Installation Manual
Device IP Configuration Utility
The Device IP Configuration Utility can discover Network Management Cards
(NMC) that do not have an IP address assigned. Once discovered, you can configure
the IP address settings for the cards.
You can also search for devices already on the network by entering an IP range to
define the search. The Utility scans the IP addresses in the defined range and
discovers cards that already have a DHCP-assigned IP address.
For detailed information on the Utility, see the Knowledge Base on the
support page of the
www.apc.com website and search for FA156064
(the ID of the relevant article). To use the DHCP Option 12 (AOS 5.1.5
or higher), see Knowledge Base ID FA156110.

Server
®
2003, Windows Server 2012 and on both 32- and 64-bit versions of
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7 and Windows 8
operating systems.
This utility supports cards that have firmware version 3.0.x or higher and is for IPv4
only.

DHCP and BOOTP configuration
The default TCP/IP configuration setting, DHCP, assumes that a properly
configured DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Network
Management Cards. You can also configure the setting for BOOTP.
A user configuration (.ini) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot
file. For more information, see the TCP/IP configuration section of the
Network Management Card User’s Guide, available from the Utility CD
or the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
