APC AP9340 Quick Configuration

Environmental Manager: Main Module 15

Quick Configuration

Note: Disregard the procedures in this

section if you have APC InfraStruXure

Central or InfraStruXure Manager as part

of your system. See the documentation

for your InfraStruXure device for more

information.

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings

before the Main Module can operate on a network:

• IP address of the Main Module

• 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 Main Module and that

is usually running. The Main Module

uses the default gateway to test the

network when traffic is very light.

Caution: Do not use the loopback

address (127.0.0.1) as the default

gateway addr ess for the Main

Module. It disables the card and

requires you to reset TCP/IP settings

to their defaults using a local serial

See “Watchdog Features” in the

“Introduction” of the Environmental

Manager: Main Module User’s

Guide for more information about

the watchdog role of the default

gateway.

Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/

IP settings needed by the Main Module:

• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (see “APC

Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page16).

• BOOTP or DHCP server (see “BOOTP & DHCP

configurati on” on page 16).

• Local computer (see “ Local access to the contro l

console” on page18).

• Networked computer (see “Remote access to the

control console” on page18).
