APC Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Windows® 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP to configure the basic TCP/IP settings of the Main Module.
Note: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured Main Modules.
1 . Insert the Utility CD into a computer on your network.
2 . If autorun is enabled, the user interface of the CD starts when you insert the CD. Otherwise, open the file contents.htm on the CD.
3 . Click Device IP Configuration Wizard and follow the instructions.
Note: If you leave the Start a
Web browser when finished option enabled, you can use apc for both the User Name and Password to access the Main Module through your browser.
.ini file utility
To configure multiple Main Modules, or to configure a Main Module from a user configuration file, see the Environmental Manager: Main Module User’s Guide, available on the enclosed Utility CD.
BOOTP & DHCP configuration
At the Web interface, select the Administration tab, Network from the top menu bar, then TCP/IP from the left navigation menu, to identify how TCP/IP settings will be defined. The default TCP/IP configuration setting, BOOTP & DHCP, assumes that a properly configured BOOTP or DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to the Main Module. The Main Module first attempts to discover a properly configured BOOTP server, and then a DHCP server. It repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.
If neither of these servers is available, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page, “Local access to the control console” on page 18, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 18 to configure the needed TCP/ IP settings.
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 Environmental Manager: Main Module User’s Guide, available on the enclosed Utility CD, or on the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
