and slide the plate out.
2. Install the UPS Network Module along the alignment channels
in the option slot.
3. If the UPS is powered up, you can be sure that the UPS
Network Module is seated properly and communicating with
the UPS by verifying that the UPS Data LED illuminates solid
green, and then flashes regularly after 2 minutes.
4. Secure the UPS Network Module using the two screws you
removed in step 1.
Connecting the network cable
Connect a standard Ethernet cable between the network connector
on the UPS Network Module and a network jack.

This connection is used to access the UPS Network Module remotely
through the web interface. The UPS Network Module also uses the
network connection to communicate to the configured HP Power
Protector — Clients and to facilitate SNMP-based monitoring.
Connecting the configuration
cable
1. Connect the DB-9 connector on the DB-9 to RJ-45 cable to a
serial connector on the host computer.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the DB-9 to RJ-45 cable to the
Settings/AUX connector on the UPS Network Module.
This connection is used to access and configure the UPS Network
Module network settings locally through a terminal emulation
program.
Launching a terminal emulation
program
NOTE: HyperTerminal is the serial communication
program provided with Microsoft® Windows® and is
used in this section as an example for setting up a
terminal emulation session. If you are using another
utility, the steps might be different.
1. Be sure that the UPS is powered on.
2. On the host computer, click Start, and select
Programs>Accessories>Communications>HyperTerminal.
The Connection Description window appears.
3. Enter a description, select an icon for the connection, and then
click OK. The Connect To window appears.
4. Select the serial connector on the host computer to which the
DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter is attached, and then click OK. The
COM Properties window appears.
5. Select the following parameter values, and then click OK.
o Bits per second—9600
o Data bits—8
o Parity—None
o Stop bits—1
o Flow control—None
Configuring the UPS Network
Module network settings
On the terminal emulation session screen running on the host
computer:
1. Press any key. The initialization process completes, and you
are prompted enter the password.
2. At the prompt, enter admin. The HP UPS Network Module
Configuration Menu appears.
Use the HP UPS Network Module Configuration Menu to

Network Module remotely.
IMPORTANT: The IP address assigned to the UPS
Network Module must be fixed. If the IP address
changes:
• The HP Power Protector — Client loses
communication with the UPS Network Module.
• You can lose track of the UPS Network Module URL.
3. If your network is configured with a DHCP server, the network
settings are automatically assigned. To view the settings:
a. On the Main menu, enter 2 to display the Network
Configuration submenu.
b. Enter 1 to read the network settings.
c. Record the IP address.
d. Enter 0 to return to the Main menu.

c. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the static IP
parameters. A Done message appears when the
parameters are saved.
d. Enter 0 to return to the Main menu.
e. Enter 1 to reset, and then enter 2 to restart the UPS
Network Module with the new IP settings.
Accessing the web interface
CAUTION: It is highly recommended that browser access
to the UPS Network Module is isolated from outside
access using a firewall or isolated network.
1. On a network computer, launch a supported browser. The
browser window appears.
2. In the Address field (Microsoft Internet Explorer) or the Location
field (Mozilla and Firefox), enter:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-orhttps://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the static IP address of the UPS
