Quick Configuration
Overview
TCP/IP configuration methods
Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Manager’s documentation for more
Warning information.
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Switched Rack PDU can operate on a network:
•IP address of the Switched Rack PDU
•Subnet mask
•Default gateway
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the Switched
Rack PDU and that is usually running. The Switched Rack Note PDU uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic
is very light. See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the user’s guide for more information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings:
•APC Management Card Wizard (See “APC Management Card Wizard” on page 7.)
•BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 7.)
•Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 10.)
•Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 10.)
