Rack ATS AP44xx Installation and Quick Start10
Quick Configuration
NOTE: Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC by Schneider Electric StruxureWare as
part of your system. See the StruxureWare documentation on www.apc.com for more information.
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Rack ATS can operate on a network:
• IP address of the Rack ATS
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway (See the User Manual on www.apc.com for more information about the
watchdog role of the default gateway.)
NOTE: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the
same subnet as the Rack ATS and is usually running. The Rack ATS uses the default gateway to
test the network when traffic is very light.
NOTE: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address. It disables the
network connection of the Rack ATS and requires you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a
local serial login.
TCP/IP Configuration Methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings:
• APC by Schneider Electric Device IP Configuration Wizard (See Device IP Configuration Wizard
on this page).
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “DHCP and BOOTP configuration” on page 11).
• Local computer (See “Local access to the command line interface (CLI)” on page 12).
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the CLI” on page 12).
Device IP Configuration Wizard
The Device IP Configuration Wizard runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows
Server 2012, and on 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7,
Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. The Device IP Configuration Wizard supports cards
that have firmware v3.0.x or higher and is for IPv4 only. (To configure one or more Rack ATSs by

Rack ATSs.
