NOTE: This method can be used to configure the embedded UPS NMC2 or optional secondary NMC2 for SRT models. The SNMP looks to be the best supported option for remote, automated monitoring. Unfortunately for me, I have never found SNMP to be very attractive - too hard to find the data I need.

Your UPS display will look similar to one of the following types shown below. Press ESC to bring up the Menu, if not already displayed. NOTE: This wizard will also not workwith any Network Management Card familyif the NMC was previously configured and not in DHCP or BOOTP boot mode. v5.0.0 and higher of the wizard, available from apc.com, allows you to locate unconfigured cards or locate configured cards on the network by IP range. DHCP/BootP andretry optionsare only available in NMC2 AOS 5.0.X. It is no longer an option in AOS versions > 5.0.X If using the wizard over the network,please note, the previouslyunconfigured NMC must be on the same subnet as the computer running the wizard. An alternative method to using the wizard via the network methodmay be to use a direct network connection between a computer and the NMC you are trying to configure and running the wizard. Ultimately, your computer and the NMC will be on a peer to peer network which will allow for configuration as well. Insert the flash drive into a USB port on your NMC, see “Front Panel (AP9641)” and “Front Panel (AP9643)”. 8. Reboot the NMC and wait for the card to reboot fully.NOTE: If the boot monitor module must be updated, a boot monitor module is included in the firmware release. Otherwise, the boot monitor module that is installed on the card is compatible with the firmware update. Ifthere is no included bootmonitor file, upgrade theAOS binaryfirst. Devices with an embedded Web/SNMP Card include (but are not limited to): Environmental Monitoring Unit 1 (AP9312TH). Connect the Management Card to an available serial port on the host computer with the supplied cable (part number 940-0024). Updating or flashing firmware is necessary to implement new features, correct bugs, or when moving the network card from one UPS family to another. Obtain the latest firmware files from apc.com and extract them to a folder. Please note, USB may not allow for a firmware downgrade. You must use a manual method to accomplish a downgrade.

bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control for initial configuration, 2400 bps for NMC configuration - refer to user's manual for more information

Type XMODEM, then press ENTER. You will begin to see CCCCC scroll across the screen to indicate the Network Management Card is ready to receive a file. Configuration Method 5 - via Smart-UPS front panel LCD -(Supported SMT, SMX, and SRT * Models with UPS NMC2/NMC3) Connect the provided serial configuration cable (APC part number 940-0299) to the selected2.5mm Tip-Ring-Sleeve Consoleporton the Management Card itself. NOTE: For NMC1, SCP is supported and available as of AOS 2.0.0. If you have version 1.X.X, please upgrade to at least 2.X.X or the latest firmware version. The firmware executable will then begin the upgrade process. This process may take as long as 5-7 minutes to finish. Once finished, close the executable.

After connecting the correct cable, start the terminal emulation program of your choice. Configure port settings appropriately for the device you are attached to (refer to the User Guide for the particular device). Commonly usedport settings are as follows: Lastly, downgrades are not typically recommended but the manual methods can also be used to do those in certain circumstances.Run a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, and configure the selected port for 57600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. NOTE: Certain terminal emulation programs, such as PuTTy, do not support the XMODEM protocol.
