, Windows
2003, or Windows XP computer to discover unconfigured Automatic Transfer Switches and
configure their basic TCP/IP settings.

2. Select the Device IP Configuration Wizard from the main menu.
3. Wait for the Wizard to discover the first unconfigured Automatic Transfer Switch, then follow
the on-screen instructions.
BOOTP & DHCP configuration
The Boot Mode Setting, a TCP/IP option in the Automatic Transfer Switch’s Network menu,
identifies how the TCP/IP settings will be defined. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP only,
BOOTP only, and DHCP & BOOTP (the default setting).
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the Automatic Transfer Switch attempts to discover a
properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, then a DHCP server, and repeats this
pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.

To configure one or more Automatic Transfer Switches by exporting configuration settings
from a configured Automatic Transfer Switch, see “How to Export Configuration
Settings” in the User’s Guide on the Utility CD.
Note
If you leave the Start a Web browser when finished option enabled, you can use
apc for both the User Name and Password to access the Automatic Transfer
Switch through your browser.
Note
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP
server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Automatic Transfer Switches.
If these servers are unavailable, see:
• “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page.
• “Local access to the control console” on page 10.
• “Remote access to the control console” on page 15.
