Schneider Electric AP9635 manual Internal Management Features, Initial setup, Overview

Initial setup

You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Network Management Card before it can operate on the network:

•IP address of the Management Card

•Subnet mask

•IP address of the default gateway

Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so disables the card. You must then log on using a serial connection and reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults.

To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the Network Management Card Installation Manual, available on the Network Management Card Utility CD and in printed form.

For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at a Management Card, see “TCP/IP and Communication Settings” on page 54.
