Understand

Your Network

Environment:

To determine the simplest configuration method for your network environment, you

may want to review the Quick Start Guide (QS) and the Application Profiles in

Section I, About ManageUPS with your network administrator.

The biggest question you may need to answer is whether ManageUPS will need a

fixed or "static" IP address on your network.

If the preferred policy on your network is to allocate a fixed IP to server and

management devices, will the fixed IP be "reserved" in a DHCP table and assigned

and re-assigned automatically? Or, should a "static" address be configured manually

in ManageUPS adapter itself?

The answer will depend on your network policies and procedures and on how you

plan to use ManageUPS:

 Will ManageUPS be used across multiple subnets within a multi-tiered

network / Enterprise WAN? Or, only within a local subnet or LAN-side of a

Router?

 Does your network manage network address registration automatically?

 What is your network administrator's policy or procedure for assignment of

static IP addresses and entry of server host names in DNS tables?

 Does you network operate a local Network Time (NTP) Server?

 Does your network operate an SMTP server?

Basic Network

Parameters

If your network operates a DHCP server and registers IP addresses manually, your

network registrar or administrator may need the MAC address of your adapter.

ManageUPS MAC address is printed on the carton label and on the faceplate.

♦ MAC address of your adapter:

__:__:__:__:__:__

If your network supports DNS, your administrator may need to add a specific Host

Name and associated IP address to the network DNS server.

♦ Host-Name assigned to your ManageUPS (not needed if no DNS)

If your network uses DHCP and DNS together to automatically assign Host-Name

and IP-Address, you should be able to deploy ManageUPS right out of the box and

configure it over the network once the appropriate entries are made in the DHCP and

DNS servers.
