UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide2
Internal Management Features
Overview
Use the Web interface or the command line interface to view the status of the UPS and manage the UPS
and the Management Card. You can also use SNMP to monitor the status of the UPS.
For more information about the internal user interfaces, see “Web Interface” on page 26 and
“Command Line Interface” on page 8. See “SNMP” on page 67 for information about how
SNMP access to the Management Card is controlled.
Access priority for logging on
Only one user at a time can log on to the Management Card. The priority for access, beginning with the
highest priority, is as follows:
• Local access to the command line interface from a computer with a direct serial connection to the
Management Card
• Telnet or SSH access to the command line interface from a remote computer
• Web access, either directly or through InfraStruXure Central
Note: SNMP has Write + and Write access. Write + has top access and enables logging on
when another user is already logged on. Write access is equivalent to Web access.
Types of user accounts
The Management Card has three levels of access (Administrator, Device User, and Read-Only User),
which are protected by user name and password requirements.
• An Administrator can use all of the menus in the Web interface and all of the commands in the
command line interface. The default user name and password are both apc.
• A Device User can access only the following:
– In the Web interface, the menus on the UPS tab and the event and data logs, accessible under
the Events and Data headings on th e left navigati on menu of the Logs tab. The event and data
logs display no button to clear the log.
– In the command line interface, the equivalent features and options.
The default user name is device, and the default password is apc.
• A Read-Only User has the following restricted access:
– Access through the Web interface only.
– Access to the same tabs and 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.
The default user name is readonly, and the default password is apc.
To set User Name and Password values for the three account types, see “Setting user access”
on page 56.

Flashing orange The Management Card is receiving or transmitting data packets at 100 Mbps.
Watchdog Features
Overview
To detect internal problems and recover from unanticipated inputs, the Management Card uses internal,
system-wide watchdog mechanisms. When it restarts to recover from an internal problem, a System:
Warmstart event is recorded in the event log.
Network interface watchdog mechanism
The Management Card implements internal watchdog mechanisms to protect itself from becoming
inaccessible over the network. For example, if the Management Card 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.
Resetting the network timer
To ensure that the Management Card does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, the
Management Card attempts to contact the default gateway every 4.5 minutes. If the gateway is present, it
responds to the Management Card, and that 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 timer
frequently enough to prevent the Management Card from restarting.

Command Line Interface
How To Log On
Overview
You can use either a local (serial) connection, or a remote (Telnet or SSH) connection with a computer
on the same network as the Management Card to access the command line interface.
Use case-sensitive user name and password entries to log on (by default, apc and apc for an
Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User). A Read-Only User cannot access the command line
interface.
If you cannot remember your user name or password, see “How to Recover from a Lost
Password” on page 4.
Remote access to the command line interface
You can access the command line interface through Telnet or SSH. Telnet is enabled by default. Enabling
SSH disables Telnet.
To enable or disable these access methods, use the Web interface. On the Administration tab, select
Network on the top menu bar, and then the access option under Console on the left navigation menu.
Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and
password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption.
To use Telnet to access the command line interface:
1. From a computer that has access to network on which the Management Card is installed, at a
command prompt, type
telnet 139.225.6.133, when the Management Card uses the default T e ln et por t of 23), and
press
ENTER.
If the Management Card 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 don’t 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 an Administrator, or device and
apc for a Device User).
SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web 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.
telnet and the IP address for the Management Card (for example,
UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide8
Local access to the command line interface
For local access, use a computer that connects to the Management Card through the serial port to access
the command line interface:
1. Select a serial port at the computer and disable any service that uses the port.
2. Connect the provided serial cable (APC part number 940-0299) from the selected port on the
computer to the configuration port at the Management Card.
3. Run a terminal program (e.g., HyperTerminal), and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Press
ENTER. At the prompts, enter your user name and password.

Syntax examples
A command that supports multiple options:
user [-an <admin name>] [-ap <admin password>]
In this example, the user command accepts the option -an, which defines the Administrator user name,
and the option
-ap, which defines the Administrator password. To change the Administrator user name
and password to XYZ:
1. Type the
user -ap XYZ
user command, one option, and the argument XYZ:
2. After the first command succeeds, type the user command, the second option, and the argument
XYZ:
user -an XYZ
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.
