Appendix 1 IP Address Settings of CyberPower Network Management Card

Overview

All devices on a computer network need to have an IP address. Each device’s IP address is unique. The same address cannot be used twice. In order to assign an IP address to the CyberPower Network Management Card, first, you must determine the range of the available IP addresses, and then choose an unused IP address to assign to the Network Management Card. PLEASE NOTE: You may need to contact your network administrator to obtain an available IP address.

Procedures to find an IP address:

1.Locate the subnet of CyberPower Network Management Card.

One way to determine the range of possible IP addresses is to view the network configuration on a workstation. Click on [Start] and select [Run]. Type “command” into the open box and click [OK]. At the DOS Mode Prompt type “ipconfig /all” and press [Enter]. The computer will display network information as below:

Ethernet adapter

Connection-specific DNS Suffix…………: xxxx.com Description……………………: D-Link DE220 ISA PnP LAN adapter Physical Address…………….: 00-80-C8-DA-7A-C0

DHCP Enabled……………....: Yes

Autoconfiguration Enabled ...: Yes

IP Address…………………..: 192.168.20.102

Subnet Mask………………..: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway……..……...: 192.168.20.1

DHCP Server…………..…….: 192.168.20.1

DNS Servers…………………: 211.20.71.202

168.95.1.1

2.Select an IP Address for CyberPower Network Management Card

Verify the IP Addresses for the computer and the Network Management Card belong to the same subnet. Refer to the above network information, the possible IP Address for the Network Management Card could be 192.168.20.* (* hereafter represents any number between 1 and 255). Similarly, if the Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0, the IP Address for Network Management Card could be set up as 192.168.*.* to reach the same subnet with the computer.

To verify there is no other equipment connected to the network using the same IP Address, run “Ping 192.168.20.240” at the DOS Mode prompt when the IP Address you would like to set is 192.168.20.240. If the response is presented as below, the IP address is most likely not used and available for the CyberPower Network Management Card.
