Quick Configuration

Remote access From any computer on the same subnet as the Management

to the control Card, you can use ARP and Ping in a process known as

consolegleaning, to assign an IP address to a Management Card, and then use Telnet to access that Management Card’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

After a Management Card has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that Management Card.

Note

1.Use ARP to define an IP address for the Management Card, and use the Management Card’s MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP address of 159.215.15.141 for a Management Card that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following commands:

Windows command format:

arp -s 159.215.15.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67

LINUX command format:

arp -s 159.215.15.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67

The Network Management Card quality assurance test slip lists the MAC address.

2.Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands:

Windows command format:

ping 159.215.15.141 -l 113

LINUX command format:

ping 159.215.15.141 -s 113

3.Use Telnet to access the Management Card at its newly assigned IP address. For this example, use this command:

telnet 159.215.15.141

4.Use apc for both the User Name and Password.

5.See “Control console” on page 16 to finish the configuration.

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.
