Network Management Card: Quick Configuration

TCP/IP configuration methods

Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the Network Management Card:

APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 48.)

BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 48.)

Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 51.)

Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 52.)

APC Device IP Configuration Wizard

You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a Windows NT® 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, or Windows XP computer to configure a Network Management Card.

To configure one or more Network Management Cards by exporting configuration settings from a configured Network Management Card, see “How to Export Configuration Settings” in the User’s Guide on the NetworkAIR FM and NetworkAIR IR Precision Air Conditioner CD.

1.Insert the NetworkAIR FM and NetworkAIR IR Precision Air Conditioner CD into a computer on your network.

2.Select the Device IP Configuration Wizard from the main menu.

3.Wait for the Wizard to discover the first unconfigured Network Management Card, then follow the on-screen 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 Network Management Card through your browser.

BOOTP & DHCP configuration

The Boot Mode Setting, a TCP/IP option in the Network Management Card’s Network menu, identifies how the TCP/IP settings will be defined. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP only, BOOTP only, and DHCP & BOOTP (the default setting).

The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Network Management Cards. If these servers are unavailable, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page, “Local access to the control console” on page 51, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 52 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

Central Air Conditioning System specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) is renowned for delivering innovative solutions in the realm of power management, but its contributions don't stop there. The company has also made significant advancements in central air conditioning systems. Featuring cutting-edge technologies and energy-efficient designs, their HVAC systems are tailored to meet modern needs while ensuring comfort and sustainability.

One of the standout features of APC central air conditioning systems is their variable speed compressor technology. This advanced system operates at different speeds rather than just cycling on and off. By adjusting the compressor speed to match the cooling demand, these systems optimize energy consumption, leading to lower electricity bills and extended equipment lifespan.

APC's systems also incorporate smart thermostat capabilities, allowing homeowners to monitor and control their air conditioning remotely. Through a mobile app, users can adjust temperature settings, create schedules, and receive maintenance alerts, all of which enhance convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, these smart thermostats can learn user habits over time, automatically adjusting temperature settings to maximize comfort and savings.

Another key characteristic of APC central air conditioning systems is their commitment to eco-friendly refrigerants. Utilizing low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, these systems minimize the environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards. With energy efficiency ratings that often exceed industry benchmarks, APC systems contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and help homeowners adopt sustainable practices.

The design of APC air conditioning units is also noteworthy. They are constructed with durable materials that withstand various weather conditions, ensuring reliability during the hottest months. Additionally, the streamlined design of these systems enhances aesthetic appeal, making them a suitable choice for modern homes.

In conclusion, the American Power Conversion central air conditioning system exemplifies the synergy of innovative technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features. With variable speed compressors, smart controls, eco-friendly refrigerants, and robust construction, APC provides homeowners with a dependable and sustainable climate control solution. As demand for energy-efficient products continues to grow, APC is poised to lead the way in intelligent air conditioning solutions that prioritize both comfort and environmental responsibility.
