88UPS Network Management Card 3 User Guide
To extract the firmware file:
1. After obtaining the file from the downloaded firmware upgrade file, run the Firmware Upgrade Utility
(the .exe file).
2. At the prompts, click Next >, then specify the directory location to which the file will be extracted.
3. When the Extraction Complete message displays, close the dialog box.
Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one Network Management Card
FTP. To use FTP to upgrade an NMC over the network:
• The NMC must be on the network, with its system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway configured.
• The FTP server must be enabled at the NMC, see “FTP Server”.
To transfer the file, perform these steps:
1. The firmware module file must be extracted, see “To extract the firmware file:”.
2. At a computer on the network, open a command prompt window. Go to the directory that contains the
firmware file, and list the files:
C:\>cd apc
C:\apc>dir
For file information, see “Firmware module files (Network Management Card 3)”.
3. Open an FTP client session:
C:\apc>ftp
4. Type open with the IP address of the NMC, and press
ENTER. If the port setting for the FTP Server
has changed from its default of 21, you must use the non-default value in the FTP command.
• For Windows FTP clients, separate a non-default port number from the IP address by a
space. For example (showing a space before 21000):
ftp> open 150.250.6.10 21000
• Some FTP clients require a colon instead before the port number.
5. Log on as Administrator (apc is the default user name and password).
6. Upgrade the firmware.
ftp> bin
ftp> put apc_hw21_AA_v-v-v-v.nmc3 (where AA is the application, e.g. SU, and v-v-v-v is the
firmware version number)
7. When FTP confirms the transfer, type quit to close the session.
SCP. To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for the NMC, follow these steps:
1. Locate the firmware module, see “Using the Utility for manual upgrades, primarily on Linux.”.
2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the .nmc3 file to the NMC. The following example uses v-v-v-
v to represent the version number of the application module:
scp apc_hw21_SU_v-v-v-v.nmc3 apc@158.205.6.185:apc_SU_v-v-v-v.nmc3
NOTE: To use SCP, SSH must be enabled. See “Console screen” to enable SSH.
Use XMODEM to upgrade one NMC
To use XMODEM to upgrade one NMC that is not on the network, you must extract the firmware file with the
Firmware Upgrade Utility (see “To extract the firmware file:”).
