Installation Manual
A user configuration (.ini) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot
file. For more information, see the TCP/IP configuration section of the
Network Management Card User’s Guide, available from the Utility CD
or the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
If neither of these servers is available, see “Device IP Configuration
Utility” on page 10, “Local access to the command line interface” on
page 13, “Remote access to the command line interface” on page 14 or
“UPS User Interface Display” on page 16 to configure the needed 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.
In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the Network Management
Card’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, and, optionally,
a bootup file name. Look for the MAC address on the bottom of the Network
Management Card or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
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, you can configure the other
settings of the Network Management Card remotely through its Web
interface or command line interface; the user name and password are both
apc, by default.
To create a bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.
