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 a network:

•IP address of the Network Management Card

•Subnet mask

•Default gateway

NOTE: Never use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway 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 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 TCP/IP settings needed by the Network Management Card:

•Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page.)

•BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 32.)

•Local computer (see “Local access to the control console” on page 33.)

•Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 33.)

Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard

You can use the Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows® Server 2003, or Windows® XP to configure a Network Management Card.

NOTE: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured Network Management Cards.

To configure one or more Network Management Cards from a user configuration file, see the User Guide available on the Schneider Electric Web site: www.schneider-electric.com.

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. If autorun is not enabled, open the file contents.htm on the CD.

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