Environmental Manager: Main Module

APC Device IP Configuration Wizard

You can use the APC Device IP Configuration

Wizard at a computer running Windows® 2000,

Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP to configure

the basic TCP/IP settings of the Main Module.

Note: Most software firewalls must be

temporarily disabled for the Wizard to

discover unconfigured Main Modules.

1. Insert the Utility CD into a computer on your

network.

2. If autorun is enabled, the user interface of the

CD starts when y ou insert the CD. Otherwise,

open the file contents.htm on the CD.

3. Click Device IP Configuration Wizard and

follow the instructions.

Note: If you leave the Start a

Web browser when finished

option enabled, you can use apc

for both the User Name and

Password to access the Main

Module through your browser.

.ini file utility

To configure multiple Main Modules, or to configure

a Main Module from a user configuration file, see the

Environmental Manager: Main Module User’s

Guide, available on the enclosed Utility CD.

BOOTP & DHCP configuration

At the Web interface, select the Administration tab,

Network from the top menu bar, then TCP/IP from

the left navigation menu, to identify how TCP/IP

settings will be defined. The default TCP/IP

configuration setting, BOOTP & DHCP, assumes

that a properly configured BOOTP or DHCP server

is available to provide TCP/IP settings to the Main

Module. The Main Module first attempts to discover

a properly configured BOOTP server, and then a

DHCP server. It repeats this pattern until it discovers

a BOOTP or DHCP server.

If neither of these servers is available,

see “APC Device IP Configuration

Wizard” on this page, “Local access to

the control console” on page18, or

“Remote access to the control console”

on page 18 to configure the needed TCP/

IP settings.

A user configuration (.ini) file can

function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot file.

For more information, see the TCP/IP

configuration section of the

Environmental Manager: Main Module

User’s Guide, available on the enclosed

Utility CD, or on the APC Web site,
