Step 2. Configure the IP address for the CyberPower Remote Management Card
Note: These instructions are for Windows OS. For other OS please refer to Appendix 2.
Method 1: Using the Power Device Network Utility tool
1. Install the Power Device Network Utility tool available for download on the Network Power
Management product web page at www.CyberPower.com.
2. After installation completes, run the “Power Device Network Utility”.
3. The main dialog of the Power Device Network Utility Tool program is shown in Figure 1. The
configuration tool will display all CyberPower Remote Management devices present on the same
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.

8. If the IP address change is successful, you will see a message confirming the IP set up is OK, as
shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Setup IP Address successfully message.
Method 2: Using a command prompt
1. Obtain the MAC address from the label on the Remote Management Card. Each Management
Card has a unique MAC address.
Note: The MAC address is labelled on the card.
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 “arp -s 192.168.10.134 00-0C-15-00-FF-99” then press Enter.
3. Use the Ping command to assign a size of 123 bytes to the IP.
(1) Type in “ping 192.168.10.134 -l 123” then press Enter.
(2) If the replies are received, your computer can communicate with the IP address.
To select an IP address for the Remote Management Card, please refer to Appendix 1.

Definition
Supplied Power
Voltage
Set the output voltage which is supplied to the connected equipment.
Utility Power Failure
Condition
High/Low Input (or
Output) Voltage
Threshold
When the utility power voltage or output voltage (depending on UPS
model) is higher/lower than the threshold, the UPS will supply battery
power to the connected equipment. This setting only comes into
effect after a restart of the UPS.
Utility Sensitivity
When the UPS detects the utility voltage is out of range, the UPS will
switch to battery mode to protect the equipment plugged into the
UPS. Low sensitivity has a looser voltage range and the supplied
power may vary more widely. The power from fuel generator may
cause the UPS to switch to battery mode more frequently, and the
low sensitivity is recommended. The UPS switches to battery mode
rarely and also saves more battery power. High sensitivity allows the
UPS to supply the more stable power to equipments and switches to
battery mode frequently.
Frequency Tolerance
Sets the acceptable range of the input frequency. The UPS will
supply battery power to the connected equipment if it is out of
tolerance.
Operation
Normal
Normal operating mode of the UPS.
Generator Mode
If the UPS uses generator as its input power, this option should

CyberPower Remote Management System
enable the UPS to function normally. If this option is selected, the
UPS will be forbidden to enter Bypass mode or ECO mode to protect
the connected equipment.
ECO Mode
On-line UPS enters Economy mode. The UPS will enter Bypass
mode when the input voltage/frequency is within the configured
threshold. Once the utility voltage/frequency exceeds thresholds, the
UPS will switch to Normal operation.
Manual Bypass
Determines whether to allow the UPS to enter Manual Bypass mode.
If this option is enabled, the UPS will be forced to enter Bypass
mode.
Bypass
Note: The UPS may automatically enter Bypass Mode per these
configured settings.
Bypass Condition
No Bypass: If this option is selected, the UPS will not enter Bypass
mode and will stop supplying output power.
Check Volt/Freq: If the utility voltage is in the range of the voltage
thresholds and the utility frequency is in range of the frequency
tolerance, the UPS will enter Bypass mode. Otherwise the UPS will
stop supplying output power.
Check Volt Only: Only if the utility voltage is in the range of the
voltage thresholds, the UPS will enter Bypass mode. Otherwise the
UPS will stop supplying output power.
Bypass When UPS Off
When the UPS turn off, the UPS switch to Bypass Mode.
Power Restore
After utility power is restored, the UPS turns on automatically and
supplies power to the connected equipment. The following settings
are used to configure the UPS restore behavior:
Automatic Restore
When this option is enabled, the UPS will restore output immediately
when the utility power restores. When this option is disabled, the
UPS will not restore output at that moment and users have to turn it
on manually at a later time.
Recharged Delay
When utility power restores, the UPS will start to recharge until the
specified delay is expired before restoring output power.
Recharged Capacity
When utility power restores, the UPS will start to recharge until the
specified battery capacity is met before restoring output power.
Returned Delay
The Returned Delay will take effect every time when the UPS is
turned on. This also includes the scheduling and user controlling
task.
Line Stable Delay
When the UPS is in battery mode and utility power restored, the UPS
would wait for the specific delay time to change battery mode to line
mode. When the UPS battery is already lower then Low Battery
Threshold and utility power restored, the UPS would return to line
mode immediately.
