TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the InfraStruXure PDU:
• Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration” on page 39.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on page 42.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console” on page 42.)
Device IP Configuration Wizard
You can use the Device IP Configuration Wizard on a Windows NT® 4.0, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP computer to discover unconfigured InfraStruXure PDUs and configure their basic TCP/
IP settings.
To configure one or more InfraStruXure PDUs by exporting configuration settings from

Communication Configuration: Configuring the Network Management
BOOTP & DHCP configuration
The Boot Mode Setting, a TCP/IP option in the InfraStruXure PDU’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).
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP
server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to InfraStruXure PDUs. If these servers
Note
are unavailable, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 38, “Local access to the
control console” on page 42, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 42 to
configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the InfraStruXure PDU 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.
For more information, see “BOOTP” on this page or “DHCP” on page 40.
Note
BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the
InfraStruXure PDU.
The BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured BOOTP server is available to
provide TCP/IP settings to APC InfraStruXure PDUs. If a BOOTP server is unavailable,
Note
see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 38, “Local access to the control console”
on page 42, or “Remote access to the control console” on page 42 to configure the TCP/
IP settings.
1. Make sure that the BOOTP setting, a TCP/IP option in the InfraStruXure PDU’s Network
menu, is enabled.
2. Enter the InfraStruXure PDU’s MAC and IP addresses, the subnet mask and default gateway
settings, and an optional Bootup file name in the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server.

3. When the InfraStruXure PDU reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
– If you specified a bootup file name, the InfraStruXure PDU attempts to transfer that file from
the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The InfraStruXure PDU assumes all settings
specified in the bootup file.
– If you did not specify a bootup file name, the InfraStruXure PDU can be configured remotely
by using Telnet or by using the Web interface: User Name and Password are both apc, by
default.

Communication Configuration: Configuring the Network Management Interface
Local access to the control console
You can use a local computer that connects to the InfraStruXure PDU through the console port on the
InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit to access the control console.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the configuration cable (940-0103) to connect the selected port to the console port on the
InfraStruXure PDU monitoring unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal
®
) on your computer and configure the selected
port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, and save the changes.
4. Press E
NTER to display the User Name prompt.
5. Use apc for the User Name and Password.
6. See “Control console” on page 43 to finish the configuration.
Remote access to the control console
From any computer on the same subnet as the InfraStruXure PDU, you can use ARP and Ping to
assign an IP address to an InfraStruXure PDU, and then use Telnet to access that InfraStruXure
PDU’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
After an InfraStruXure PDU has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without
first using ARP and Ping, to access that InfraStruXure PDU.
Note
1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the InfraStruXure PDU, and use the InfraStruXure PDU’s
MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for
an InfraStruXure PDU that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following
commands:
– Windows command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67
– LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67
For the MAC address, look on the Quality Assurance slip included with the
InfraStruXure PDU.

2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the
IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands:
– Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113
– LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
3. Use Telnet to access the InfraStruXure PDU at its newly assigned IP address. For example:
telnet 156.205.14.141

Safety warnings
Hazardous voltage from the branch circuit must be isolated from the 24VAC, 24VDC, and contact
closure. 24VAC and 24VDC are considered Class 2 circuits as defined in Article 725 of the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and Section 16 of the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1).
A Class 2 circuit is a source having limited voltage and energy capacity as follows:
a. If an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30VAC,
less than 30VDC, and 8A.
b. If not an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than
30VAC, less than 60VDC, 250VA, and the current is limited to 1000/Vmax. The fuse is
limited to 5A if less than 20VAC or 20VDC, or 100/ Vmaximum if less than 30VAC or
60VDC.
If you choose to use a 24VAC, 24 VDC, or contact closure connection to the EPO, use one of the
following UL-listed wire types:
• CL2 Class 2 cable for general purpose use
• CL2P Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other space used for environmental air
• CL2R Riser cable for use in a vertical run shaft from floor to floor
• CL2X Limited Use cable for use in dwellings and for use in a raceway
• For installation in Canada, the cable should be CSA Certified, type ELC (extra-low-voltage
control cable).
If you do not use a CL2 cable, route the EPO wiring in conduit that does not contain any branch
circuit wiring.

Product Information
Warranty
InfraStruXure Standard Warranty
APC warrants that all components of the InfraStruXure system will be free from defect in material
and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of start up when start up has been
performed by APC authorized service personnel*. If assembly services are included in the original
purchase and are also performed by APC authorized service personnel, APC offers an additional year
of warranty at no additional charge. In the event that the system fails to meet the forgoing warranty,
APC shall repair or replace, at its sole discretion, any such defective parts. Under this warranty, APC
will ship all parts to your site at no cost to be available for you the next business day after APC is
notified of this requirement. If you choose to upgrade the system to include an on site contract, APC
offers modular service packages to match your needs.
Each point product incorporated into the system has a separate factory warranty that is applied when
sold as a standalone unit. When incorporated into an InfraStruXure solution, the unit will be covered
by the InfraStruXure warranty. In cases where one warranty favors the customer over the other, the
stronger of the two warranties will take precedence.
*All warranties are null and void unless installation and startup are performed by authorized APC
Global Services service centers.
APC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IF ITS TESTING AND
EXAMINATION DISCLOSE THAT THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT DOES NOT
EXIST OR WAS CAUSED BY PURCHASER’S OR ANY THIRD PERSON’S MISUSE,
