APC - AP9641 - UPS Network Management Card with Network Shutdown and Environmental Monitoring

Product Information

You then need to change the terminal program's baud rate to match the one you selected in step 12. If you are using HyperTerminal select Call ->Disconnect and go to File->Properties->Configure and choose the correct speed.Accept the changes and then to reestablish the connectionchoose theCall menu->Connect to apply changes made to the serial port. Press to continue.

Open a terminal session. Configure the terminal session to 2400bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.If you are using HyperTerminal, select Call->Disconnect and then Call->Connect to apply the changes to the serial port. NOTE: Certain terminal emulation programs, such as PuTTy, do not support the XMODEM protocol. If the Management Card is installed in an Expansion Chassis or Triple Expansion Chassis, connect the provided configuration cable (APC part number 940-0299) to the serial port at the Management Card, or connect an RS-232 configuration cable (APC part number 940-0024) to the DB-9 serial port at the expansion chassis.If you connect an RS-232 configuration cable (APC part number 940-0024) to the DB-9 serial port of the expansion chassis, select 115200 bps. NOTE: This wizard will also not workwith any Network Management Card familyif the NMC was previously configured and not in DHCP or BOOTP boot mode. v5.0.0 and higher of the wizard, available from apc.com, allows you to locate unconfigured cards or locate configured cards on the network by IP range.

To perform a firmwareflashwith this method the Management Card must have been previously configured with a System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway and attached to the network. In addition, FTP Server must be enabled. Lastly, downgrades are not typically recommended but the manual methods can also be used to do those in certain circumstances. The SNMP looks to be the best supported option for remote, automated monitoring. Unfortunately for me, I have never found SNMP to be very attractive - too hard to find the data I need. Press the key several times. You should see a User Name prompt. If you do not see the prompt, ensure that you have the proper cable connected and that the communication settings are correct.

First it requires an NMC3 (which all soon will require a subscription). Fine. I got one. But oddly enough it cannot browse for a SSID, you have to manually enter one and then be smart enough to know what flavor of WPA2 your router uses (there are three options). Worse yet when you activate the wireless adapter the Ethernet port on your NMC3 is disabled.Users may wish to upgrade their firmware to take advantage of enhancements, bug fixes, or new features. Also, sometimes a firmware upgrade can be interrupted or unsuccessful and these instructions can be followed to remedy the problem. After connecting the correct cable, start the terminal emulation program of your choice. Configure port settings appropriately for the device you are attached to (refer to the User Guide for the particular device). Commonly usedport settings are as follows: Run a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, and configure the selected port for 57600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. NOTE:certain terminal emulation programs, such as PuTTy, do not support the XMODEM protocol. NOTE: If you wish to downgrade from v6.X.X to v5.1.X firmware on NMC2, please make sure you review Knowledge Base Article FA167693 prior.

bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control for initial configuration, 2400 bps for NMC configuration - refer to user's manual for more information Use a text editor to create a file named nmc3.rcf. (The file extension must be .rcf, not .txt for example.)NOTE: This method can be used to configure the embedded UPS NMC2 or optional secondary NMC2 for SRT models. Typically, these upgrades do not require the device the NetworkManagement Card is installed in to be powered down or cause unnecessary downtime.

If using the wizard over the network,please note, the previouslyunconfigured NMC must be on the same subnet as the computer running the wizard. An alternative method to using the wizard via the network methodmay be to use a direct network connection between a computer and the NMC you are trying to configure and running the wizard. Ultimately, your computer and the NMC will be on a peer to peer network which will allow for configuration as well. Use the tcpip command to configure manual network settings to assign manual IP settings. The tcpip command automatically changes your boot mode to manual once yousubmit it. It is necessary to issue a reboot commandimmediately after assigningyour manual settings. Text in italics indicates a variable. For each variable, type a numeric value that has the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Devices with an embedded Web/SNMP Card include (but are not limited to): Environmental Monitoring Unit 1 (AP9312TH)

There are different ways that you can upload the firmware for each device. Please choose a methodthat works best foryou.
