Communication Connection
Network overview
The InfraStruXure Manager provides for the management of other networked APC devices. It
connects to both your existing network (User LAN) and a private APC network (APC LAN) to
manage connected APC devices. Use the APC LAN for APC devices whenever possible.
Connect network cables to InfraStruXure devices
1. Connect a CAT-5 network cable to the network port on each APC device or each APC device’s
management card.
2. Connect CAT-5 network cables to the ethernet ports on the Rack PDUs and on the monitoring

Note
If you are running PowerChute
®
Network Shutdown software with an InfraStruXure
system’s UPS that is connected to the private network, you must purchase a second
Network Management card. Install this card in the second slot in the UPS and connect it
to the public network. You do not need a second management card if the UPS is
connected to the public network.
