APC Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows Server® 2003, or Windows XP to discover unconfigured Network Management Cards and configure their basic TCP/IP settings, one card at a time, over the network.

.ini file utility
You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured Network Management Cards to one or more unconfigured Network Management Cards. The utility and documentation are included on the APC Network Management Card Utility CD.
DHCP and BOOTP configuration
The default TCP/IP configuration setting, DHCP, assumes that a properly configured DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Network Management Cards. You can also configure the setting for BOOTP.
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 Network Management Card User’s Guide, available from the Utility CD or the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
If neither of these servers is available, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 9, “Local access to the command line interface” on page 11, or “Remote access to the command line interface” on page 12 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
