How to Avoid Equipment Damage Disconnect power for Smart-UPS or expansion chassis You do not need to turn off a Symmetra® UPS to install the Network Management Card. Caution: Damage to the UPS or Network Management Card can result if you do not remove all AC and DC power from a Smart-UPS®, an Expansion Chassis, or a Triple Expansion Chassis before you install the Network Management Card. Smart-UPS. 1. Turn off the equipment that is connected to the UPS. 2.
Preliminary Information Features The American Power Conversion (APC®) Network Management Card 2 is IPv6 Ready and localized into nine languages.

Installation in a UPS How to install the card for different UPS models You can install the Network Management Card in a card slot in a Smart-UPS or Symmetra UPS. Note: You cannot install this Network Management Card in a Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 550 UPS. In a Symmetra UPS that uses more than one APC management product, you must install the APC management products in the correct order for them to operate properly. See “How to Install Multiple Management Cards” on page 18.
Step 2: Install the Network Management Card The Network Management Card is sensitive to static electricity. When handling the Network Management Card, touch only the end plate while using one or more of these electrostatic-discharge devices (ESDs): wrist straps, heel straps, toe straps, or conductive shoes. For the location of the UPS card slot, see the UPS documentation. 1. Locate the UPS card slot. 2.
Expansion/Triple Chassis Installation When to use an Expansion Chassis Use an Expansion Chassis or a Triple Expansion Chassis if the UPS has no card slot available. When you install the Network Management Card in the chassis, the Network Management Card communicates with the UPS through the cable connection between the chassis and the UPS.
The Network Management Card is sensitive to static electricity. When handling the Network Management Card, touch only the end plate while using one or more of these electrostatic-discharge devices (ESDs): wrist straps, heel straps, toe straps, or conductive shoes. 1. If a cable is connected to the serial port at the UPS or chassis, stop the APC service that uses that serial connection, and disconnect the cable. 2. If you are installing a chassis, connect the chassis to the UPS serial port. mph0459a 3.
Quick Configuration Overview Note: Disregard the procedures described in this chapter if you have APC InfraStruXure® Central or InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the documentation for your InfraStruXure device for more information.
APC Device IP Configuration Wizard You can use the APC Device IP Configuration Wizard at a computer running Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows Server® 2003, or Windows XP to discover unconfigured Network Management Cards and configure their basic TCP/IP settings, one card at a time, over the network. Note: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured Network Management Cards. 1.
BOOTP. For the Network Management Card to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it must find a properly configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server. In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the Network Management Card’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, and, optionally, a bootup file name. Look for the MAC address on the bottom of the Network Management Card or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
Management Card can be configured to ignore DHCP offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following hexadecimal format. (The Card does not require this cookie by default). Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43 where – the first byte (01) is the code – the second byte (04) is the length – the remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookie. See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option.
Remote access to the command line interface From any computer on the same network as the Network Management Card, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to the Network Management Card, and then use Telnet to access its command line interface and configure the other TCP/IP settings. Note: After the Network Management Card has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that Network Management Card. 1.
Command line interface After you log on at the command line interface, as described in “Local access to the command line interface” on page 11 or “Remote access to the command line interface” on page 12, you can manually configure network settings. 1. Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Network Management Card. 2. Use these three commands to configure network settings. (Text in italics indicates a variable.) a.tcpip -i yourIPaddress b.
How to Recover from a Lost Password You can use a local computer that connects to the Network Management Card through the serial port to access the command line interface. 1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port. 2. Connect the provided serial cable (APC part number 940-0299) to the selected port on the computer and to the configuration port at the Network Management Card. 3.
How to Access a Configured Network Management Card Overview After the Network Management Card is running on your network, you can use the interfaces summarized here: Web interface, Telnet and SSH, SNMP, FTP, and SCP. For more information about the interfaces, see the User’s Guide. Web interface Use Microsoft Internet Explorer® (IE) 7.x or higher (on Windows operating systems only) or Mozilla® Firefox® 3.0.6 or higher (on all operating systems) to access the Web interface of the Network Management Card.
Telnet and SSH You can access the command line interface through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled. To enable these access methods, select the Administration tab, the Network menu on the top menu bar, and the access option under Console on the left navigation menu. By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables Telnet. Telnet for basic access.
SNMPv3 only. For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to identify users. An SNMPv3 user must have a user profile assigned in the MIB software program to perform GETs and SETs, browse the MIB, and receive traps. The default settings are no authentication and no privacy. Note: To use SNMPv3, you must have a MIB program that supports SNMPv3. The Network Management Card supports SHA or MD5 authentication and AES or DES encryption. SNMPv1 and SNMPv3.
How to Install Multiple Management Cards Overview When installing more than one APC management card, you must install the cards in the order described in this document because they share a serial link with the connected UPS. Installing the cards in any other order may result in failure for them to operate properly. Before you start The following table identifies the priority of the management cards you will be installing. Management cards that have more control over the UPS have higher priority.
Installing cards in an expansion chassis Install the lowest-priority cards in any available card slots in the UPS, and then use an expansion chassis for remaining higher-priority cards. In a Triple Expansion Chassis: • Install each card, starting with the lowest priority (see “Before you start” on page 18) in the lowest-numbered slot. • If you are installing a Network Management Card, install it in slot 3, even if you are leaving another slot empty.
For Symmetra models with 4, 3, or 2 slots, install each card, starting with the lowest priority (as listed in the table on page 18) in the lowest numbered slot. Use the following illustrations to determine model-specific slot numbering. • When 4 slots are available, arranged in a horizontal row, the lowest-numbered slot is at the right. • When slots are arranged in a vertical column: – If 3 slots are available, the lowest-numbered slot is at the top (as shown in the following illustration).
