Web/SNMP Management SmartSlot Card User’s Guide 27
Network Menu
Option Settings
TCP/IP This option allows you to enable or disable BOOTP, and when BOOTP
is disabled, define the three TCP/IP settings that the Management Card
needs to operate on the network.
• The Management Card’s System IP address
• The subnet mask value
• The IP address of the Default Gateway
Note: For information about the watchdog role the Default
Gateway plays, see The role of the Default Gateway
in resetting the network timer on page 13; for infor-
mation about how to configure the initial TCP/IP settings
when you install the Management Card, see the Web/
SNMP Management SmartSlot Card Installation and
Quick Start Manual, provided in printed form and on the
APC Web/SNMP Management Card utility CD
(.\doc\insguide.pdf).
When BOOTP is enabled (by default), you can affect only the BOOTP
setting: A BOOTP server provides the Management Card with its
TCP/IP settings whenever the Management Card is turned on, reset, or
rebooted.
Note: For information about how to use BOOTP, see the Management
Card Addendum, provided in PDF format on the APC Web/
SNMP Management Card utility CD (./doc/adendum.pdf).
DNS Use this option (which is combined with TCP/IP, described above, in the
Web interface) to define the IP address of the Domain Name Server
(DNS). You must define the DNS address to use the Management
Card’s Email feature.
Note: For information about how to use the Email feature, see Email
on page 56.
Ping utility This option (which is available only in the Control Console) allows you to
use Ping, a network utility, to test the Management Card’s network
connection.
By default, the Default Gateway IP address (see TCP/IP above) is used.
However, you can use the IP address of any device known to be running
on the network.
