APC Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000, Windows Server
®
2003, or Windows XP to discover unconfigured RDUs and configure their basic
TCP/IP settings, one card at a time, over the network.
Note: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover
unconfigured RDUs.
1. If autorun is enabled, the user interface of the CD starts when you insert the Utility CD into a
computer on your network. Otherwise, open the file contents.htm on the CD.
2. Select the Device IP Configuration Wizard from the main menu.
3. When the Wizard discovers the unconfigured RDU, follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If you leave the option Start a Web browser when finished enabled, you can access
the RDU through your browser by using apc (the default) for both the user name and
password.
.ini file utility
You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured RDUs to one or more
unconfigured RDUs. The utility and documentation are included on the Utility CD.
BOOTP and DHCP configuration
The default TCP/IP configuration setting, BOOTP & DHCP, assumes that a properly configured
BOOTP or DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to RDUs. The RDU first attempts to
discover a properly configured BOOTP server, and then a DHCP server. It repeats this pattern until it
discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.
A user configuration (.ini) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot file. For more
information, see the TCP/IP configuration section of the InRow RD User’s Guide, available
from the Utility CD or the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
If neither of these servers is available, see “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 1,
“Local access to the command line interface” on page 1, or “Remote access to the command
line interface” on page 1 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
BOOTP. For the Rack PDU to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it must find a
properly configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.
In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the RDU’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway, and, optionally, a bootup file name. Look for the MAC address on the bottom of the
RDU or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
When the RDU reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
• If you specified a bootup file name, the RDU attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP server
using TFTP or FTP. The RDU assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
• If you did not specify a bootup file name, you can configure the other settings of the RDU
remotely through its Web interface or command line interface; the user name and password are
both apc, by default.
To create a bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.
