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.

Consult with your network administrator to determine the type of network server to which the Rack Monitor 200 is connected. Then follow the table below to complete the configuration process, which results in the assignment of network communication settings and enables you to access the Rack Monitor 200 (see “Access the Rack Monitor 200” on page 20).

Server type		Procedure
RFC2131/RFC2132-	1.	Consult with your network administrator to determine which option below
compliant DHCP server		to use. After one of the options is performed, the Rack Monitor 200 will
		automatically discover the DHCP server.
		EITHER add code to the Vendor Specific Information option to include
		the APC cookie information (this must be performed by the network
		administrator; see “How to set up option 43” on page 15 for details).
		OR disable the requirement that a DHCP offer include the APC cookie.
		See “How to disable the cookie requirement” on page 15.
	2.	Read and note the System IP (address), which you will need to access the
		system over your network. Use the control console menu path Network >
		TCP/IP. See “How to access the control console” on page 19.
RFC951-compliant BOOTP	1.	Update the BOOTPTAB file (this must be performed by the network
server		administrator; see page 16). When the file is updated, the Rack Monitor
		200 will automatically discover the BOOTP server.
	2.	Obtain the IP address used in the BOOTPTAB file from your network
		administrator.
		OR
	1.	Obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway from your
		network administrator. See “Important Information about the Default
		Gateway” on page 16.
	2.	Do you have access to a computer on the network running Windows®
		2000, Windows Server® 2003, or Windows XP?
		Yes. Run the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (see page 17).
		No. Use a local computer connected to the serial port of the Rack Monitor
		200 to configure the TCP/IP settings. See “Control Console” on page 19.
		Or use ARP, Ping, and Telnet (requires network communication
		experience; see “How to Use ARP, Ping, and Telnet” on page 18).
Neither BOOTP nor DHCP	1.	Obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (see page 15)
server		from your network administrator.
	2.	Do you have access to a computer on the network running Windows 2000,
		Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP?
		Yes. Run the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard (see page 17).
		No. Use a local computer connected to the serial port of the Rack Monitor
		200 to configure the TCP/IP settings. See “Control Console” on page 19.
		Or use ARP, Ping, and Telnet (requires network communication
		experience; see “How to Use ARP, Ping, and Telnet” on page 18).
