Network Management Card

Quick Configuration

The cooling unit is shipped with a Network Management Card that enables the cooling unit to be managed over a network. Configure the Network Management Card to control this cooling unit through a network.

Overview

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Network Management Card can operate on

anetwork:

IP address of the Network Management Card

Subnet mask

Default gateway

Caution: Never use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for the Network Management Card. Doing so will disable the card and will require you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local serial login.

Note: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the Network Management Card and that is usually running. The Network Management Card 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.

TCP/IP configuration methods

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

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

BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 28.)

Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 30.)
