Configuring the ATS Network Management Interface

Configuration overview

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the ATS can operate on a network:

IP address of the ATS (only needed for manual address assignment)

Subnet mask

Default gateway

Note

If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a usually running computer that is located on the same subnet as the ATS. The ATS will use the default gateway to test the network at times when traffic is very light. Refer to “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the InfraStruXure Power Generation System’s on-line Network Management 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 TCP/IP settings needed by the ATS:

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

BOOTP or DHCP server (see “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 53).

Local computer (see “Local access to the control console” on page 55).

Networked computer (see “Remote access to the control console” on page 55).

Device IP Configuration Wizard

You can use the Device IP Configuration Wizard on a Windows NT®, Windows 2000, or Windows XP computer to discover unconfigured ATS systems and configure their basic TCP/IP settings.

To configure one or more ATSs by exporting configuration settings from a configured ATS, refer to “How to Export Configuration Settings” in the on-line Network

See also Management User’s Guide on the Utility CD.

1.Insert the InfraStruXure Power Generation System’s Utility CD into a computer on your network.

2.Launch the Wizard, when prompted. If prompted to restart the computer, access the Wizard from the Start menu after the computer has restarted.

3.Wait for the Wizard to discover the first unconfigured ATS, then follow the on-screen instructions.

If the Start a Web browser when finished option is enabled, you can use apc for both the User Name and the Password to access the ATS through your browser.
