Quick Configuration
Overview
Disregard the procedures described in this chapter if you have
StruxureWare Data Center Expert as part of your system. See the
documentation for your StruxureWare device for more information.
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the UPS Network
Management Card (NMC 2) can operate on a network:
• IP address of the NMC 2
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that
is located on the same subnet as the NMC 2 and that is usually running.
The NMC 2 uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is
very light.
Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway
address for the NMC 2. 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 NMC 2 User
Guide on the APC website for more information about the watchdog
role of the default gateway.
