Device IP Configuration Utility
The Device IP Configuration Utility can discover Network Management Cards
(NMC 2) that do not have an IP address assigned. Once discovered, you can
configure the IP address settings for the cards.
You can also search for devices already on the network by entering an IP range to
define the search. The Utility scans the IP addresses in the defined range and
discovers cards that already have a DHCP-assigned IP address.
For detailed information on the Utility, see the Knowledge Base on the
support page of the www.apc.com website and search for FA156064
(the ID of the relevant article). To use the DHCP Option 12 (AOS 5.1.5
or higher), see Knowledge Base ID FA156110.

®
2003, Windows Server 2012 and on both 32- and 64-bit versions of
