Use the Wizard
Launch the Wizard
The installation creates a shortcut link in the Start menu to launch the Wizard.
Configure the basic TCP/IP settings remotely
Prepare to configure the settings. Before you run the Wizard:
1. Contact your network administrator to obtain valid TCP/IP settings.
2. If you are configuring multiple unconfigured Rack PDUs, obtain the MAC address of
each one to identify it when the Wizard discovers it. (The Wizard displays the MAC
address on the screen on which you then enter the TCP/IP settings.)
– For a Rack PDU, the MAC address is on a label on the device.
You can also obtain the MAC address from the Quality Assurance slip that came
with the Rack PDU or device.
Run the Wizard to perform the configuration. To discover and configure
unconfigured Rack PDUs:
1. From the Start menu, launch the Wizard. The Wizard detects the first Rack PDU
that is not configured.
2. Select Remotely (over the network), and click Next >.
3. Enter the system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Rack PDU or device
identified by the MAC address. Click Next >.
On the Transmit Current Settings Remotely screen, if you check-mark Start a
Web browser when finished, the default Web browser connects to the Rack PDU
or device after the Wizard transmits the settings.
4. Click Finish to transmit the settings. If the IP address you entered is in use on the
Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to
discover unconfigured Rack PDUs.
