USER’S GUIDE network management card
®
Option Settings
These options are combined in the Web interface (the TCP/IP
&DNS option) but separate in the control console.
TCP/IP
Use this option to enable or disable BOOTP, and when BOOTP is disabled, to 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
For information about the watchdog role of the default 
gateway, see Resetting the network timer.
When BOOTP is enabled (by default), you can affect only the BOOTP setting: A BOOTP server will provide the Management Card with its TCP/IP settings whenever the Management Card is turned on, reset, or rebooted.
To use BOOTP, see the Network Management Card Addendum (.\doc\en\addendum.pdf) provided on the APC Network
See also Management Card utility CD.
Current TCP/IP settings fields. The current values for System IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and the Management Card’s MAC Address are displayed above the TCP/IP settings in the control console and Web interface.
