1. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Wizard

 

from the APC Network Management Card utility CD.

 

2. Launch the Wizard, when prompted, or, if prompted to

 

restart the computer, access the Wizard from the Start

 

menu after the computer has restarted.

 

3. Wait for the Wizard to discover the unconfigured

BOOTP & DHCP

The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the Management

configuration

Card’s Network menu, identifies how the TCP/IP settings will

 

be defined. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP only,

 

BOOTP only, and DHCP&BOOTP (the default setting).

The DHCP&BOOTP setting assumes that a properly configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to APC Network Management Cards. If these servers are unavailable, see “APC Management Card Wizard” on page 11, “Local access to the control

Note

console” on page 14, or “Remote access to the

 

 

control console” on page 15 to configure the

 

needed TCP/IP settings.

With Boot Mode set to DHCP&BOOTP, the Management Card attempts to discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, then a DHCP server, and repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.

For more information about using a server to configure a Management Card’s TCP/IP settings, see “BOOTP” on page 12 or “DHCP” on page 13.

AP9617 specifications

The APC AP9617 is a vital component for data center management and power management solutions, designed by APC by Schneider Electric. This intelligent network management card is engineered to provide enhanced monitoring and control of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), ensuring consistent power availability and optimal performance in a variety of environments.

One of the main features of the AP9617 is its ability to connect via Ethernet, enabling remote monitoring and management of the UPS status through a web interface. This functionality allows users to access real-time data on power consumption, voltage levels, and overall system health from anywhere with internet connectivity. The card supports both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and web protocols, making it compatible with various network environments.

The AP9617 also comes equipped with advanced alerting capabilities. Users can configure email and SNMP traps to receive notifications about critical events, such as power outages, battery failures, or temperature fluctuations. This proactive alert system ensures that administrators can respond quickly to potential issues, minimizing downtime and protecting valuable equipment.

In terms of security, the AP9617 incorporates robust measures, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for encrypted communications, ensuring that data transmitted over the network is protected from unauthorized access. Additionally, it supports user authentication and configurable access rights, allowing system administrators to maintain strict control over who can view or modify the UPS settings.

Physical characteristics of the APC AP9617 include a compact form factor that allows it to be easily integrated into existing UPS units without taking up excessive space. The installation process is straightforward, enabling users to deploy the device quickly and efficiently.

With its emphasis on reliability and performance, the AP9617 plays a critical role in power management strategies. By providing detailed analytics and reporting tools, it helps organizations analyze power usage trends, identify inefficiencies, and plan for future energy needs.

In summary, the APC AP9617 is more than just a network management card; it is an essential tool for ensuring the resilience and efficiency of power systems in data centers and other critical applications. Through its innovative features, technologies, and strong security protocols, it enables organizations to maintain power continuity while optimizing energy management practices.
