INTRODUCTION

Overview

The CyberPower Remote Management Card allows a UPS/ATS
PDU system and environmental sensor to be managed, monitored,
and configured. After installing the hardware and configuring an IP
address, the user can access, monitor, and control the UPS/ATS
PDU from anywhere in the world! Simply use a web browser or SSH
client to access your UPS/ATS PDU. Servers and workstations can
be protected by the UPS utilizing PowerPanel® Business Edition
Client to gracefully shutdown when signaled by the Remote
Management Card.

Step 2. Configure the IP Address for the CyberPower

Remote Management Card

Method 1: Using the Power Device Network Utility

1. Install the Power Device Network Utility available for
download at www.CyberPower.com.

2. After installation completes, run the “Power Device Network
Utility”.

3. The main window of the Power Device Network Utility
program is shown in Figure 1. The configuration tool will
display all CyberPower Remote Management devices present
on the local network subnet. The "Refresh" button is used to
search the local network subnet again.

Figure 1. The main window of the “Power Device Network Utility” program

4. Select the Remote Management Card you are setting up. Click
on the Tools menu and select “Device Setup” or double click
the Remote Management Card you want to configure.

5. You can modify the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway address for the
Device MAC Address listed in
the Device Network Settings
window, as shown in Figure

2. The factory default IP
Address is 192.168.20.177
and the default Subnet Mask
is 255.255.255.0.

6. Modify the IP, subnet mask or
gateway address. Enter the
new addresses into the
corresponding fields and then
click “Save”.

Systems ocal website: www.CyberPower.com.

1. Obtain the MAC address from the label on the Remote
Management Card. Each Management Card has a unique MAC
address.

2. Use the ARP command to set the IP address.

Example:

To assign the IP Address 192.168.10.134 for the Remote
Management Card, which has a MAC address of
00-0C-15-00-FF-99 you will type in the following in the
command prompt from a PC connected to the same network
as the Remote Management Card.

-

(1) Type in

press Enter.

3. Use the Ping command to assign a size of 123 bytes to the IP.
(1) Type in
(2) If the replies are received, your computer can

communicate with the IP address.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Solution

1. Check the LED status, it is normal when
the yellow and green LEDs are both on.

If green LED is o:

Check if the Remote Management Card is

►

Unable to configure
the Remote
Management Card IP
Address using method
1 or method 2

Unable to ping the
Remote Management
Card

Lost the user name
and password

Default Network
Setting

Unable to access the
Web Interface

Unable to operate a
SNMP get/set

Unable to receive traps

properly seated in the device and the
device has power.

If yellow LED is o:

Ensure the network connection is good.

►

2. Ensure the PC being used is on the same
local network subnet as the CyberPower
device you are trying to communicate
with.

3. Ensure the Jumper on the Reset Pin is
correctly installed.

1. Use method 1 and/or method 2 to get/set
a correct IP address for the Remote
Management Card.

2. If the PC being used is on a dierent
network subnet from the Remote
Management Card, verify the setting of
subnet mask and the IP address of
gateway.

Please refer to the “Reset to Factory Default
Setting / Recover from a Lost Password”
section.

IP: 192.168.20.177
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP: On

1. Ensure you can ping the RMCARD.

2. Ensure you are specifying the correct URL.

3. Ensure the HTTP/HTTPS access is enabled
by logging in to the card via CLI (Telnet or
SSH client).

SNMPv1: Verify the community name.
SNMPv3: Verify the user profile configuration.

1. Ensure the trap types (SNMPv1/SNMPv3)
and trap receiver are configured correctly.

2. Ensure the IP address of gateway is
configured correctly if the RMCARD and
NMS are on a dierent network.
