Setting the ACU's IP parameters now is easily done within a few minutes.
1. First install a network cable between the ACU and your computer. If you have a crossover
cable available, this is very easy: simply put the cable into the network connectors of
computer and ACU. Without a crossover cable, you need to connect both, the computer and
the ACU to the same network hub using two standard network cables. It is essential, that the
computer and the ACU are connected to the same network segment, the configuration
program is not able to find the ACU through routers or network switches.
2. Now power on your computer and connect the ACU to the UPS power supply. Take care, that
circuit breaker for the ACU inside the sat-nms ACU-ODU is switched to on state, the other
ones have to be switched off.
3. Insert the CD-ROM into the computer's drive and inspect it's contents through the 'My
Computer' icon on your desktop. Double-click to the 'ChipTool.exe' program in the 'ChipTool'
directory.
4. When the ChipTool program is running, the program shows a list containing at least one
entry describing the actual network parameters of the sat-nms ACU-RMU.
5. The serial number of the core module shown in the first column of the list. If the list stays
empty, the ACU is not connected properly. If there are more entries in the list, the
configuration program has found other devices in this network segment which use the same
technology.
6. Now open with a right-click the sub-menu IP configuration to open the IP configuration
window of the program. In this form the ACU's MAC address is shown on top, below you find
the fields to configure the new IP address and network mask. If the ACU later shall be
operated through a router, enter the address of the router on the gateway field, otherwise
leave this field blank. Be sure, that the 'DHCP' mark is unchecked, the other values have to
be set as shown on the picture. Finally click to the 'Yes' button to set the new parameters at
