Network Management Card: Quick Configuration

With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP (the default setting), the Network Management Card attempts to discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, then a DHCP server, and repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.

See “BOOTP” on this page or “DHCP” on page 50.

BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Network Management Card.

The BOOTP only setting assumes that a properly configured BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to APC Network Management Cards. If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 48, “Local access to the control console” on page 51, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 52 to configure the TCP/IP settings.

1.Enter the Network Management Card’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 nameplate of the NetworkAIR IR Precision Air Conditioner.

Note

2.When the Network Management Card reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.

If you specified a bootup file name, the Network Management Card attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Network Management Card assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.

If you did not specify a bootup file name, the Network Management Card can be configured remotely by using the control console or the Web interface (user name and password are both apc, by default).

To create the bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.

Central Air Conditioning System specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) is renowned for delivering innovative solutions in the realm of power management, but its contributions don't stop there. The company has also made significant advancements in central air conditioning systems. Featuring cutting-edge technologies and energy-efficient designs, their HVAC systems are tailored to meet modern needs while ensuring comfort and sustainability.

One of the standout features of APC central air conditioning systems is their variable speed compressor technology. This advanced system operates at different speeds rather than just cycling on and off. By adjusting the compressor speed to match the cooling demand, these systems optimize energy consumption, leading to lower electricity bills and extended equipment lifespan.

APC's systems also incorporate smart thermostat capabilities, allowing homeowners to monitor and control their air conditioning remotely. Through a mobile app, users can adjust temperature settings, create schedules, and receive maintenance alerts, all of which enhance convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, these smart thermostats can learn user habits over time, automatically adjusting temperature settings to maximize comfort and savings.

Another key characteristic of APC central air conditioning systems is their commitment to eco-friendly refrigerants. Utilizing low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, these systems minimize the environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards. With energy efficiency ratings that often exceed industry benchmarks, APC systems contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and help homeowners adopt sustainable practices.

The design of APC air conditioning units is also noteworthy. They are constructed with durable materials that withstand various weather conditions, ensuring reliability during the hottest months. Additionally, the streamlined design of these systems enhances aesthetic appeal, making them a suitable choice for modern homes.

In conclusion, the American Power Conversion central air conditioning system exemplifies the synergy of innovative technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features. With variable speed compressors, smart controls, eco-friendly refrigerants, and robust construction, APC provides homeowners with a dependable and sustainable climate control solution. As demand for energy-efficient products continues to grow, APC is poised to lead the way in intelligent air conditioning solutions that prioritize both comfort and environmental responsibility.
