Quick Configuration

Overview

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the

 

Management Card can operate on a network:

 

The IP address of the Management Card

 

The subnet mask

 

The default gateway

 

 

 

If a default gateway is unavailable, use the

 

 

 

IP address of a computer located on the

 

 

 

same subnet as the Management Card that

 

 

 

is usually running. The Management Card

 

 

 

uses the default gateway to test the network

 

 

 

when traffic is very light. See “Watchdog

 

 

Note

Features” in the “Introduction” of the

 

 

Network Management Card User’s Guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

(.\doc\usrguide.pdf) for more information

 

 

 

about the watchdog role of the default

 

 

 

gateway.

TCP/IP

Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings

needed by the Management Card:

methods

The APC Management Card Wizard (see “APC

 

 

Management Card Wizard” on page 11)

 

A DHCP or BOOTP server (see “BOOTP & DHCP

 

 

configuration” on page 11)

 

A local computer (see “Local access to the control

AP9618, AP9619 specifications

The APC AP9618 and AP9619 are advanced network management cards designed for use with APC's uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). These integral components facilitate effective monitoring and management of power solutions, catering to both small and large IT environments.

One of the standout features of the AP9618 and AP9619 is their SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) compatibility. This allows for seamless integration into existing network management systems, ensuring that users can easily monitor their power infrastructure alongside their other IT resources. Both models support standard SNMP management protocols and provide users with real-time data about UPS performance and status.

The AP9618 and AP9619 cards also feature advanced web management interfaces. Users can access the interface through any standard web browser, enabling remote management without the need for additional software. This web interface displays critical information such as input voltage, output load, battery status, and runtime estimates, empowering users to make informed decisions regarding their power systems.

Another essential characteristic of these network management cards is their environmental monitoring capabilities. The AP9618 and AP9619 allow for the connection of external temperature and humidity sensors. This feature helps users assess the environmental conditions in which their UPS operates, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the equipment.

Enhanced security is also a key focus of the AP9618 and AP9619. They support various authentication methods including RADIUS and LDAP, which protect the management interface from unauthorized access. Additionally, users can configure alert notifications via email or SNMP traps, ensuring that critical events and changes in UPS status are promptly communicated.

In terms of compatibility, the AP9618 and AP9619 are designed to work with a wide range of APC UPS models, making them versatile options for users with varied power management needs.

In summary, the APC AP9618 and AP9619 network management cards are robust solutions that enhance the monitoring, management, and security of uninterruptible power supplies. With their support for SNMP, advanced web management, environmental monitoring capabilities, and enhanced security features, these cards are invaluable for any organization looking to improve their power management infrastructure.
