Configuring the ATS Network Management Interface
InfraStruXure Power Generation System 55
Local access to the control console
Use a local computer that connects to the ATS through the console port on the ATS monitoring unit to
access the control console. If accessing the ATS on the local control console, you will not receive any
information about the generator.
1. Select a serial port on your local computer, and disable any service using that port.
2. Connect the configuration cable (APC part # 940-0103) to the selected port on the computer and
to the console port on the ATS monitoring unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal
®
) on your computer and configure the port for
9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Save the changes.
4. Press E NTER to display the User Name prompt.
5. Use apc for both the User Name and the Password.
6. See “Control console” on page 56 to finish the configuration.
Remote access to the control console
From any computer on the same subnet as the ATS, you can use ARP and Ping to assign the ATS an
IP address, and then Telnet to access that ATS’s control console for configuring its TCP/IP settings.
1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the ATS, and use the ATS’s MAC address in the ARP
command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for an ATS that has a MAC
address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following commands:
– Windows command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67
– LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67
Note
After an ATS has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP
and Ping, to access that ATS.

included with the ATS.
