APC ACRD500 User Manual

The installation creates a shortcut link in the Start menu to launch the Wizard.

Before you run the Wizard:

1. Contact your network administrator to obtain valid TCP/IP settings.
2. If you are configuring multiple unconfigured cooling units, 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.)

•  For a Network Management Card that you install in the cooling unit, the MAC address is on a 

label on the back of the card.

•  The MAC address is on a label in the cooling unit’s electrical cabinet.
•  You can also obtain the MAC address from the Quality Assurance slip that came with the cooling 

unit.

To discover and configure, over the network, cooling 

units that are not configured:

1. From the Start menu, launch the Wizard. The Wizard automatically detects the first cooling unit 

that is not configured.

2. Select Remotely (over the network), and click Next >.
3. Enter the TCP/IP settings (System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway) for the 

unconfigured cooling unit identified by the MAC address at the top of the screen. Then 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 cooling unit after you 
transmit the settings.

4. 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.

5. The Wizard searches for another unconfigured cooling unit or device. If it finds one, it displays 

the screen with data entry boxes for the TCP/IP settings of that cooling unit.

– To skip configuring the cooling unit or device whose MAC address is currently displayed, 

click Cancel.

– To configure the TCP/IP settings of the next card, repeat this procedure beginning at step 3.

Note: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured 
cooling units.
