9Rack ATS AP44xx Installation and Quick Start
Quick Configuration
NOTE: Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC by Schneider Electric StruxureWare
Data Center Expert or EcoStruxure as part of your system. See the documentation available on
www.apc.com for more information.
NOTE: The default login and password is apc. You will be prompted to enter a new password the first
time you connect to the ATS.
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 Guide 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 10).
• Local computer (See “Local access to the command line interface (CLI)” on page 11).
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the CLI” on page 11).
