• IP address of the Rack PDU
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
TCP/IP configuration
methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings:
• APC Management Card Wizard (See “APC Management Card
Wizard” on page 8.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration”
on page 8.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on
page 11.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console”
on page 11.)
Warning
Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC
InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the
InfraStruXure Manager’s documentation for more
information.
Note
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a
computer that is located on the same subnet as the Rack
PDU and that is usually running. The Rack PDU uses the
default gateway to test the network when traffic is very
light.
