APC - AP9641 - UPS Network Management Card with Network Shutdown and Environmental Monitoring

Product Information

Devices with an embedded Web/SNMP Card include (but are not limited to): Environmental Monitoring Unit 1 (AP9312TH) NOTE: These instructions can also be used in devices that have embedded (mini) versions of the above Network Management Cards. 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.

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. If your network is setup correctly (described below),you will be able to access "unconfigured" / just-out-of-the-box NMCs by referencing the NMC as follows: Repeat Steps 3 - 8 again for the application module (sumx for Smart UPS/Matrix, sy for Symmetra, etc). In Step 6, substitute the sumx module file name, in place of the AOS module file name. Or the sy prefix for the Symmetra.Press the Reset button on the Management Card or reseat the Network Management Card in the SmartSlot, then immediately start pressing the key repeatedly until the Boot Monitor prompt displays: BM>. Once you have entered Boot Monitor mode correctly, the Network Management Card 3's status LED will be solid orange in color. (Boot Monitor mode is required on NMC3 for an XMODEM upgrade in any situation.) NOTE: Ifyou are interested in upgradingmultiple devices at a time, refer to knowledge baseFA156117.

This unit is not required unless you are planning on managing multiple remote UPS. If you are deploying many APC UPS, it is essential. Connect to theUPS/device serial port using the correctAPC configuration cable. Part numbers are below for common devices. Please refer to the User Guide if you are not sure or your device is not listed. 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 To install the application module, repeat step 5 and step 6. In step 6, use the application module file name. Ships with AP9630 pre-installed in units manufactured post 2012. Older G7000 models require a special upgrade kit pre-2012 manufacture date.NOTE: If your UPS LCD menu doesn't have the Configure NMC: option after putting the UPS LCD menu in Advanced mode, you may have one or more of the following happening: 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:

Updating or flashing firmware is necessary to implement new features, correct bugs, or when moving the network card from one UPS family to another. NOTE:To upgrade multiple Management Cards using an FTP client or using SCP, write a script which automatically performs the procedure. Find the firmware file. This one is “Network Management Card v6.5.0 Firmware for Symmetra 3-Phase with AP9630/AP9631/AP9635” If the Management Card is installed in an Expansion Chassis or Triple Expansion Chassis, connect the provided configuration cable (APC part number 940-0299) to the serial port at the Management Card, or connect an RS-232 configuration cable (APC part number 940-0024) to the DB-9 serial port at the expansion chassis. If you connect an RS-232 configuration cable (APC part number 940-0024) to the DB-9 serial port of the expansion chassis, select 115200 bps.Your device came pre-loaded with the wrong application and you need to load the correct application.
