150/175 kVA Network Management Configuration
Network Management Configuration
Overview
NOTE: For complete Network Management Card setup instructions, see the
online User Guide at www.apc.com.
Initial Setup
You must configure the following three TCP/IP settings before the PDU can
operate on a network:
• IP address of the PDU
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer (that is
usually running) located on the same subnet as the NMC. The NMC uses the
default gateway to test the network when traffic is light.
NOTE: Do not use the loopback address as the default gateway address for
the Network Management Card. You will lose communication with the
equipment. Doing so will disable the card and require you to reset TCP/IP
settings to their defaults using a local serial login.
TCP/IP Configuration Methods
Use one of the following methods to define the basic TCP/IP settings needed by
the Network Management Card.
• Device IP Configuration Wizard
• BOOTP or DHCP server
• Networked computer
• Display interface
Device IP Configuration Wizard
The Wizard runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP
operating systems. The Device IP Configuration Wizard configures the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway of one or more NMCs.
You can use the Wizard in either of the following ways:
• Remotely over your TCP/IP network to discover and configure unconfigured
NMCs on the same network segment as the computer running the Wizard.
• Through a direct connection from a serial port of your computer to the PDU to
configure or reconfigure it.
Installation
Install the Wizard from a downloaded executable file:
1. Go to www.apc.com.
2. Download the Device IP Configuration Wizard.
3. Run the executable file in the folder in which it was downloaded.
Launch the Wizard
The installation creates a shortcut link in the Start menu to launch the Wizard.
Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover
unconfigured NMCs.

Network Management Configuration 150/175 kVA
Supported Web Browsers
Use Microsoft® Internet Explorer (IE) 7.x and higher (Windows operating
systems) or Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6 or higher (all operating systems) to access the
NMC through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers may work but
have not been fully tested by Schneider Electric. The NMC cannot work with a
proxy server. Before using a Web browser to access its Web interface, do one of
the following:
• Configure the Web browser to disable the use of a proxy server for the NMC.
• Configure the proxy server so that it does not proxy the specific IP address of
the NMC.

URL Address Formats
Use the DNS name or System IP address of the NMC for the URL address of the
Web interface. The default user name differs by account type:
• apc for a Super User
• device for a Device user
• readonly for a Read-Only user
If you are using HTTPS (SSL/TSL) as your access protocol, your logon credentials
are compared with information in a server certificate. If the certificate was created
with the APC Security Wizard, and an IP address was specified as the common
name in the certificate, you must use an IP address to log on to the NMC. If a DNS
name was specified as the common name on the certificate, you must use a DNS
name to log on.
Type the DNS name or IP address of the NMC in the URL address field of the
Web browser and press ENTER. When you specify a non-default Web server port
in Internet Explorer, you must include http:// or https:// in the URL.

Security
Access Priority for Logging On
Only one user at a time can log on to the Modular PDU.
• Local access from a computer with a direct serial connection to the Modular
PDU.
• Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH) access to the control console from a remote
computer.
• Web access, either directly or through StruxureWare Central.
User Accounts
The three levels of access are protected by user name and password
requirements. During authentication, the user's credentials are compared against
the Local User Database and/or are validated against a RADIUS server
(depending on configuration). If valid, access with appropriate permissions is
granted.
• An Administrator can use all the menus in the Web interface. The default user
name for the Administrator User is apc.
• A Device User can access only the menus on the Home, Power Distribution,
and Logs tabs in the Web interface. The default user name for the Device
User is device.
• A Read-Only User has only Web interface access. The same menus as
Device User are visible but no changes can be made. Links to configuration
options are visible but disabled. Event and data logs display no button to clear
the log. The default user name is readonly.
Watchdog Features
Watchdog mechanisms detect internal problems. After a restart, a System:
Warmstart event is recorded in the event log.
Network Interface Watchdog Mechanism
Watchdog mechanisms protect the NMC from becoming inaccessible over the
network. If it does not receive any network traffic for 9.5 minutes, it assumes there
is a problem with its interface and restarts.
Resetting the Network Timer
To ensure the NMC does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, it
attempts to contact the default gateway every 4.5 minutes. The gateway response
resets 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 most of the
time and is on the same subnet. The network traffic of that computer will restart
the 9.5-minute timer frequently enough to prevent the NMC from restarting.

Parts Replacement
Determine if you Need a Replacement Part
To determine if you need a replacement part, contact Schneider Electric Customer
Support and follow the procedure below so that a representative can assist you
promptly:
1. The display interface may show additional screens if module replacement is
necessary. Press any key to scroll through these lists, record the information,
and provide it to the representative.
2. Write down the serial number of the unit so that you will have it easily
accessible when you contact Customer Support.
3. If possible, call Customer Support from a telephone that is within reach of the
unit so that you can gather and report additional information to the
representative.
4. Be prepared to provide a detailed description of the problem. A representative
will attempt to help you over the telephone, if possible, or will assign a Return
Material Authorization (RMA) number to you. If a module is returned, this
RMA number must be clearly printed on the outside of the package.
Return Parts
5. If the unit is within the warranty period, repairs or replacements will be
performed free of charge. If it is not within the warranty period, there will be a
charge.
6. If the unit is covered by a service contract, have the contract available to
provide information to the representative.
Contact Customer Support to obtain an Returned Materials Authorization (RMA)
number.
To return a module, pack the module in the original shipping materials, and return
it by insured, prepaid carrier. The Customer Support representative will provide
the destination address. If you no longer have the original shipping materials, ask
the representative about obtaining a new set. Pack the module properly to avoid
damage in transit. Never use Styrofoam beads or other loose packaging materials
when shipping a module, as the module may settle in transit and become
damaged. Enclose a letter in the package with your name, RMA number, address,
a copy of the sales receipt, description of the problem, a phone number, and a
check as payment (if necessary).
NOTE: Damages sustained in transit are not covered under warranty.
