Getting DCE direct from Server via Switch

We have had following installed at new site

 

APC StruxureWare DC Expert AP9470

 

Server has DCE version 7.8.1 

 

How do connect to via switch to get to download 7.8.1 to work laptop so we can get to all power readings and other standard features? What cable do we need for laptop to free switch port?

Hi @nicholas.r ,

 

the following FAQ describes how to IP the StruxureWare DCE system and then download the client:

https://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA234266/

With the newest OS (also noted in the above FAQ) you will need to IP the server before being able to download the client.

If you already have access to the DCE web page, you can simply log in there and at the top of the page, there is a "Download Client" link.

 

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks for reply Steve, I need to check document sent to me I think all has been IP'd  and been given sheet with all details including below 

 

 
Host min: 1xx.xxx.xx.1
Host max: 1xx.xxx.xx.254
 
Hosts: 1022

 

From what I been told can use laptop to connect to switch to hook into DCE server to connect to via webpage and download 7.8.1 - is this only way to get or can I download using 7.8.0 connection (silly question I know)?

Hi @nicholas.r ,

 

you must download the new client version from webpage of DCE....client for 7.8.0 doesn`t work on 7.8.1(client is installed in a different folder so there is no update...you will have two versions of client installed)

 

on internal network of DCE you can connect in  any switch port within a straight cable and DCE automatically will assign an ip address and after that you an access http(s)://192.168.1.1 to download client 7.8.1

Hi @nicholas.r ,

 

you can connect network port from pdu to the same switch used for private network of DCE...DCE will allocate an ip address via DHCP which can be viewed on pdu display and after that login via web and change ip to static and set snmp options

 

also I`m using a dhcp server on my laptop to set network devices before connect to DCE
