Back-UPS Pro 500 BG500 120 Vac 41

• Domain Name (IPv4): You need to configure the domain name here only. In all other fields in the UPS

interface (except e-mail addresses) that accept domain names, the UPS adds this domain name when only a

host name is entered.

– To override all instances of the expansion of a specified host name by the addition of the domain name,

set the domain name field to its default, somedomain.com, or to 0.0.0.0.

– To override the expansion of a specific host name entry, include a trailing period. The UPS recognizes a

host name with a trailing period (such as myServer.) as if it were a fully-qualified domain name and

does not append the domain name.

• Domain Name (IPv6): Specify the IPv6 domain name here.

Custom Network Settings

• DHCP and BOOTP mode: The DHCP, default option of Custom Network Settings, and the BOOTP,

assumes that a properly configured BOOTP or DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to the

UPS. The UPS attempts to discover a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server. It repeats this pattern

until it discovers a DHCP or BOOTP server.

• Manual mode: If no BOOTP and DHTP are available, you must select the Manual mode.

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the UPS can operate on a network.

Note: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same

subnet as the UPS and that is usually running. The UPS uses the default gateway to test the network

when traffic is very light.

Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so disables the

card. You must then press the Reset button to reset the TCP/IP settings to their defaults.
