APC AP9218 manual Initial Setup, Required network, settings, Configuring TCP/IP, Customizing your

Introduction

Initial Setup

Required network	You must configure the following network settings of the MasterSwitch
settings	PDU before it can operate on a network:
	• IP address of the unit
	• Subnet Mask
	• IP address of the default gateway
	Note: If a default gateway is not present, enter an IP address
	of a computer that is on the same subnet and that is
	always active.
Configuring TCP/IP	To configure TCP/IP settings, see TCP/IP on page 15 and see the
settings	MasterSwitch Installation and Quick Start Manual, included in printed
	form with the MasterSwitch PDU and in Portable Document Format
	(Install.pdf) on this CD-ROM.
Customizing your	After you configure MasterSwitch network settings, no further
configuration	configuration is required. The remaining MasterSwitch properties are
	pre-configured to default settings at the factory. However, you may want
	to customize these properties for your application. For more information,
	see Managing the MasterSwitch PDU on page 5.
Auto-configuration	The management card within the MasterSwitch PDU supports an auto-
	configuration utility that you can use to create a configuration file, which
	you can then download to other MasterSwitch PDUs, either to individual
	units one at a time or to multiple units at the same time. For more
	information, see the Management Card Addendum (addendum.pdf
	on the MasterSwitch CD-ROM).
