Web/SNMP Management SmartSlot Card

Introduction

Product Description

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

Internal Management Features

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

Watchdog Features

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.
