Preliminary Information Features The American Power Conversion (APC®) Network Management Card has standard features that do the following: • Detect 10/100 Mbps connection speeds • Provide a data log accessible by File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure CoPy (SCP), or a Web browser • Provide an event log that is accessible by Telnet, Secure SHell (SSH), FTP, SCP, or a Web browser • Generate system log (Syslog) messages • Enable you to configure a BOOTstrap Protocol (BOOTP) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Inventory The Network Management Card package includes the following items: • This Installation Manual • Network Management Card • APC Network Management Card Utility CD • Serial configuration cable (940-0299) • Network Management Card quality assurance test slip • Declaration of Conformity • Warranty registration form Save the quality assurance test slip. The slip contains the MAC address that you may need when performing the procedures in “TCP/IP configuration methods” on page 4.
Installation in a Symmetra PX UPS You do not need to turn off the power for a Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 UPS before you remove or install the Management Card. The Network Management Card is sensitive to static electricity. When handling the 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.
Quick Configuration Overview Note: Disregard the procedures described in this chapter if you have APC InfraStruXure® Central 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.
If neither of these servers is available, see one of these sections to configure the needed TCP/IP settings: • “APC Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 5 • “Local access to the command line interface” on page 8 • “Remote access to the command line interface” on page 8 • “User interface display (Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 UPS)” on page 10. BOOTP.
DHCP. You can use an RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Network Management Card. This section summarizes the Network Management Card’s communication with a DHCP server. For more detail about how a DHCP server can configure the network settings for a Network Management Card, see “DHCP Configuration” in the Network Management Card User’s Guide on the Utility CD. 1.
Local access to the command line interface You can use a computer connected to the serial port on the front of the Network Management Card to access the command line interface. 1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port. 2. Use the provided serial cable (APC part number 940-0299) to connect the selected port to the serial port on the front panel of the Network Management Card. 3.
2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following commands: – Windows command format: ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113 – LINUX command format: ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113 3. Use Telnet to access the Network Management Card at its newly assigned IP address. For example: telnet 156.205.14.141 4. Use apc for both user name and password. See “Command line interface” on this page to finish the configuration.
User interface display (Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 UPS) To configure the IP address of a Network Management Card at the user interface display of the Symmetra PX UPS: 1. If you plan to manually assign the network settings, contact your system administrator to obtain a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Network Management Card. 2. At the user interface display, press the UPS System icon. 3. Select Configuration, then User Configuration. 4.
How to Recover from a Lost Password You can use a local computer that connects to the 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 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.
