UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide2

Devices in which you can install the Network Mana gement Card 2. The NMC can be installed in:

• Any Smart-UPS

® model that has an internal expansion slot, or any Symmetra® UPS except the

Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 UPS

• MGE

® Galaxy® 300, 3500, or 7000

• Expansion Chassis (AP9600)

• Triple Expansion Chassis (AP9604)

IPv4 initial setup

You must define two TCP/IP settings for the NMC before it can opera te on the network:

• IP address of the NMC

• IP address of the default gateway (only needed if you are going off segment)

Caution: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so disables the

card. You must then log on using a serial connection and reset the TCP/IP settings to their defaults.

To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the Network Management Card Installation Manual,

available on the Network Management Card Utility CD and in printed form.

For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at an NMC,

see “TCP/IP and Communication Settings” on page54.

IPv6 initial setup

IPv6 network configuration provides flexibility to accommodate the user's requirements. To configure the

TCP/IP settings for IPv6, see the user interface online help for details on the options: Manual, Auto

Configuration, DHCPv6 Mode under this menu: Administration > Network > TCP/IP > IPv6 settings.

Network management features

These applications and utilities work with a UPS that connects to the network through an NMC.

• PowerChute Network Shutdown — Provide unattended remote graceful shutdown of computers that

are connected to UPS devices

• PowerNet

® Management Information Base (MIB) with a standard MIB browser — Perform SNMP

SETs and GETs and use SNMP traps

• InfraStruxure Central — Provide enterprise-level power management and management of agent s, UPS

devices, and environmental monitors.

• Device IP Configuration Wizard — Configure the basic settings of one or more NMCs over the

network

• Security Wizard — Create components needed for high security for the NMC when you are using

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and related protocols and encryption routines
