You can use the Wizard in either of the following ways:. Remotely over your TCP/IP network to discover and configure unconfigured Rack PDUs 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 a Rack PDU or device to configure or reconfigure it.

System requirementsVersion 5.0.0 or higher of the Wizard runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server® 2003, Windows Server® 2008 Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. InstallationTo install the Wizard from a downloaded executable file:1. Go to www.apc/tools/download.2.

Download the Device IP Configuration Wizard.3. Run the executable file in the folder to which you downloaded it. Use the WizardMost software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured Rack PDUs. Launch the WizardThe installation creates a shortcut link in the Start menu to launch the Wizard. Configure the basic TCP/IP settings remotelyPrepare to configure the settings. Before you run the Wizard:1. Contact your network administrator to obtain valid TCP/IP settings.2.

If you are configuring multiple unconfigured Rack PDUs or network-enableddevices, obtain the MAC address of each one to identify it when the Wizard discovers it. (The Wizard displays the MAC address on the screen on which you then enter the TCP/IP settings.) The MAC address can be found:.

On a label on the device. On the Quality Assurance slip that came with the Rack PDU or device. Run the Wizard to perform the configuration. To discover and configure the unconfigured Rack PDUs or network-enableddevices over the network:1. From the Start menu, launch the Wizard.

The Wizard detects the first Rack PDU or networkenabled device that is not configured.2. Select Remotely (over the network), and click Next.3. Enter the system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Rack PDU 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 Rack PDU or device after the Wizard transmits the settings.4. 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 clickFinish.5. If the Wizard finds another unconfigured Rack PDU or device, it displays the screen to enter TCP/IP settings. Repeat this procedure beginning at step 3, or to skip the Rack PDU or device whose MAC address is currently displayed, click Cancel.

Configure or reconfigure the TCP/IP settings locally1. Contact your network administrator to obtain valid TCP/IP settings.2. Connect the provided serial configuration cable (APC part number 940-0144A)from an available communications port on your computer to the serial port of the Rack PDU or device.

Make sure no other application is using the computer port.3. From the Start menu, launch the Wizard application.4. If the Rack PDU or network-enableddevice is not configured, wait for the Wizard to detect it.

Otherwise, click Next.5. Select Locally (through the serial port), and click Next.6.

Enter the system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Rack PDU or device, and clickNext.7. On the Transmit Current Settings Remotely screen, if you select Start a Web browser when finished, the default Web browser connects to the Rack PDU or device after the Wizard transmits the settings.8. 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.9. If you selected Start a Web browser when finished in step 6, you can now configure other parameters through the Web interface of the Rack PDU or device.

How to Export Configuration Settings Retrieving and Exporting the.ini File Summary of the procedureAn Administrator can retrieve the.ini file of a Rack PDU and export it to another Rack PDU or to multiple Rack PDUs.1. Configure a Rack PDU to have the settings you want to export.2. Retrieve the.ini file from that Rack PDU.3. Customize the file to change at least the TCP/IP settings.4. Use a file transfer protocol supported by the Rack PDU to transfer a copy to one or more other Rack PDUs. For a transfer to multiple Rack PDUs, use an FTP or SCP script or the.ini file utility.Each receiving Rack PDU uses the file to reconfigure its own settings and then deletes it.

Contents of the.ini fileThe config.ini file you retrieve from a Rack PDU contains the following:. section headings and keywords (only those supported for the device from which you retrieve the file): Section headings are category names enclosed in brackets ( ). Keywords, under each section heading, are labels describing specific Rack PDU settings. Each keyword is followed by an equals sign and a value (either the default or a configured value).

Apc Network Configuration Utility

The Override keyword: With its default value, this keyword prevents the exporting of one or more keywords and their device-specific values. For example, in the NetworkTCP/IP section, the default value for Override (the MAC address of the Rack PDU) blocks the exporting of values for the SystemIP, SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, and BootMode.

INI and Network Port SharingThe INI configuration utility is able to get and set values for all Rack PDUs in a group. In order to be backwards compatible, the host Rack PDU will always be designated as first, 'PDUA'.

Any guest Rack PDUs are then designated 'PDUB', 'PDUC', and 'PDUD' based on their Display ID in ascending order. Therefore, 'PDUA' will not necessarily correlate to Display ID 1, and so on.Note: Because of the large number of configuration values possible in a Rack PDU group, it may take a very long time to process an INI file set. For example, a Rack PDU group of 4 units with all values changing may take 30 minutes to complete processing.

Detailed proceduresRetrieving. To set up and retrieve an.ini file to export:1.

If possible, use the interface of a Rack PDU to configure it with the settings to export. Directly editing the.ini file risks introducing errors.2. To use FTP to retrieve config.ini from the configured Rack PDU:a.

Open a connection to the Rack PDU, using its IP address: ftp open ipaddressb. Log on using the Administrator user name and password.c. Retrieve the config.ini file containing the Rack PDU’s settings:ftp get config.iniThe file is written to the folder from which you launched FTP.To retrieve configuration settings from multiple Rack PDUs and export them to other Rack PDUs, see Release Notes: ini File Utility, version 2.0, available at www.apc.com.Customizing. You must customize the file before you export it.1. Use a text editor to customize the file.– Section headings, keywords, and pre-definedvalues are not case-sensitive,but string values that you define are case-sensitive.– Use adjacent quotation marks to indicate no value.

Transferring the file to a single Rack PDU. To transfer the.ini file to another Rack PDU, do either of the following:. From the Web interface of the receiving Rack PDU, select the Administration tab, General on the top menu bar, and User Config File on the left navigation menu. Enter the full path of the file, or use Browse.

Device Ip Configuration Utility

Use any file transfer protocol supported by Rack PDUs, i.e., FTP, FTP Client, SCP, or TFTP. The following example uses FTP:a. From the folder containing the copy of the customized.ini file, use FTP to log in to the Rack PDU to which you are exporting the.ini file:ftp open ipaddressb. Export the copy of the customized.ini file to the root directory of the receiving Rack PDU: ftp put filename.iniExporting the file to multiple Rack PDUs. To export the.ini file to multiple Rack PDUs:.

Use FTP or SCP, but write a script that incorporates and repeats the steps used for exporting the file to a single Rack PDU. Use a batch processing file and the.ini file utility.To create the batch file and use the utility, see Release Notes: ini File Utility, version 1.0, available at www.apc.com. File Transfers How to Upgrade Firmware Benefits of upgrading firmwareWhen you upgrade the firmware on the Rack PDU:.

You obtain the latest bug fixes and performance improvements. New features become available for immediate use.Keeping the firmware versions consistent across your network ensures that all Rack PDUs support the same features in the same manner. Firmware module files (Rack PDU)A firmware release has three modules, and they must be upgraded (that is, placed on the Rack PDU) in this order:. a boot monitor ( bootmon) module. an American Power Conversion Operating System ( AOS) module. an application module(Each module contains one or more Cyclical Redundancy Checks (CRCs) to protect its data from corruption).

The boot monitor module, the AOS, and the application file names share the same basic format:apchardware-versiontypefirmware-version.bin. apc: Indicates the context. hardware-version: hw0n where n identifies the hardware version on which you can use this file. type: Identifies which module. version: The version number of the file.

bin: Indicates that this is a binary file. Firmware File Transfer MethodsNote: Upgrade the bootmon module first, then the AOS module, and finally, the application module by placing them on the Rack PDU in that order.Obtain the free, latest firmware version from www.apcc.com/tools/download. To upgrade the firmware of one or more Rack PDUs, use 1 of these 5 methods:. On a Windows operating system, use the Firmware Upgrade Utility downloaded from the APC Web site. See“Using the Firmware Upgrade Utility”. On any supported operating system, use FTP or SCP to transfer the individual AOS and application firmware modules. See“Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one Rack PDU”.

For a Rack PDU that is NOT on your network, use XMODEM through a serial connection to transfer the individual firmware modules from your computer to the Rack PDU.See “Use XMODEM to upgrade one Rack PDU”. Use a USB drive to transfer the individual firmware modules from your computer. See“How to upgrade multiple Rack PDUs”. For upgrades to multiple Rack PDUs, see “Upgrading the firmware on multiple Rack PDUs” and “Using the Firmware Upgrade Utility for multiple upgrades on Windows”. Using the Firmware Upgrade UtilityThis Firmware Upgrade Utility is part of the firmware upgrade package available on the APC Web site.

( Never use an Upgrade Utility designated for one product to upgrade the firmware of another product).Using the Utility for upgrades on Windows systems. On any supported Windows operating system, the Firmware Upgrade Utility automates the transferring of the firmware modules, in the correct module order.

The utility only works with a Rack PDU that has an IPv4 address.Unzip the downloaded firmware upgrade file and double-clickthe.exe file. Then enter the IP address, the user name, and the password in the dialog fields and click Upgrade Now. You can use the Ping button to test your entered details.Using the Utility for manual upgrades, primarily on Linux. On non-Windows operating systems, the Firmware Upgrade Utility extracts the individual firmware modules, but does not upgrade the Rack PDU.

See “Firmware File Transfer Methods” for the different upgrade methods after extraction.To extract the firmware files:1. After extracting files from the downloaded firmware upgrade file, run the Firmware Upgrade Utility (the.exe file).2. At the prompts, click Next , and then specify the directory location to which the files will be extracted.3. When the Extraction Complete message displays, close the dialog box. Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one Rack PDUFTP. To use FTP to upgrade a Rack PDU over the network:. The Rack PDU must be on the network, with its system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway configured.

The FTP server must be enabled at the Rack PDU, see“FTP Server” on page 90.To transfer the files (this procedure assumes bootmon does not need upgrading, it is always necessary to upgrade the other two though):1. The firmware module files must be extracted, see “To extract the firmware files:”.2.

At a computer on the network, open a command prompt window. Go to the directory that contains the firmware files, and list the files:C:cd apc C:apcdirFor file information, see “Firmware module files (Rack PDU)” on page 108.3. Open an FTP client session:C:apcftp4. Type open with the IP address of the Rack PDU, and press E NTER. If the port setting for the FTP Server has changed from its default of 21, you must use the non-defaultvalue in the FTP command.

For Windows FTP clients, separate a non-defaultport number from the IP address by a space. For example (showing a space before 21000):ftp open 150.250.6.10 21000. Some FTP clients require a colon instead before the port number.5.

Log on as Administrator ( apc is the default user name and password).6. Upgrade the AOS. (Always upgrade the AOS before the application module). Ftp binftp put apchw05aos nnn.bin (where nnn is the firmware version number)7. When FTP confirms the transfer, type quit to close the session.8. After 20 seconds, repeat step 3 through step 7, using the application module file name at step 6,.

To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for the Rack PDU, follow these steps (this procedure assumes bootmon does not need upgrading, it is always necessary to upgrade the other two though):1. Locate the firmware modules, see “Using the Utility for manual upgrades, primarily on Linux.”.2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the Rack PDU.

The following example uses nnn to represent the version number of the AOS module:scp apchw05aos nnn.bin apc@158.205.6.185:apchw05aos nnn.bin3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to transfer the application firmware module to the Rack PDU. (Always upgrade the AOS before the application module). Use XMODEM to upgrade one Rack PDUTo use XMODEM to upgrade one Rack PDU that is not on the network, you must extract the firmware files from the Firmware Upgrade Utility (see “To extract the firmware files:” ).To transfer the files (this procedure assumes bootmon does not need upgrading, it is always necessary to upgrade the other two though):1. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses the port.2. Connect the provided serial configuration cable (part number 940-0144)to the selected port and to the RJ-12style serial port at the Rack PDU.3. Run a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, and configure the selected port for 57600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.4.
