MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide

Chapter 2:
Initial
Setup
The MasterSwitch must have its network settings defined for it to function properly for SNMP, telnet, or
embedded Web control of its output power:
n Its IP address
n The IP address of the default gateway
n The subnet mask
n HTTP and telnet port number (for Web-based or telnet control)
How the MasterSwitch initially gets these values depends on whether or not you will be using a
BOOTP server:
n The MasterSwitch comes with the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) setting enabled. This allows you to
configure a
BOOTP server to provide the needed subnet mask and IP values:
1) Identify the
MAC address of the MasterSwitch. This address is provided on a label that is attached
to the MasterSwitch side panel.
2) Refer to your
BOOTP server documentation for information on how to use that server to configure
the MasterSwitch network values.
n If you will not be using a BOOTP server you must use a terminal to access the MasterSwitch, and use
its console program. To access the console program:
1) Connect one end of the cable that comes with the MasterSwitch to the connector labeled “Serial
Port” at the front of the MasterSwitch.
2) Connect the cable to the serial port of the terminal (or terminal emulator).
3) Set the terminal serial port for 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and press <Enter>.
4) When the
User Name: prompt appears, enter the case-sensitive, default user name (apc).
5) When the Password: prompt appears, enter the case-sensitive, default password (apc).
6) Once the main configuration menu appears:
r Use the Passwords option under the MasterSwitch submenu to change the login
password.
Note: The console, telnet, and Web control share the same password. When you
change the password using the console, telnet, or Web control, you change the
password for all three control functions.
r Use the TCP/IP option under the Network submenu to disable BOOTP and define:
a) The IP address for the MasterSwitch.
b) The IP address for the default gateway.
c) The subnet mask value.
r Use the Logout option to exit the console program, or use any of the other main
configuration menu options to further define the MasterSwitch operation before you log out.
Note: See Chapter 6 for more information on how to use the console program.
