mounting rails at your chosen location. 2. Align the rear segments of the adjustable bracket with the caged nuts you inserted in step 1. mph0013a 3. Insert and tighten mounting screws (provided). Attach front segments to the switch 1. Align the front segments of the adjustable bracket with the four corresponding holes on the sides of the switch. mph0095a 2.
Installation Mount the Automatic Transfer Switch in the enclosure Two people should perform this procedure. Heavy 1. Position the Automatic Transfer Switch in front of the mounted rear adjustable bracket segments. 2. Align the front and rear adjustable bracket segments, and slide the front segments onto the rear segments. 3.
Quick Configuration Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Manager’s documentation for more information.
Quick Configuration Device IP Configuration Wizard You can use the Device IP Configuration Wizard on a Windows NT® 4.0, Windows 2000®, Windows 2003, or Windows XP computer to discover unconfigured Automatic Transfer Switches and configure their basic TCP/IP settings. See also To configure one or more Automatic Transfer Switches by exporting configuration settings from a configured Automatic Transfer Switch, see “How to Export Configuration Settings” in the User’s Guide on the Utility CD. 1.
Quick Configuration BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Automatic Transfer Switch. The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Automatic Transfer Switches. Note 1. Enter the Automatic Transfer Switch’s MAC and IP addresses, the subnet mask and default gateway settings, and an optional Bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server.
Quick Configuration 2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes all of the settings that the Automatic Transfer Switch needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor Specific Information option (DHCP option 43).
How to Access the Automatic Transfer Switch Interfaces Overview After the Automatic Transfer Switch is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized here to access the unit. For more information on the interfaces, see the User’s Guide. See also Web interface As your browser, you can use Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 (and higher) or Netscape® 6.x to access the Network Management Card through its Web interface.
How to Access the Automatic Transfer Switch Interfaces Telnet/SSH You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled. (An Administrator can enable these access methods through the Telnet/SSH option of the Network menu.) By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables Telnet. Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption.
How to Access the Automatic Transfer Switch Interfaces FTP/SCP You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer new firmware to the Automatic Transfer Switch, or to access a copy of the Automatic Transfer Switch’s event logs. SCP provides the higher security of encrypted data transmission and is enabled automatically when you enable SSH. Note If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable FTP.
Configuring the ATS Configuring sensitivity The sensitivity setting controls how tolerant the ATS is of fluctuations in power before it switches to the secondary power source. Configure the sensitivity range for your ATS using the Switch Configuration menu. When sensitivity is set to low, the ATS will wait 5 ms before switching to the alternate power source when there is a disturbance in the power supply. When sensitivity is set to high, the ATS will wait 3 ms before transferring power.
Configuring the ATS Remote access to the control console From any computer on the same subnet as the Automatic Transfer Switch, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to a Automatic Transfer Switch, and then use Telnet to access that Automatic Transfer Switch’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings. After the Automatic Transfer Switch has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that Automatic Transfer Switch.
Recovering From A Lost Password Use the following instructions to reset the Network Management Card password. Note 1. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses that port. 2. Connect APC serial cable 990-1000A to the Automatic Transfer Switch serial port and to the serial port on the local computer.
