Web/SNMP Management SmartSlot Card
Functionality |
American Power Conversion’s Web/SNMP Management SmartSlot |
|
Card (APC part number AP9606) is a web-based UPS Management |
|
product that uses multiple, open standards such as Telnet, HTTP, and |
|
SNMP to provide full management of UPS systems. Through the Web/ |
|
SNMP Management SmartSlot Card, which is referred to as the |
|
Management Card in this guide, you can monitor and configure your |
|
APC UPS systems to shut down and reboot your computer systems. |
The Management Card can be installed into the following APC devices:
•UPS systems with card slots: Smart-UPS® , Matrix-UPS® , Symmetra® Power Array™, and Silcon™ DP300E series UPS (with the use of a SmartSlot Expansion Triple Chassis)
•SmartSlot Expansion Chassis (AP9600)
•SmartSlot Expansion Triple Chassis (AP9604, AP9604R, or AP9604SR)
Note: In addition to connecting the UPS to an Ethernet network, the Management Card is used to manage MasterSwitch II and MasterSwitch plus power distribution units, and the standalone Environmental Monitoring Unit. In order to provide such a range of support to specific devices, the Management Card uses different firmware application layers to control each device. For more information on how a Management Card is used with the MasterSwitch devices and the Environmental Monitoring Unit, see the documentation for those products.

Introduction
Overview |
The Management Card has two internal interfaces, the Control Console |
|
and the Web interface, which provide menus with options that allow you |
|
to manage the UPS, an Environmental Monitoring SmartSlot Card, and |
|
the Management Card. The Management Card’s SNMP interface allows |
|
you to use an SNMP browser with the APC MIB (PowerNet MIB) to |
|
manage the UPS and an Environmental Monitoring SmartSlot Card. |
|
For more information about the Management Card’s internal user |
|
interfaces, see Control Console on page 14 and Web Interface on |
|
page 20; for more information about how to use the APC MIB with an |
|
SNMP browser, see the PowerNet MIB Reference Guide which is |
|
provided on the APC Web/SNMP Management Card utility CD |
|
(.\doc\Mibguide.pdf) |
Login control |
Only one user at a time can log into the Management Card to use its |
|
internal user interface features. The priority for access, from highest to |
|
lowest, is as follows: |
|
• Local access to the Control Console from a computer with a |
|
direct serial connection to the Management Card |
|
• Telnet access to the Control Console from a remote computer |
|
• Web access |
|
Note: For information about how SNMP access to the Man- |
|
agement Card is controlled, see SNMP on page 29. |
Types of user |
The Management Card has two levels of access (Administrator and |
accounts |
Device Manager), both of which are protected by Password and User |
|
Name requirements. |
|
• An Administrator can use all of the management menus avail- |
|
able in the Control Console and the Web interface. The Admin- |
|
istrator’s default Password and User Name are both apc. |
|
• A Device Manager can access only the Log option in the |
|
Events menu and use the UPS and Environment menus. The |
|
Device Manager’s default Password is device, and the default |
|
User Name is apc. |
|
Note: The Management Card also uses a User Name and |
|
Password to protect FTP access to the Management |
|
Card, as described in FTP Client on page 28. |
|
For information about how to set Administrator and Device Manager |
|
Password and User Name settings, see User Manager on page 31. |

Introduction
Overview |
The Management Card is designed to recover from unanticipated |
|
inputs. Through the use of internal, system-wide watchdog |
|
mechanisms, the Management Card can detect most internal problems |
|
and reboot itself to recover. |
Network interface |
The Management Card implements numerous internal watchdog |
watchdog |
mechanisms to protect itself from becoming inaccessible over the |
mechanism |
network. For Example, if within a seven-minute period the Management |
|
Card does not receive any network traffic (either direct, such as SNMP, |
|
or broadcast, such as an Address Resolution Protocol [ARP] request) it |
|
assumes that there is a problem with its network interface and reboots |
|
itself. |
The role of the |
Most networks will have some level of broadcast traffic which will be |
Default Gateway in |
received by the Management Card and reset the seven-minute timer to |
resetting the |
zero. But since it is not desirable for the Management Card to reboot |
network timer |
just because the network is quiet, the Management Card will attempt to |
|
contact the Default Gateway once every five minutes. If the gateway is |
|
present, it will respond to the Management Card and the seven-minute |
|
timer will be reset to zero. |
|
If your application does not require a gateway or does not have one, |
|
specify the IP address of a computer on the same subnet which is |
|
running on the network most of the time. This will have the same effect |
|
as configuring a gateway. |

If the User Name or Password becomes unknown, you can use a local |
|
|
computer to restore access to a Management Card that uses the APC |
|
|
AOS module, version 3.0 (or later). The latest AOS version is available |
|
|
at the APC web site (www.apcc.com). |
|
Recovery |
To recover from a lost Password or User Name, do the following: |
|
procedure |
1. |
Select a serial port at the computer to be used for a terminal- |
|
||
|
|
emulation connection with the Management Card. |
|
2. |
Disable any service that currently uses the selected serial port, |
|
|
such as PowerChute plus or UNIX Respond. |
|
3. |
Disconnect any cable from the selected serial port and connect |
|
|
the smart-signaling cable (940-0024) that came with the |
|
|
Management Card to the selected serial port and to the serial |
|
|
port on the UPS or chassis. |
|
|
Note: If the computer uses smart-signaling PowerChute plus, |
|
|
omit Step 3: A smart-signaling cable (940-0024 or 940- |
|
|
1524) is already installed. |
|
4. |
Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal). |
|
5. |
Configure the serial port for 2400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 |
|
|
stop bit, and no flow control, and save the changes. |
|
6. |
Press ENTER to display the User Name prompt (you may need to |
|
|
press ENTER two or three times). |
|
7. |
Press the reset button on the Management Card. |
|
8. |
Press ENTER to redisplay the User Name prompt. |
|
9. |
Use apc for both the User Name and Password to log in. |
|
|
Note: If you take longer than 30 seconds to log in, you will |
|
|
need to repeat Step 6 through Step 8. |
|
10. |
