Configuring the ATS Network Management Interface
BOOTP & DHCP configuration
The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the ATS’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 ATSs. If these servers are unavailable,
Note see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 52, “Local access to the control console” on page 55, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 55 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the ATS attempts to discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, and then a DHCP server, and repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.
For more information, see “BOOTP” on this page or “DHCP” on page 54.

The BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to ATSs. If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 52, “Local access to the control console” on page 55, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 55 to configure the TCP/IP settings.
1.Make sure the BOOTP setting, a TCP/IP option in the ATS’s Network menu, is enabled.
2.Enter the ATS’s MAC and IP addresses, the subnet mask and default gateway settings, and an optional Bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server.
For the MAC address, look on the Quality Assurance slip included with the ATS.

3.When the ATS reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
–If you specified a bootup file name, the ATS attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The ATS assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
–If you did not specify a bootup file name, the ATS can be configured remotely by using Telnet or the Web interface: User Name and Password are both apc, by default.
To create the bootup file, refer to your BOOTP server documentation.
