Remote access to the control console

From any computer on the same subnet as the Network Management Card, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to a Network Management Card, and then use Telnet to access the control console of that Network Management Card and configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

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

1.Use ARP to define an IP address for the Network Management Card, and use the MAC address of the Network Management Card in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for a Network 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 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67

LINUX command format:

arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67

Note: For the MAC address, look on the nameplate of the Network Management

Card. The MAC address is also available on the display interface.

Path: Setup>System>Network Config.

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 156.205.14.141 -l 113

LINUX command format:

ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113

3.Use Telnet to access the Network Management Card at its newly assigned IP address. For example:

telnet 156.205.14.141

4.Use apc for both user name and password.

DX, FM specifications

The American Power Conversion (APC) DX,FM series represents a cutting-edge solution designed for critical power management and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. Aimed at businesses and data centers that require robust power protection, this series balances high-performance capabilities with advanced technology features.

One of the key distinguishing features of the DX,FM series is its modular design. This allows users to scale their UPS system according to their needs, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Whether you're managing a small server room or a large data center, the modular architecture ensures that you can add or remove capacity with ease. This flexibility not only optimizes initial investments but also supports future growth seamlessly.

The series employs advanced battery technology, which extends battery life and enhances overall performance. With intelligent battery management systems, the DX,FM ensures that battery health is monitored in real-time, preventing premature failures and unnecessary replacements. This leads to reduced maintenance costs and maximizes uptime.

Additionally, the DX,FM series features innovative cooling solutions that enhance performance in high-density situations. Efficient thermal management reduces the risk of overheating, keeping valuable equipment operating optimally. This is particularly crucial in data centers where heat generated by servers can create potential disruptions.

Another significant characteristic of the DX,FM series is its sophisticated monitoring and management capabilities. Integrated with state-of-the-art software, users can gain remote access to their UPS units, enabling real-time tracking of performance metrics. This remote monitoring capability allows administrators to proactively manage power usage and ensure that systems are operating within safe parameters.

Furthermore, the DX,FM series is designed with a high level of redundancy. This built-in reliability feature ensures that if one unit fails, others can seamlessly take over, maintaining power supply continuity. This is critical for mission-critical environments where power outages could result in substantial financial losses or data loss.

In summary, the American Power Conversion DX,FM series incorporates modularity, advanced battery technology, effective cooling solutions, and sophisticated monitoring features to deliver an ideal power management solution for various organizations. Its design prioritizes flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, making it an essential investment for any business looking to safeguard its operations against power disruptions.
