How to Use the Wizard to Configure TCP/IP Settings

The Device IP Configuration Wizard configures the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of one or more Network Management Cards or network-enabled devices (devices containing an embedded UPS Network Management Card (NMC)). You can use the Wizard in either of the following ways:

Remotely over your TCP/IP network to discover and configure unconfigured NMCs or devices on the same network segment as the computer running the Wizard.
Through a direct connection from a serial port of your computer to an NMC or device to configure or reconfigure the NMC or device.

System Requirements

The Wizard runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server^® 2003, and Windows XP operating systems.

Installation

To install the Wizard :

Open the file "contents.htm".

Click "Device IP Configuration Wizard" and follow the instructions.

To install the Wizard from a downloaded executable file:

Download the Device IP Configuration Wizard.

Run the executable file in the folder to which you downloaded.

Use the Wizard

Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured Network Management Cards.

Launch the Wizard

The installation creates a shortcut link in the "Start" menu to launch the Wizard.

Configure the Basic TCP/IP Settings Remotely

Prepare to Configure the Settings

Before you run the Wizard:

Contact your network administrator to obtain valid TCP/IP settings.

If you are configuring multiple unconfigured NMCs or network-enabled devices, obtain the MAC address of each one to identify the device when the Wizard discovers the device. (The Wizard displays the MAC address on the screen on which you then enter the TCP/IP settings.)
- For an NMC that you install, the MAC address is on a label on the bottom of the card.
- For a network-enabled device (with an embedded NMC), the MAC address is on a label on the device.
- You can also obtain the MAC address from the Quality Assurance slip that came with the NMC or device.

Run the Wizard to Perform the Configuration

To discover and configure the unconfigured NMCs or network-enabled devices over the network:

From the "Start" menu, launch the Wizard. The Wizard detects the first NMC or network-enabled device that is not configured.

Select "Remotely (over the network)", and click "Next >".

Enter the system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway for the NMC or device identified by the MAC address. Click "Next >".
On the "Transmit Current Settings Remotely" screen, if you check-mark "Start a Web browser when finished", the default web browser connects to the NMC or device after the Wizard transmits the settings.

Click "Finish" to transmit the settings. If the IP address you entered is in use on the network, the Wizard prompts you to enter an IP address that is not in use. Enter a correct IP address, and click "Finish".

If the Wizard finds another unconfigured NMC or device, the wizard displays the screen to enter TCP/IP settings. Repeat this procedure beginning at step 3, or to skip the NMC or device whose MAC address is currently displayed, click "Cancel".

Configure or Reconfigure the TCP/IP Settings Locally

Contact your network administrator to obtain valid TCP/IP settings.

Connect the provided serial configuration cable from an available communications port on your computer to the serial port of the NMC or device. Make sure that no other application is using the computer port.

From the "Start" menu, launch the Wizard application.

If the Network Management Card or network-enabled device is not configured, wait for the Wizard to detect the device. Otherwise, click "Next >".

Select "Locally (through the serial port)", and click "Next >".

Enter the system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway for the NMC or device, and click "Next >".

On the "Transmit Current Settings Remotely" screen, if you select "Start a Web browser when finished", the default web browser connects to the NMC or device after the Wizard transmits the settings.

Click "Finish" to transmit the TCP/IP settings. If the IP address you entered is in use on the network, the Wizard prompts you to enter an IP address that is not in use. Enter a correct IP address, and click "Finish".
