14 Rack Access PX-HID Installation
The default setting, BOOTP & DHCP, causes the
Rack Access PX-HID to attempt to discover a
properly configured server. It first searches for a
BOOTP server, then a DHCP server, and repeats
this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP
server.
BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant
BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for
the Rack Access PX-HID.
1. Enter the Rack Access PX-HID’s MAC and IP
addresses, the subnet mask and default
gateway settings, and an optional Bootup file
name in the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP
server.
2. When the Rack Access PX-HID starts, the
BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP
settings.
If you specified a bootup file name, the
Rack Access PX-HID attempts to transfer
that file from the BOOTP server using
TFTP or FTP. The Rack Access PX-HID
assumes all settings specified in the bootup
file.
If you did not specify a bootup file name,
the Rack Access PX-HID can be configured
remotely by using the Web interface or
Telnet: User Name and Password are both
apc, by default.
For more information, see
“BOOTP” on page 14 or “DHCP”
on page 15.
If a BOOTP server is unavailable,
see “APC Device IP Configuration
Wizard” on page 13, “Local access
to the control console” on page 16,
or “Remote access to the control
console” on page 16 to configure
the TCP/IP settings.
For the MAC address, look on the
bottom of the Rack Access PX-HID
or on the Quality Assurance slip
included in the package.
To create the bootup file, see your
BOOTP server documentation.
