Control

You can use each Control option in one of two ways. (1) If the UPS of the initiating management interface is
a member of a Synchronized Control Group, and its Group Membership is enabled, you can choose whether
to apply a control action to the individual UPS or to all UPSs in its Synchronized Control Group. (2) If the
initiating UPS is not a member of a Synchronized Control Group, you can apply each Control action only to
the initiating UPS.

Turn UPS On Turns on power at the UPS. This option displays only if the UPS is currently
turned off.
If the UPS of the initiating management interface is an enabled member of
a Synchronized Control Group, select "Yes" or "No" for "Apply to Sync
Group" to choose whether to turn on all enabled members of the group,
click Next>>, and then click Apply.

Reboot UPS Restarts the attached equipment by turning the UPS off and back on.

If the UPS of the initiating management interface is an enabled member of

a Synchronized Control Group, choose whether to apply the action to the
group. To reboot the UPS of the initiating management interface only, select
"No" for "Apply to Sync Group", click Next>>, and then click Apply. The

following parameters control the reboot:

Shutdown Delay
Minimum Battery Capacity
Return Delay To reboot the UPSs of all enabled members of the
Synchronized Control Group to which this UPS belongs, select "Yes"
for "Apply to Sync Group," click Next>>, and then click Apply. The
following parameters control the reboot:
o Shutdown Delay (of the UPS of the initiating
management interface)
o Power Synchronized Delay
o Minimum Battery Capacity (of the UPS of the initiating
management interface): Before any group member can
turn on, each member must be at or above this percentage
of full battery capacity minus "Minimum Battery Capacity
Offset" configured at each member UPS.
o Return Delay (of the UPS of the initiating management
interface)

Turn UPS Off Turns off the output power of the UPS. Any UPS to which the action is
applied turns off with no shutdown delay and remains off until you turn on
its power again.

If the UPS of the initiating management interface is an enabled member of

a Synchronized Control Group, select "Yes" or "No" for "Apply to Sync
Group" to choose whether to turn off all enabled members of the group,
click Next>>, and then click Apply.
Put UPS to Sleep Puts the UPS into sleep mode by turning off its output power for a period of
time defined by the following parameters.

The UPS waits the time configured as "Shutdown Delay" before

turning off its power.
When input power returns, the UPS turns on output power after two
configured periods of time elapse: "Sleep Time" and "Return
Delay".

If the UPS of the initiating management interface is an enabled

member of a Synchronized Control Group, select "Yes" or "No" for
"Apply to Sync Group" to choose whether to put all enabled
members of the group into sleep mode. Click Next>>, and then
click Apply. The Management Card of the UPS initiating the action
waits up to the number of seconds configured as "Power
Synchronized Delay" for enabled group members to regain input
power before it starts the Return Delay.

Caution: To protect the load, the UPS may stop providing power to the load if the management interface of
the UPS detects any of the following events:

The UPS is in bypass mode and the input power becomes unacceptable.
The actual input voltage changes to a value outside the allowable range.
The Administrator or Device User changes the allowable range by selecting a parameter that
excludes the actual input voltage.

Rated Output Voltage
Bypass Upper Voltage
Bypass Lower Voltage
Output Frequency
The AC voltage the UPS supplies to the load.
The maximum voltage that the UPS will pass to connected equipment
during internal bypass operation.
The minimum voltage that the UPS will pass to connected equipment during
internal bypass operation.
The allowable UPS output frequency. Whenever possible, the output
frequency adjusts to match the input frequency when Auto is selected. To
define an output frequency that does not match the input frequency, select
an output frequency from the drop-down list.

Configuration: shutdown

Start of Shutdown

Low Battery Duration Defines how long the UPS can continue to run on battery power after a low-
battery condition occurs.

Shutdown Delay Defines how long the UPS waits before it shuts down in response to a turn-
off command.

Maximum Required Delay
Calculates the delay needed to ensure that each PowerChute client has
enough time to shut down safely when the UPS or the PowerChute client
initiates a graceful shutdown. Maximum Required Delay is the longest
shutdown delay needed by any server listed as a PowerChute Network
Shutdown client. This delay is calculated whenever the management
interface of the UPS turns on or is reset, or when "Force Negotiation" is
selected as Maximum Required Delay. "Force Negotiation" polls each client
for information on the time it needs for a graceful shutdown. Two extra
minutes to allow for unforeseen circumstances is then added to the
calculated time. The negotiation can take up to 10 minutes. If you do not
select "Force Negotiation", two minutes is used by default as the shutdown
delay for all clients.

Basic Signaling Shutdown
When enabled, allows basic-signaling shutdown. Basic signaling provides
safe system shutdown and notification, but does not provide the continuous
advanced monitoring features available with advanced signaling. Enable
basic-signaling shutdown if your computer is connected to the UPS with a
basic-signaling cable, and the type of UPS either does not support advanced
signaling or is configured to communicate in basic signaling.

Duration of Shutdown

Page | 4
 Page |5

Sleep Time Defines how long the UPS sleeps (keeps its output power turned off) when
you use the "Put UPS To Sleep" option of the "Control" menu.

End of Shutdown

Minimum Battery Capacity The minimum battery capacity, as a percentage of full capacity, required in
order for the UPS to end its sleep time (or turn back on when rebooted) and
resume providing output power.

Return Delay Defines how long the UPS waits before it turns on after a shutdown that
was caused by a power failure, after a scheduled shutdown, or after a
shutdown initiated by a Control command. If the battery is depleted below
the percentage configured as "Minimum Battery Capacity", the UPS first
waits until the battery is recharged to that minimum capacity.

Configuration: general

UPS Position The physical orientation of the UPS, rack or tower.

UPS Name A name that you specify to identify the UPS. Maximum length is 8
characters.

Audible Alarm Enable or disable the audible alarm that signals alarm conditions.

Last Battery Replacement When you replace a battery in the UPS, select the month and year of that
battery replacement. The displayed date is the date of the most recent
battery replacement.

External Batteries The number of batteries connected to the UPS, excluding built-in batteries.
Accepts changes in maximum increments or decrements of 16 at a time.

Configuration: self-test schedule

Self-Test Schedule Define when the UPS will initiate a self-test (never, at start-up and then
every 7 days, at startup and every 14 days, or at start-up only).

Diagnostics

Diagnostic Tests

Self-test The result of the most recent UPS self-test (passed, failed, or unavailable)
and the date of that test. A self-test cannot be started if a runtime
calibration is in progress.

Calibration The result of the most recent Runtime Calibration. A runtime calibration
recalculates your remaining runtime. Because a runtime calibration

Page | 5
 Page |6

temporarily depletes the UPS batteries, you cannot perform a runtime

calibration unless the batteries are at 100% capacity.

Audible Alarm Confirm that the audible alarm activates in response to the alarms you
specify at the Configuration: general page. When you initiate an audible
alarm test, the UPS beeps four times.

Initiate Immediately initiate one of the diagnostic tests of the UPS.

Determines whether this Synchronized Control Group member is an active
member of its group. If you disable group membership, this UPS functions
as if it were not a member of any Synchronized Control Group.
When you enable or disable Group Membership, the change causes
the management interface to reboot the next time you log out. The
change takes effect at that time.
The Sync Control option uses SNMPv3 for group communication.
When you enable group membership, SNMPv3 is enabled
automatically.
The unique identifier of the Synchronized Control Group of which this
Management Card's UPS is a member. This value must be a number from 1
through 65534. A UPS can be a member of only one Synchronized Control
Group. All members of a Synchronized Control Group must have the same
Control Group Number and Multicast IP Address.
Specify the IP address used to communicate among members of a
Synchronized Control Group. The allowed range is 224.0.0.3 to
224.0.0.254. All members must have the same Control Group Number and
Multicast IP Address.
Specify the maximum time (120 seconds by default) that the UPS of the
initiating management interface will wait, if necessary, for other group
members to regain input power when the initiating UPS is ready to turn on.
When this delay expires, the initiating UPS will wait to recharge its battery
to the runtime specified as "Minimum Battery Capacity", if necessary, then
wait the time specified as "Return Delay", and then turn on.
Specify a number of seconds of runtime that will be subtracted from the
"Return Runtime Duration" of the UPS that initiates a synchronized action to
determine the available runtime required for this group member to turn on
during synchronized actions. You can configure this value differently for
each member of the Synchronized Control Group through each member's
management interface.
Specify a percentage of battery capacity that will be subtracted from
"Minimum Battery Capacity" of the UPS that initiates a synchronized action
to determine the battery capacity required for this group member to turn on
during synchronized actions. You can configure this value differently for
each member of the Synchronized Control Group through each member's
management interface.
The case-sensitive phrase (15 to 32 ASCII characters) used to authenticate
members of a synchronized control group. All members of a synchronized
control group must have the same authentication phrase. The default is
"APC SCG auth phrase".
The encryption key for the protocol that ensures secure communication
among members of a synchronized control group. All members of a
synchronized control group must have the same encryption phrase. The
default is "APC SCG crypt phrase".
The network port that synchronized control groups use to communicate.
You can use any non-standard port from 5000 to 32768.

PowerChute Network
Shutdown Parameters

Maximum Required Delay
Calculates the delay needed to ensure that each PowerChute client has
enough time to shut down safely when the UPS or the PowerChute client
initiates a graceful shutdown. Maximum Required Delay is the longest
shutdown delay needed by any server listed as a PowerChute Network
Shutdown client. This delay is calculated whenever the management
interface of the UPS turns on or is reset, or when "Force Negotiation" is
selected as Maximum Required Delay. "Force Negotiation" polls each client
for information on the time it needs for a graceful shutdown. Two extra
minutes to allow for unforeseen circumstances is then added to the
calculated time. The negotiation can take up to 10 minutes. If you do not
select "Force Negotiation", two minutes is used by default as the shutdown
delay for all clients.

On-Battery Shutdown After the PowerChute clients shut down their computer systems, this
Behavior parameter determines whether the UPS turns on automatically or must be
turned on manually when input power is restored.

Authentication Phrase Sets the case-sensitive phrase of 15 to 32 ASCII characters to be used

during MD5 authentication for PowerChute communication. The default
setting is "admin user phrase" for Administrator.

Temperature & Humidity

Displays the configured name, the alarm status, the temperature, and the humidity (if supported) for each
sensor. Click the name of a sensor to view details of its alarm status or to configure the sensor's
parameters:

Name A name you specify for this sensor, usually describing its purpose. The
maximum length is 20 characters.

Location This sensor's physical location. The maximum length is 20 characters.

Alarm Status Normal if this sensor is not reporting an alarm condition. The text of the
alarm, indicating which threshold has been violated, and the severity of the
alarm, indicated by color (red for critical, orange for warning) if this contact
is in an alarm state.

Thresholds For each sensor, you set the same types of thresholds for the temperature
and (if supported) the humidity measured at that sensor.

Maximum: If the threshold for the maximum temperature or for

the maximum humidity for the sensor is exceeded, an alarm
occurs.
High: If the threshold for the high temperature or for the high
humidity for the sensor is exceeded, an alarm occurs.
Low: If the temperature or humidity drops below its low threshold
for the sensor, an alarm occurs.
Minimum: If the temperature or humidity drops below its
minimum threshold for the sensor, an alarm occurs.
Hysteresis: This value specifies how far above or below a
threshold the temperature or humidity must return to clear a
threshold violation.

Page | 9
 P a g e | 10

o For Maximum and High threshold violations, the clearing

point is the threshold minus the hysteresis.
o For Minimum and Low threshold violations, the clearing
point is the threshold plus the hysteresis.

Increase the value for Temperature Hysteresis or Humidity

Hysteresis to avoid multiple alarms if temperature or humidity that
has caused a violation then wavers slightly up and down. If the
hysteresis value is too low, such wavering can cause and clear a
threshold violation repeatedly.

o Example of falling but wavering temperature: The

minimum temperature threshold is 33F, and the
temperature hysteresis is 3F. The temperature drops
below 33F, violating the threshold. It then wavers up to
34F and then down to 31F repeatedly, but no clearing
event and no new violation occur. For the existing violation
to clear, the temperature would have to rise above 36F
(3F past the threshold).
o Example of rising but wavering humidity: The maximum
humidity threshold is 85%, and the humidity hysteresis is
10%. The humidity rises above 85%, violating the
threshold. It then wavers down to 80% and up to 90%
repeatedly, but no clearing event and no new violation
occur. For the existing violation to clear, the humidity
would have to drop below 75% (10% past the threshold).

Note: If you specify the temperature hysteresis in degrees

Fahrenheit (a choice configured on the Administration tab, using
the General menu and the Unit Preference option), the actual value
used is the equivalent Celsius value. When the number is converted
to Celsius, it is rounded up or down to the nearest Celsius degree.
Input Contacts

Local Authentication Only: RADIUS is disabled. Access to this device

is controlled by the user names and passwords configured in the options
under Local Users on the left navigation menu.
RADIUS, then Local Authentication: RADIUS is enabled. The RADIUS
server is contacted first. If the RADIUS server fails to respond, the user
name and password values configured for Local Users will be used to
authenticate access to the device.
RADIUS only: RADIUS is enabled. Only the RADIUS server will be
contacted. If the RADIUS server fails to authenticate the user, access is
denied. Note: The message "No RADIUS servers have been configured"
indicates that you must add a properly configured RADIUS server so that
RADIUS authentication can operate. If RADIUS Only is selected, the only
way to recover if the RADIUS server is unavailable, improperly identified,
or improperly configured is through a serial connection to the command
line interface.

Remote Users: RADIUS

Administration Help: Network

TCP/IP: IPv4

Page | 17
 P a g e | 18

Current IPv4 Settings Displays the current IPv4 settings, the MAC address of the device, and the IPv4
boot mode the device is currently using.

IPv4 Configuration

Enable IPv4 communications can be completely enabled or disabled using this check
box.

Manual With this option, unless IPv4 settings are already configured, the device cannot
start network services. To configure the settings manually, click Next.

BOOTP At 32-second intervals, the device requests network assignment from any BOOTP
server:

If it receives a valid response, it starts the network services.

If previously configured network settings exist, and it receives no valid
response to five requests (the original and four retries), by default it
uses those previously configured settings so that it remains accessible if
a BOOTP server is no longer available. To change either the number of
retries or the use of previously configured settings, click Next to access
the BOOTP Configuration page, and follow the on-screen instructions.
If it finds a BOOTP server, but the request to that server fails or times
out, the device stops requesting network settings until it is restarted.

Note: The default values for the other three settings on the BOOTP Configuration
page generally do not need to be changed:

Vendor ID: APC

Client ID: The MAC address of the device. If you change this value, the
new value must be unique on the LAN.
User Class: The name of the application firmware module.

DHCP At 32-second intervals, the device requests network assignment from any DHCP
server:

Optionally, the device requires the vendor specific cookie from the DHCP
server in order to accept the lease and start the network services.
If it finds a DHCP server, but the request to that server fails or times out,
it stops requesting network settings until it is restarted.

Note: The default values for the other three settings on the DHCP Configuration
page generally do not need to be changed:

Vendor ID: APC

Client ID: The MAC address of the device. If you change this value, the
new value must be unique on the LAN.
User Class: The name of the application firmware module.

TCP/IP: IPv6

Page | 18
 P a g e | 19

Current IPv6 Settings Displays the current IPv6 settings.

IPv6 Configuration

Enable Use this check box to enable or disable IPv6 communications.

Manual Select the Manual check box and then enter the system IPv6 address and default
gateway if you are not using automated addressing.

Auto Configuration Select the Auto Configuration check box to enable the system to obtain
addressing prefixes from the router (if available). It will use those prefixes to
automatically configure IPv6 addresses.

DHCPv6 Mode

Router Controlled When this radio box is selected, DHCPv6 is controlled by the M (Managed Address
Configuration Flag) and O (Other Stateful Configuration Flag) flags received in
IPv6 Router Advertisements.

When a router advertisement is received, the NMC checks whether the M and O
flags are set. The NMC interprets the state of the M and O "bits" for the following
cases.

Neither is set: Indicates local network has no DHCPv6 infrastructure. The

NMC uses Router Advertisements and/or manual configuration to get
non-link-local addresses and other settings.
M, or M and O are set: In this situation, full DHCPv6 address
configuration occurs. DHCPv6 is used to obtain addresses AND other
configuration settings. This is known as DHCPv6 stateful. Once the M flag
has been received, the DHCPv6 address configuration stays in effect until
the interface in question has been closed, even if subsequent Router
Advertisement packets are received in which the M flag is not set. If an O
flag is received first, then an M flag is received subsequently, the NMC
performs full address configuration upon receipt of the M flag
Only O is set: In this situation, the NMC sends a DHCPv6 Info-Request
packet. DHCPv6 is used to configure "other" settings (such as location of
DNS servers), but NOT to provide addresses. This is known as DHCPv6
stateless.

Address and Other With this radio box selected, DHCPv6 is used to obtain addresses AND other
Information configuration settings. This is known as DHCPv6 stateful.
Non-Address With this radio box selected, DHCPv6 is used to configure "other" settings (such
Information Only as location of DNS servers), but NOT to provide addresses. This is known as
DHCPv6 stateless.
Never With this radio box selected, DHCPv6 is NOT be used for any configuration
settings.

Port Speed

Current Speed The speed of the Ethernet port.

Options Auto-negotiation (the default): Ethernet devices negotiate to transmit at the

highest possible speed, but if the supported speeds of two devices are

Page | 19
 P a g e | 20

unmatched, the slower speed is used.

10 Mbps or 100 Mbps: Each with the option of half-duplex (for communication in
only one direction at a time) or full-duplex (for communication simultaneously in
both directions on the same channel).

DNS: servers

Domain Name System Provide the IP address of the primary and, optionally, of the secondary Domain
Servers Name System (DNS) server. The primary server is always tried first. NOTE:
Selection of Override Manual DNS Settings will result in configuration data from
other sources (typically DHCP) taking precedence over the manual configurations
set here.

DNS: naming

Host Name Configure a host name.

Domain Name Configure the domain name. This domain name is then added automatically
whenever a user enters only a host name in a field that accepts domain names
(except e-mail addresses).

DNS: test

Last Query Response If the query succeeded, the result is a domain name, IP address, or mail
exchange. If the query failed, an error message gives the reason for the failure.

Query Type by Host: the URL name of the server

by FQDN: the fully qualified domain name of the server
by IP: the IP address of the server
by MX: the mail exchange used by the server

Query Question The value to be used for the selected query type: the URL, the IP address, the
fully qualified domain name (for example, myserver.mydomain.com), or the mail
exchange address.

Web: access

Access Configure the method of access to be used for the Web interface.

Disable: Disables the two protocols that can provide access to the Web
interface.
Enable HTTP: Sets Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as the means of
access to the Web interface. Access through HTTP is by user name and

Page | 20
 P a g e | 21

password, but neither is encrypted, and data is not encrypted during

transmission.
Enable HTTPS: Sets Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets
Layer (HTTPS) as the means of access to the Web interface. HTTPS
encrypts user names, passwords, and data during transmission, and uses
digital certificates for authentication.

HTTP Port The port (80 by default) that Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) uses to
communicate.
Note: To enhance security, you can change the port setting to any unused port
from 5000 to 32768. Users must then append a colon and the port number to the
URL to access the interface.
HTTPS Port The port (443 by default) that Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets
Layer (HTTPS) uses to communicate.
Note: To enhance security, you can change the port setting to any unused port
from 5000 to 32768. Users must then append a colon and the port number to the
URL to access the interface.

Web: ssl certificate

Status Indicates whether the current certificate is valid. Click the link to display details
of the installed certificate.

If no certificate is loaded when you enable SSL, restarting the device creates a
default certificate, a process which delays access to the interface for up to one
minute. In a default certificate, the Organizational Unit field displays "Internally
Generated Certificate," and the Common Name field reports the serial number of
the device. When you are using an internally-generated, default certificate, a
security alert message displays whenever you log on.

Add or Replace Enter or browse to the certificate file created with the Security Wizard.
Certificate File

Remove Delete the current certificate.

Console: access

Access Configure the method of access to the command line interface.

Disable: Disables access to the command line interface.

Enable Telnet: Telnet transmits user names, passwords, and data
without encryption.
Enable SSH: Secure SHell (SSH) version 2 transmits user names,
passwords and data in encrypted form.

Telnet Port The TCP/IP port (23 by default) that Telnet uses to communicate.
Note: To enhance security, you can change the port setting to any unused port
from 5000 to 32768. Users must then specify the non-default port to gain access.
Telnet clients require users to append either a space and the port number or a
colon and the port number to the command line to access the command line
interface.

Page | 21
 P a g e | 22

SSH Port The TCP/IP port (22 by default) that SSH uses to communicate.
Note: To enhance security, you can change the port setting to any unused port
from 5000 to 32768. Users must then specify the non-default port to gain access.
For SSH, see your SSH client documentation to specify a non-default port in the
command line that starts SSH.

Console: ssh host key

Status Indicates whether the current SSH Host Key is valid.

Add or Replace Host To use a host key you created with the APC Security Wizard, load the host key
Key before you enable SSH. Browse to or enter the path name of the host key file
created with the APC Security Wizard, and click Apply.

Remove If the host key has been removed or if no host key was loaded, and you enable
SSH, the device restarts, and it generates a host key. Allowing the device to
generate its own host key could make the SSH server unavailable for use for as
long as 1 minute.

Host Key Fingerprint A fingerprint helps authenticate a server. If the APC Security Wizard is used to
generate the host key, it also generates the fingerprint, which is displayed here
when SSH is enabled and the host key is in use. When you first connect to the
device using SSH, compare the fingerprint presented by the SSH client to the
fingerprint that the APC Security Wizard generated to ensure that they match.
(Almost all SSH clients display the fingerprint.)

SNMPv1: access

Enable SNMPv1 Access Enables SNMP version 1 as a method of communication with this device.

Note: When using InfraStruXure Central or Manager to manage a UPS on

the public network of an InfraStruXure system, you must have SNMP
version 1 enabled in the Management Card interface of that UPS. For
detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of your
system, see the Security Handbook, available on the Utility CD or from the
APC Web site.

SNMPv1: access control

You can configure up to four access control entries to specify which NMSs have access to this device. The
opening page for access control, by default, assigns one entry to each of the four available SNMPv1
communities, but you can edit these settings to apply more than one entry to any community to grant
access by several specific IP addresses, host names, or IP address masks. To edit the access control settings
for a community, click its community name.

If you leave the default access control entry unchanged for a community, that community has
access to this device from any location on the network.
If you configure multiple access control entries for one community name, the limit of four entries
requires that one or more of the other communities must have no access control entry. If no access

Page | 22
 P a g e | 23

control entry is listed for a community, that community has no access to this device.

Community Name The name that a Network Management System (NMS) must use to access
the community. The maximum length is 15 ASCII characters, and the
default community names for the four communities are "public," "private,"
"public2," and "private2."
NMS IP/Host Name The IP address, IP address mask, or host name that controls access by
NMSs.
A host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) allows access
only by the NMS at that location. IP addresses that contain 255 restrict
access as follows:

149.225.12.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225.12

segment.
149.225.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225 segment.
149.255.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149 segment.
0.0.0.0 (the default setting) which can also be expressed as
255.255.255.255: Access by any NMS on any segment.

Access Type The actions an NMS can perform through the community.

Read: GETS only, at any time

Write: GETS at any time, and SETS when no user is logged onto
the Web interface or command line interface.
Write+: GETS and SETS at any time.
Disable: No GETS or SETS at any time.

SNMPv3: access

Enable SNMPv3 access Enables SNMP version 3 as a method of communication with this device

SNMPv3: user profiles

By default, lists the settings of four user profiles, configured with the user names "apc snmp profile1"
through "apc snmp profile 4," and no authentication and no privacy (no encryption of data). To edit the
following settings for a user profile, click a user name in the list.

User Name The identifier of the user profile. SNMP version 3 maps GETs, SETs, and
traps to a user profile by matching the user name of the profile to the user
name in the data packet being transmitted. A user name can have up to 32
ASCII characters.

Authentication Passphrase
A phrase of 15 to 32 ASCII characters that verifies that the Network
Management System (NMS) communicating with this device through
SNMPv3 is the NMS it claims to be, that the message has not been changed
during transmission, and that the message was communicated in a timely
manner, indicating that it was not delayed and that it was not copied and
sent again later at an inappropriate time.

Page | 23
 P a g e | 24

Privacy Passphrase A phrase of 15 to 32 ASCII characters that ensures the privacy of the data
(by means of encryption) that a Network Management System (NMS) is
sending to this device or receiving from this device through SNMPv3.

Authentication Protocol The APC implementation of SNMPv3 supports SHA or MD5 authentication.
Authentication will not occur unless SHA or MD5 is selected here.

Privacy Protocol The APC implementation of SNMPv3 supports AES or DES as the protocol
for encrypting and decrypting data. Privacy of transmitted data requires
that AES or DES is selected here. When a privacy protocol is enabled but
the NMS does not provide a privacy passphrase, the SNMP request is not
encrypted.

Note: You cannot select the privacy protocol if no authentication protocol is

selected.

SNMPv3: access control

You can configure up to four access control entries to specify which NMSs have access to this device. The
opening page for access control, by default, assigns one entry to each of the four user profiles, but you can
edit these settings to apply more than one entry to any user profile to grant access by several specific IP
addresses, host names, or IP address masks.

If you leave the default access control entry unchanged for a user profile, all NMSs that use that
profile have access to this device.
If you configure multiple access entries for one user profile, the limit of four entries requires that
one or more of the other user profiles must have no access control entry. If no access control entry
is listed for a user profile, no NMS that uses that profile has any access to this device.

To edit the access control settings for a user profile, click its user name.
Access Mark the "Enable" check box to activate the access control specified by the
parameters in this access control entry.
User Name From the drop-down list, select the user profile to which this access control
entry will apply. The choices available are the four user names that you
configure through the "user profiles"option on the left navigation menu.
NMS IP/Host Name The IP address, IP address mask, or host name that controls access by the
NMS.
A host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) allows access
only by the NMS at that location. An IP address mask that contain 255
restricts access as follows:

149.225.12.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225.12

segment.
149.225.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225 segment.
149.255.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149 segment.
0.0.0.0 (the default setting) which can also be expressed as
255.255.255.255: Access by any NMS on any segment.

FTP Server

Page | 24
 P a g e | 25

Access Enable access to the FTP server.

FTP transmits files without encrypting them. For encrypted file transfer, use
Secure CoPy (SCP). SCP is automatically enabled when you enable SSH, but you
must disable FTP server to enforce high-security file transfer. Note: At any time
that you want a device to be accessible for management by InfraStruXure Central
or Manager, FTP Server must be enabled in the Management Card interface of
that UPS. For detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of
your system, see the Security Handbook, available on the Utility CD or from the
APC Web site.

Port The TCP/IP port of the FTP server (21 by default).

The FTP server uses both the specified port and the port one number lower than
the specified port. Allowed non-default port numbers are 5001 through 32768.
Note: Configuring the FTP server to use a non-default port enhances security by
requiring users to append the port name to the IP address in an FTP command
line. The appended port name must be preceded by a space or colon depending
on the FTP client used.

E-mail: server

Local SMTP Server The IP address or DNS name of the local SMTP server. Configure this field only if
the SMTP Server option is set to Local for any e-mail recipient.

From Address The text for the From field of e-mail messages sent by the device. Use the format
user@domain.com if Local SMTP Server is specified as a domain name or
user@[IP_address] if Local SMTP Server is specified as an IP address.

E-mail: recipients

Recipients Lists all currently configured e-mail recipients. Up to four recipients can be
configured. To add a recipient, click Add Recipient. To modify an existing
recipient, click the To Address.

To Address The user name and domain name of the recipient. To use e-mail for paging, use
the e-mail address of the recipient's pager gateway account. The pager gateway
generates the page. The recipient's pager must support text-based messages. If
DNS lookups are not working correctly, bypass the DNS lookup of the mail
server's IP address by using that IP address in brackets, for example
jsmith@[148.241.4.25], instead of the domain name.

E-mail Generation Enable (the default setting) sending e-mail to this recipient.

SMTP Server Local: This setting (recommended) uses the local SMTP server. Choosing this
setting limits delays and network outages and retries sending e-mail for many
hours. When choosing the Local setting you must also enable forwarding at the
SMTP server of the device and set up a special external e-mail account to receive
the forwarded e-mail. Check with your SMTP server administrator before making
these changes. Choosing the Local setting makes the local SMTP server a
potential single point of failure.

Recipient: This setting sends e-mail directly to the recipient's SMTP server, but
the device tries only once to send the e-mail. A network outage or a busy remote
SMTP server can cause a time-out and cause the e-mail to be lost. This setting
requires no additional administrative tasks regarding the SMTP server.

Format The long e-mail format contains Name, Location, Contact, IP address, serial
number of the device, date and time, event code, and event description. The

Page | 27
 P a g e | 28

short e-mail format provides only the event description.

User Name User name for SMTP authentication (if using authentication).

Password Password for SMTP authentication (if using authentication).

Confirm Password Confirm password for SMTP authentication (if using authentication).

E-mail: test

Last Test Result The results of the most recent e-mail test.

To Select the e-mail recipient to receive a test e-mail.

To configure a new trap receiver, click Add Trap Receiver.

To modify or delete a trap receiver, first click its IP address or host name to access its settings. If
you delete a trap receiver, all notification settings configured under Event Actions for the deleted
trap receiver are set to their default values.
To specify the trap type for a trap receiver, select either the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 radio button. For
an NMS to receive both types of traps, you must configure two trap receivers for that NMS, one for
each trap type.

Trap Generation Enable (the default) or disable trap generation for this trap receiver.
NMS IP/Host Name The IP address or host name of this trap receiver. The default, 0.0.0.0,
leaves the trap receiver undefined.
Community Name (SNMPv1) The name ("public" by default) used as an identifier when SNMPv1 traps are
sent to this trap receiver.
Authenticate Traps When this option is enabled (the default), the NMS identified by the NMS
(SNMPv1) IP/Host Name setting will receive authentication traps (traps generated by
invalid attempts to log on to this device). To disable that ability, unmark the
checkbox.
User Name (SNMPv3) Select the identifier of the user profile for this trap receiver. To view the
settings of the user profiles identified by the user names selectable here,
choose Network on the top menu bar and "user profiles" under SNMPv3 on
the left navigation menu.

SNMP Traps: test

Last Test Result The result of the most recent SNMP trap test. A successful SNMP trap test
verifies only that a trap was sent; it does not verify that the trap was
received by the selected trap receiver. A trap test succeeds if all of the

Page | 28
 P a g e | 29

following are true:

The SNMP version (SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) configured for the selected

trap receiver is enabled on this device.
The trap receiver is enabled.
If a host name is selected for the "To" address, that host name can
be mapped to a valid IP address.

To Select the IP address or host name to which a test SNMP trap will be sent.
If no trap receiver was ever configured, a link to the "Trap Receiver"
configuration page is displayed.

Paging: general setup

Numeric Site ID An 8-digit unique identification number for the device. This number is part
of every page sent to a numeric pager and, if Site ID Mode is set to
Numeric Site ID, to a Telolocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) pager.

Site ID Name An alphanumeric character string of up to 30 characters to uniquely identify

the device. If Site ID Mode is set to Site Name, this name is sent with the
page to any TAP pager.

Site ID Mode The type of identifier to be used in TAP paging messages: IP Address, Host
Name (the name of the host computer), System Name, Numeric Site ID, or
Site Name.

Paging: recipients

User Config File

User Configuration File You can simplify the task of configuring new devices by re-using the configuration
(ini) settings from one device elsewhere.

Each Management Card has its own config.ini file, which can be retrieved using
FTP. After retrieving the file from a configured device, customize it (for example,
change the IP address), and upload the customized file to the new device. If you
rename the file, limit the file name to no more than 64 characters, and do not
change the .ini suffix. See the User's Guide for more information on retrieving
and customizing the file, including how to preserve any comments you add
during customization.
Note: You can export the file to multiple devices by using FTP or SCP with a
script, or by using a batch processing file and the APC .ini file utility, available
from www.apc.com/tools/download.
Status Reports the progress of the upload.
Note: The upload succeeds even if the file contains errors, but a system event
recorded in the event log reports the errors.
Upload Browse to the customized file and upload it so that the current device can use it
to set its own configuration.

Preferences

Event Log Color Coding Configure whether text in the event log is color-coded based on event severity.

Temperature Scale Configure which temperature units, Celsius (default) or Fahrenheit, will be
displayed throughout this user interface.

Language Select the user interface display languages from the drop-down box.

Reset All Resets configuration settings as follows:

If you do not select "Exclude TCP/IP," all configured values and settings
are reset to their default values, including the setting that determines
how this device must obtain its TCP/IP configuration values. The default
for that setting is DHCP.
If you select "Exclude TCP/IP," all configured values and settings except
the setting that determines how this device must obtain its TCP/IP
configuration values are reset to their default values.

Reset Only You can select one or more of the following options:

TCP/IP: Resets only the setting that determines how this device must
obtain its TCP/IP configuration values. The default for that setting is
DHCP.
Event Configuration: Resets only events to their default configuration.
Any configuration changes, by event or by group, revert to their default
settings.
UPS to Defaults: Resets only UPS settings, not network settings, to their
defaults.
Lost Environmental Communication Alarms: Clears any environmental
alarms that are caused by lost communication with an external sensor.
For example, if a temperature sensor is disconnected and therefore
causes an alarm, resetting lost environmental alarms returns the alarm
status for that sensor to "Normal".
Note: To clear alarms for a sensor that is connected to the universal
sensor port of an AP9631 Network Management Card, reconnect the
sensor or restart the Network Management Card.
Control Policy: Resets the settings that define how the Network
Management Card will respond to alarms that are detected at the Dry
Contact I/O Accessory.
