Quick Configuration
Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the InfraStruXure Manager’s
Warning documentation for more information.
Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Automatic Transfer Switch can operate on a network:
•IP address of the Automatic Transfer Switch
•Subnet mask
•Default gateway
Note
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the Automatic Transfer Switch and that is usually running. The Automatic Transfer Switch uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light. See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the Automatic Transfer Switch 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 Automatic Transfer Switch:
•Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 8.)
•BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 8.)
•Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 10.)
•Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 15.)
