Configuring the ATS Network Management Interface
52 InfraStruXure Power Generation System
Configuration overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the ATS can operate on a network:
• IP address of the ATS (only needed for manual address assignment)
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the ATS:
• Device IP Configuration Wizard (see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page).
• BOOTP or DHCP server (see “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 53).
• Local computer (see “Local access to the control console” on page 55).
• Networked computer (see “Remote access to the control console” on page 55).
Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the Device IP Configuration Wizard on a Windows NT
®
, Windows 2000, or Windows
XP computer to discover unconfigured ATS systems and configure their basic TCP/IP settings.
1. Insert the InfraStruXure Power Generation System’s Utility CD into a computer on your
network.
2. Launch the Wizard, when prompted. If prompted to restart the computer, access the Wizard
from the Start menu after the computer has restarted.
3. Wait for the Wizard to discover the first unconfigured ATS, then follow the on-screen
instructions.
Note
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a usually running
computer that is located on the same subnet as the ATS. The ATS will use the
default gateway to test the network at times when traffic is very light. Refer to
“Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the InfraStruXure Power Generation
System’s on-line Network Management User’s Guide for more information about
the watchdog role of the default gateway.

both the User Name and the Password to access the ATS through your browser.
