InRow RC Operation and Maintenance28
APC Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000, Windows 2003, or Windows XP to configure a Network Management Card.
To configure one or more Network Management Cards from a user configuration file, see the
User’s Guide on the Utility CD.
1. Insert the Utility CD into a computer on your network.
2. Select Device IP Configuration Wizard from the main menu.
3. Wait for the Wizard to discover the unconfigured Network Management Card, then follow the
on-screen instructions.
Note: If you leave the option Start a Web browser when finished enabled, you can
access the InRow RC through your browser by using apc (the default) for both the user
name and password.
BOOTP & DHCP configuration
TCP/IP Configuration, which you access by selecting the Administration tab, the Network option on
the top menu bar, and TCP/IP on the left navigation menu, identifies how the TCP/IP settings will be
defined. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP, BOOTP, and DHCP & BOOTP (the default
setting).
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available
to provide TCP/IP settings to Network Management Cards. The Network Management Card attempts to
discover a properly configured BOOTP server and then a DHCP server and repeats this pattern until it
discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.
If neither of these servers is available, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 28
or “Remote access to the control console” on page 30 to configure the TCP/IP settings.
BOOTP. For the Network Management Card to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it
must find a properly-configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.
1. In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the MAC address of the Network
Management Card, and the IP addresses of the subnet mask and default gateway, and an optional
bootup file name .
Note: For the MAC address, look on the nameplate of the InRow RC. The MAC
address is also available on the display interface at:
Path: Main > Setup > System # > Network Config.
2. When the Network Management Card reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP
settings.
– If you specified a bootup file name, the Network Management Card attempts to transfer that
file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Network Management Card assumes all
settings specified in the bootup file.
– If you did not specify a bootup file name, the Network Management Card can be configured
remotely by using the control console or the Web interface. User name and password are both
apc, by default.
To create the bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.
