About Network Management Cards
A Network Management Card (NMC) is a piece of hardware that allows products to operate on a
network. There are two generations of NMC: NMC2 and NMC3. Rack PDUs with an NMC2 have
firmware v6.x.x or later. Rack PDUS wtih an NMC3 have firmware v1.x.x.1 or later.
At the time of this publication, the latest Security Handbook for devices with an NMC2 is
990-4910E, and the latest Security Handbook

for devices with an NMC3 is 990-91251D. You can
Types of User Accounts
The device has various levels of access (Super User, Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User,
Outlet User, and Network-Only User), which are protected by user name and password
requirements. Up to four users are allowed to login to the same device simultaneously (available in
AOS version 6.1.3 or later).
NOTE: You will be prompted to enter a new password the first time you connect to the RPDU with
the Super User account. The Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User, and Network-Only user
accounts are disabled by default, and cannot be enabled until the Super User default password
is changed.
(apc)
• An Administrator or the Super User can use all of the menus in the UI and all of the

• A Device User has read and write access to device-related screens. Administrative functions
like session management under the Security menu and Firewall under Logs appear grayed
out.
A Read-Only User has the following restricted access:
•
- Access to the same menus as a Device User, but without the capability to change
configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to
configuration options are visible but disabled. The event and data logs display no button to
clear the log.
An Outlet User has the following restricted access:
•
- Access through the Web User Interface and Command Line Interface.
- Access to the same menus as a Device User, but with limited capability to change
configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to
configuration options are visible but are disabled. The Outlet User has access to the Outlet
Control menu option that allows the user to control only the outlets assigned by the
Administrator. Outlet Users cannot clear the event or data logs. The user name and
password are defined by the Administrator during the process of adding a new Outlet User.
A Network-Only User (remote user) can only log on using the Web UI and CLI (Telnet or

Watchdog Features
Overview
To detect internal problems and recover from unanticipated inputs, the device uses internal,
system-wide watchdog mechanisms. When it restarts to recover from an internal problem, a
Network Interface Restarted event is recorded in the event log.
Network interface watchdog mechanism
The device implements internal watchdog mechanisms to protect itself from becoming
inaccessible over the network. For example, if the device does not receive any network traffic for
9.5 minutes (either direct traffic, such as SNMP, or broadcast traffic, such as an Address
Resolution Protocol [ARP] request), it assumes that there is a problem with its network interface
and restarts. The network interface watchdog mechanism is only enabled on a device that
discovers an active network interface connection at start-up.
Resetting the network timer
To ensure that the device does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, the device
attempts to contact the default gateway every 4.5 minutes. If the gateway is present, it responds to
the device and the response restarts the 9.5-minute timer. If your application does not require or
have a gateway, specify the IP address of a computer that is running on the network and is on the
same subnet. The network traffic of that computer will restart the 9.5-minute time frequently
enough to prevent the device from restarting.
EnergyWise
A device with an NMC2 (firmware v6.x.x or later) can become a Cisco EnergyWise Entity. This
entity reports power usage and alarms in the EnergyWise Domain.
To exercise this capability, plug the device network port into a Cisco switch/router that supports the
EnergyWise Domain. Log into the Web User Interface of the device and navigate to the
Configuration/R
The task will generate unique parent and children names, default roles, keywords and importance
values that comply with EnergyWise requirements. Customization of the aforementioned is
supported by clicking on any of the underlined entities to navigate to a configuration web page.
The EnergyWise port, domain name and shared secret may also be modified, but must be
coordinated with the same parameters in the Cisco gear.
The device implementation supports a single parent, multiple children hierarchy. The parent may
exist as a standalone device. The parent usage reports the power consumed by the devices
themselves. The children report either inlet power or, in the case of monitored outlets, the power
consumed at the outlet. Both parent and children report a usage level (0-10 scale). The parent and
let usage are always reported as 10 or “On”. In the case of switched outlets the actual state of
in
the switch is reported and may also be altered by the Cisco device.
The remaining configurable items are string variables that may be modified as needed and are
retained across power cycles or reboots.

Getting Started
To start using the device:
1. Install the device using the Installation Instructions that were shipped with your product.
2. Apply power and connect to your network. Follow the directions in the Installation Instructions.
3. Establish network settings
4. Begin using the device by way of one of the following:
- “Web User Interface” on page 82
- “Command Line Interface” on page 17
- “Device Display Pan
els” on page 1
Establish Network Settings
IPv4 initial setup
You must define three TCP/IP settings for the device before it can operate on the network:
• The IP address of the device
• The subnet mask of the device
• The IP address of the default gateway (only needed if you are going off segment)
NOTE: Do NOT use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so disables
the Network Management Card. To enable again, you must log on using a serial connection and
reset the TCP/IP settings to their defaults.
For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings,
HCP response options” on page 112
see.“D
IPv6 initial setup
IPv6 network configuration provides flexibility to accommodate your requirements. IPv6 can be
used anywhere an IP address is entered on this interface. You can configure manually,
automatically, or using DHCP.

TCP/IP configuration methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the device:
• “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 139
• “DHCP and BOOTP configuration”
• “Command Line Interface” on page 17
.ini file utility
You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured units to one or more
unconfigured units. For more information, see “C

Rack PDU and In-Line Current Meter AP7XXXB User Guide
DHCP and BOOTP configuration
The default TCP/IP configuration setting, DHCP, assumes that a properly configured DHCP server
is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Rack PDU. You can also configure the setting for
BOOTP.
A user configuration (INI) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot file. For more information,
see “Creating and importing settings with the config file” on page 128.
If neither of these servers is available, see “D
evice IP Configuration Wizard” on page 139.
BOOTP: For the product 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 product’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 product or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
When the unit reboots, the BOOTP
• If you specified a bootup file name, the unit attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP
server using TFTP or FTP. The unit assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
• If you did not specify a bootup file name, you can configure the other settings of the unit
remotely through its “W

server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
DHCP: You can use an RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP
settings for your device. This section summarizes the unit’s communication with a DHCP server.
For more detail about how a DHCP server can configure the network settings for your device, see
“DHCP response options” on page 1
1. The device sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself:
- A Vendor Class Identifier (APC by default)
12.
- A Client Identifier (by default, the MAC address of the device)
- A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the application firmware installed on
the device)
- A Host Name (by default, apcXXYYZZ with XXYYZZ being the last six digits of the de
SKU). This is known as DHCP Option 12.
2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes all the settings
that the product needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor
Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). The product can be configured to ignore DHCP
offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following
hexadecimal format. (The product does not require this cookie by default.)
Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43
Where:
- The first byte (01)
- 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.
is the code.
vice
NOTE: By selecting the Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address check
box in the Web User Interface, you can require the DHCP server to provide an “APC” cookie,
which supplies information to the device.

Command Line Interface
About the Command Line Interface (CLI)
NOTE: Depending on the features of your device, some of the CLI commands will not
apply.
You can use the Command Line Interface to view the status of and configure and manage the
device. In addition, the Command Line Interface enables you to create scripts for automated
operation. You can configure all parameters of a device (including those for which there are not
specific CLI commands) by using the CLI to transfer an INI file to the device. The CLI uses
XMODEM to perform the transfer, however, you cannot read the current INI file through XMODEM.
Log on to the CLI
To access the Command Line Interface, you can use either a local (serial) connection or a remote
(Telnet or SSH) connection with a computer on the same network as the device.
Local access to the Command Line Interface
For local access, use a computer that connects to the device through the serial port to access the
Command Line Interface:
1. Select a serial port at the computer and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Connect the serial cable (Schneider Electric part number 940-0144A) from the selected serial
port on the computer to the Serial port on the Rack PDU.
3. Run a terminal program (e.g., Tera Term or HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for

Remote access to the Command Line Interface
You can choose to access the Command Line Interface remotely through Telnet and/or SSH. SSH
is enabled by default. You can use the console command (page 31) to enable or disable either
Telnet or SSH.
If needed, you can also use the Web UI to enable or disable either Telnet or SSH. On the
Configuration tab, select Network from the menu to open the Console Access page. Click to
check the desired Enable box. Click Apply to save your changes or C
ancel to leave the page.
Telnet for basic access: Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and
password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption. Telnet is disabled by default.
To use Telnet to access the Command Line Interface:
1. From a computer that has access to the network on which the device is installed, at a
command prompt, type telnet
139.225.6.133, when the device uses the default Telnet port of 23), and press
If the device uses a non-default port number (from 5000 to 32768), you must include a colon
or a space, depending on your Telnet client, between the IP address (or DNS name) and the
port number. (These are commands for general usage: Some clients do not allow you to
specify the port as an argument and some types of Linux might want extra commands).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for the Super User).
If you cannot remember your user name or password, see “R
Password” on page 13.
and the IP address for the device (for example, telnet
ENTER.
ecovering from a Lost
SSH for high-security access: If you use the high security of SSL/TLS for the Web User
Interface, use SSH for access to the Command Line Interface. SSH encrypts user names,
passwords, and transmitted data. The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the
same whether you access the Command Line Interface through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH,
you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your computer. SSH is
enabled by default.

Command Syntax
Item Description
- Options are preceded by a hyphen.
< >
[ ]
|
Definitions of options are enclosed in angle brackets. For example:
-dp <device password>
If a command accepts multiple options or an option accepts mutually
exclusive arguments, the values may be enclosed in brackets.
A vertical line between items enclosed in brackets or angle brackets
indicates that the items are mutually exclusive. You must use one of the
items.
Example of a command that supports multiple options:
ftp [-p <port number>] [-S <enable | disable>]
In this example, the ftp command accepts the option -p, which defines the port number, and the
option -S, which enables or disables the FTP feature.
To change the FTP port number to 5010, and enable FTP:
1. Type the ftp command, the port option, and the argument 5010:
ftp -p 5010
2. After the first command succeeds, type the ftp command, the enable/disable option, and the
enable s
ftp -S enable
election:
Example of a command that accepts mutually exclusive arguments for an option:
alarmcount -p [all | warning | critical]
In this example, the option -p accepts only three arguments: all, warning, or critical. For example,
to view the number of active critical alarms, type:
alarmcount -p critical
The command will fail if you type an argument that is not specified.

Access: Super User, Administrator
Description: Complimentary function to “user” establishing default user preferences. There are
two main features for the default user settings:
• Determine the default values to populate in each of the fields when the Super User or
Administrator-level account creates a new user. These values can be changed before the
settings are applied to the system.
• For remote users (user accounts not stored in the system that are remotely authenticated such
as RADIUS) these are the values used for those that are not provided by the authenticating
server. For example, if a RADIUS server does not provide the user with a temperature
preference, the value defined in this section will be used.

Web User Interface
Supported Web Browsers
NOTE: Depending on the features of your device, some of the Web User Interface (Web UI)
pages described will not apply.
You can use the latest version of Microsoft
Apple Safari®, or Mozilla Firefox® to access the Rack PDU through its Web UI. Other commonly
available browsers and versions may work but have not been fully tested.
The device cannot work with a proxy server. Before you can use a Web browser to access the
Web User Interface of the device, you must do one of the following:
Configure the Web browser to disable the use of a proxy server for the device.
•
• Configure the proxy server so that it does not proxy the specific IP address of the device.
Log On to the Web User Interface
Overview
You can use the DNS name or System IP address of the device for the URL address of the Web
User Interface. Use your case-sensitive user name and password to log on.
Internet Explorer® (IE) or Edge®, Google Chrome®,
The default user name and password for the Super User are both apc. For all other user types,
there is no default user name or password. The Super User or an Administrator created by the
Super User, must define the user name and password and other account characteristics for these
users.
NOTE: If you are using HTTPS (SSL/TLS) as your access protocol, your login credentials are
compared with information in a server certificate. If the certificate was created with the Security
Wizard, and an IP address was specified as the common name in the certificate, you must use an
IP address to log on to the device. If a DNS name was specified as the common name on the
certificate, you must use a DNS name to log on.
You may receive a message that the Web page is not secure. This is normal, and you can
continue to the
Web UI. The warning is generated because your Web browser does not recognize the default
certificate used for encryption over HTTPS. However, information transmitted over HTTPS is still
encrypted. See the Security Handbook on www.apc.com for more details on HTTPS and
instructions to resolve the warning.

Set the Coldstart Delay for the Device
Path: Configuration > RPDU > Device
The Coldstart Delay is the number of seconds added to each outlet’s Power On Delay before an
outlet will turn on after power is applied to the device. Allowed values are from 1 to 300 seconds,
Immediate, or Never (never turn on).
1. Make a selection for Coldstart Delay.
2. Click Apply.
Set the Overload Outlet Restrictions
Path: Configuration > RPDU > Phase and Bank
Prevent users from applying power to outlets during an overload condition. You can set the
following restrictions for each phase and bank:
• None: Users can apply power to outlets regardless of an Overload Alarm or Near Overload
Warning.
• On Warning: Users cannot apply power to an outlet on the selected phase or bank if the
current for that phase or bank has exceeded the Near Overload Warning threshold.
• On Overload: Users cannot apply power to an outlet on the selected phase or bank if the
current for that phase or bank has exceeded the Overload Alarm threshold.
To set Overload Outlet Restrictions:
1. Click the Configuration tab, then RPDU, then phase or bank from the menu.
2. Make selections for Overload Outlet Restriction.
3. Click Apply.

Configure and Control Outlet Groups
Outlet group terminology
An outlet group consists of outlets that are logically linked together on the same device. Outlets
that are in an outlet group turn on, turn off, and reboot in a synchronized manner:
• A local outlet group consists of two or more outlets on a device. Only the outlets in that group
are synchronized.
• A global outlet group consists of one or more outlets on a device. One outlet is configured as a
global outlet, which logically links the outlet group to outlet groups on up to three other devices.
All outlets in the linked global outlet groups are synchronized.
- For global outlet groups, the initiator outlet group is the group that issued the action.
- For global outlet groups, a follower outlet group is any other outlet group that is
synchronized with the initiator outlet group.
When you apply an outlet control action to outlets that are members of an outlet group, the outlets
are synchronized as follows:
For a global outlet group, use the delay periods and reboot duration configured for the global
•
outlet of the initiator outlet group.
• For a local outlet group, the outlets use the delay periods and reboot duration of the lowestnumbered outlet in the group.
Purpose and benefits of outlet groups
By using groups of synchronized outlets on devices, you can ensure that outlets turn on, turn off,
and reboot in a synchronized manner. Synchronizing control group actions through outlet groups
provides the following benefits.
• Synchronized shutdown and startup of the power supplies of dual-corded servers prevents
erroneous reporting of power supply failures during a planned system shutdown or reboot.
Synchronizing outlets by using outlet groups provides more precise shutdown and restart
•
timing than relying on the delay periods of individual outlets.
• A global outlet is visible to the user interface of any device to which it is linked.
System requirements for outlet groups
To set up and use synchronized outlet control groups:
• You need a computer that can initiate synchronized control operations through the Web User
Interface or Command Line Interface of the devices or through SNMP.
All of the Rack devices must use firmware that has the same version number for both APC’s
•
APC Operating System (AOS) module and the application module.
• All of the devices must be configured with the same “Member Name”.
• If you are using Network mode, you will also need the following items.
- You need a 10/100Base-T TCP/IP network, with an Ethernet hub or switch that has a power
source not shared by the computers or other devices being synchronized.
- All of the devices must be on the same subnet.
- Outlet groups you synchronize must have the same Multicast IP address, outlet group port,
authentication phrase, and encryption phrase. Make sure each Ethernet switch that
connects devices allows Multicast network traffic for that Multicast IP address.

Rules for configuring outlet groups
For a system that uses outlet groups, the following rules apply:
• A device can have more than one outlet group, but an outlet can belong to only one outlet
group.
• A local outlet group, which has no global outlet, must consist of two or more outlets.
• You can synchronize a global outlet group on one device with a global outlet group on each of
three other devices.
- In a global outlet group, you can designate only one outlet to be a global outlet, linking to
outlet groups on other devices for the purpose of synchronization. That global outlet can be
the only outlet in its group, or the group can consist of multiple outlets.
- A global outlet of one outlet group must have the same physical outlet number as the global
outlet of any other outlet group to which it links.
To create and configure outlet groups, you must use the Web User Interface or export
•
configuration file (.ini file) settings from a configured device. The Command Line Interface lets
you display whether an outlet is a member of an outlet group and lets you apply control actions
to an outlet group, but the Command Line Interface does not let you set up or configure an
outlet group.
