APC AP8861 Manuel D’Utilisation

To discover and configure the unconfigured Rack 

PDUs or network-enabled devices over the network:

1. From the Start menu, launch the Wizard. The Wizard detects the first Rack PDU or network-

enabled 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 click 
Finish.

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.

1. 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-enabled device is not configured, wait for the Wizard to detect it. 

Otherwise, click 

.

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 click 

Next >.

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.
