Installation Manual 10
Quick Configuration
Overview
Disregard the procedures described in this chapter if you have
StruxureWare Data Center Expert as part of your system. See the
documentation for your StruxureWare device for more information.

This chapter details how to configure the Network Management Card’s (NMC) TCP/
IP settings and configure its network protocols.

Configure TCP/IP Settings

You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the NMC can operate on a
network:
• IP address of the NMC
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
If your network has a DHCP server, which most networks do, this is the easiest way
to start configuring your NMC.Starting with DHCP has 2 advantages:
1. The user-friendly Web UI allows you to configure settings and enable
protocols.
2. DHCP will correctly set the subnet mask and default gateway.
Misconfiguration of these settings can be difficult to diagnose.
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that
is located on the same subnet as the NMC and that is usually running.
The NMC uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is
very light.
Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway
address for the NMC. It disables the card and requires you to reset TCP/
IP settings to their defaults using a local serial login.
See “Watchdog Features” in the NMC User Guide (www.apc.com/us/en/
download/document/SPD_CCON-AYCEFJ_EN) for more information
about the watchdog role of the default gateway.

11 Installation Manual
TCP/IP Configuration Methods
When you first connect the Ethernet cable, the Link-RX/TX LED ( ) will
illuminate either green or yellow. Network activity will cause the LED to flicker.

The Status LED ( ) will alternate between green and orange until the NMC
has acquired an IP address via DHCP, and it will then stay solid green.

If the Status LED is solid green after 1-2 minutes, your network has a DHCP server,
and the NMC has received an IP address from the DHCP server. You can retrieve the
NMC’s acquired IP address using the below methods:
• “Retrieve IP Address via UPS User Interface Display” on page 12
• “Retrieve IP Address via Local Command Line Interface” on page 13
• “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 14

If the Status LED is still alternating between green and amber after ~3 minutes, your
network does not have a DHCP server or the NMC was not able to contact the
server. You can configure the TCP/IP network settings using the below method:
• “Configure IP Address via UPS User Interface Display” on page 15
• “Configure IP Address via Local Command Line Interface” on page 17

When you know the NMC’s IP address and have access to the NMC, you can re-
configure the IP address using the below methods:
• “DHCP and BOOTP Configuration” on page 18
• “.INI File Utility” on page 20

Retrieve IP Address via UPS User Interface Display

Displaying the NMC IP address through the UPS user interface display
is not available for all UPS models.
Not all networks provide DHCP services, but most do.

Installation Manual 12
For networks that provide DHCP services, Smart-UPS devices with the SMT/SMX/
SRT prefix and many 3-Phase UPS devices, the NMC IP address can be viewed
from the UPS user interface display. For UPS devices with a user interface display:
1. Press Enter () on the front panel.
2. Navigate down to Configuration, and press Enter.
3. Navigate down to Menu Type. If this is set to “Standard”, change it to
“Advanced” and press Enter.
4. Navigate up to NMC IP Address and press Enter.
5. Navigate down to IP Address. Note the NMC’s IP address and pres ESC
repeatedly to exit.
See “How to Access a Configured Network Management Card”
on page 21 to finish the configuration.

Retrieve IP Address via Local Command Line Interface

Use a computer that connects to the Network Management Card through the USB
virtual serial port too access the local command line interface. For a Mac device, use
Terminal. For a Windows PC:
1. In Windows Search, type “Device Manager”, or open it from the Control
Panel. Open “Ports (COM & LPT)”.
2. Connect the provided micro-USB cable (part number 960-0603) from the
console port on the NMC to a USB port on the computer.
3. Note the COM port number that was added when you connected the micro-
USB cable. For example, “USB Serial Device (COM7)”.

4. Run a terminal emulator program (e.g. HyperTerminal, PuTTy, or Tera Term)

and connect to the COM port number noted in step 3. It is not necessary to
configure the port.
5. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt.
6. Use apc for the user name and password.
NOTE: The user name will be “apc” at first log for the Super User account.
You will be prompted to enter a new password after you log in.

13 Installation Manual
 NOTE: A driver is required to connect to the NMC console via Windows
7. The driver can be downloaded from the NMC product pages on the
APC website (www.apc.com/upsnmc), located in the Software /
Firmware section. No driver is required for Windows 10.
1.When you connect the NMC via the micro-USB cable, a device called
“NMC3-CDC” is discovered in “Other Devices”.
2.Right-click on this device and select “Update Driver Software...”
3.Select the “Browse my computer for driver software” option and
navigate to the download location of the driver (usb_cdc_ser.inf).
4.Accept the unsigned driver security message.
Windows will now recognize the NMC and assign a COM port to the
device.
If the micro-USB cable is left connected to the NMC, the NMC will wait 15
seconds at each boot up to access the Boot Monitor. To avoid this 15
second boot delay, disconnect the micro-USB cable if local access to the
CLI is not required.
After you log in to the CLI, you can retrieve the NMC’s IP address or manually
configure the NMC’s network settings. To retrieve the DHCP assigned IP address:
1. Type tcpip and press ENTER.
2. The active IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will be displayed.
See “How to Access a Configured Network Management Card” on
page 17 to finish the configuration.

Device IP Configuration Wizard

The Device IP Configuration Wizard is useful in one of two situations:
1. Unconfigured NMCs: By default, an unconfigured NMC will send DHCP
requests. The Device IP Configuration Wizard functions as a constrained
DHCP server that only responds to APC/Schneider Electric MAC addresses
and it can be used to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
information to an unconfigured NMC.
2. Configured NMCs with SNMPv1 enabled and configured with the
Community Name set to “public”: By entering an IP range to define the
search, the Wizard scans the IP addresses in the defined range and
discovers and reports NMCs. The Wizard can then list the MAC address, IP
address, device description, and firmware version of an NMC and allow the
table to be printed.
The NMC IP address will be displayed with an HTTP prefix. If the NMC is
configured to use HTTPS, the prefix must be updated from http to https.
For more information on SNMPv1, see the User Guide (www.apc.com/us/en/
download/document/SPD_CCON-AYCEFJ_EN) .

Installation Manual 14
 NOTE: The Device IP Configuration Wizard is not useful for NMCs with
an IP address that do not have SNMPv1 enabled and configured.

3. Note the COM port number that was added when you connected the micro-
USB cable. For example, “USB Serial Device (COM7)”.

4. Run a terminal emulator program (e.g. HyperTerminal, PuTTy, or Tera Term)

and connect to the COM port number noted in step 3. It is not necessary to
configure the port.
5. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt.
6. Use apc for the user name and password.
NOTE: The user name will be “apc” at first log for the Super User account.
You will be prompted to enter a new password after you log in.
NOTE: A driver is required to connect to the NMC console via Windows
7. The driver can be downloaded from the NMC product pages on the
APC website (www.apc.com/upsnmc), located in the Software /
Firmware section. No driver is required for Windows 10.
1.When you connect the NMC via the micro-USB cable, a device called
“NMC3-CDC” is discovered in “Other Devices”.
2.Right-click on this device and select “Update Driver Software...”
3.Select the “Browse my computer for driver software” option and
navigate to the download location of the driver (usb_cdc_ser.inf).
4.Accept the unsigned driver security message.
Windows will now recognize the NMC and assign a COM port to the
device.
If the micro-USB cable is left connected to the NMC, the NMC will wait 15
seconds at each boot up to access the Boot Monitor. To avoid this 15
second boot delay, disconnect the micro-USB cable if local access to the
CLI is not required.

17 Installation Manual
To set a static IP address:
1. Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway for the Network Management Card.
2. Use this command to configure network settings. (Text in italics indicates a
variable.)
tcpip
-i yourIPaddress
-s yourSubnetMask
-g yourDefaultGateway
For each variable, type a numeric value that has the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
The command can be entered on one line. For example, to set a system IP
address of 156.205.14.141, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default
gateway of 156.205.14.1, type the following command and press ENTER:
tcpip -i 156.205.14.141 -s 255.255.255.0 -g 156.205.14.1
3. Type reboot. The Network Management Card restarts to apply the
changes.
See “How to Access a Configured Network Management Card”
on page 21 to finish the configuration.

DHCP and BOOTP Configuration

The default TCP/IP configuration setting, DHCP, assumes that a properly configured
DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Network Management Cards.
You can also configure the setting for BOOTP.
A user configuration (.ini) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot
file. For more information, see the TCP/IP configuration section of the
Network Management Card User Guide (www.apc.com/us/en/download/
document/SPD_CCON-AYCEFJ_EN).
If neither of these servers is available, see “TCP/IP Configuration
Methods” on page 12 to configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

BOOTP
For the Network Management Card to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP
settings, it must find a properly configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.
In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the Network Management Card’s
MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, and, optionally, a
bootup file name. Look for the MAC address on the bottom of the Network
Management Card or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.

Installation Manual 18
When the Network Management Card reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with
the TCP/IP settings.
• If you specified a bootup file name, the Network Management Card attempts
to transfer that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Network
Management Card assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
• If you did not specify a bootup file name, you can configure the other settings
of the Network Management Card remotely through its Web interface or
command line interface; the user name and password are both apc, by
default.

To create a bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.

DHCP
You can use an RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP
settings for the Network Management Card (NMC).
1. The NMC sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself:
– A Vendor Class Identifier (APC by default)
– A Client Identifier (by default, the MAC address of the NMC)
– A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the application
firmware installed on the NMC)
2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that
includes all the settings that the NMC needs for network communication.
The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor Specific Information option (DHCP
option 43). The NMC can be configured to ignore DHCP offers that do not
encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following
hexadecimal format. (The card does not require this cookie by default).
Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43
where
– the first byte (01) is the code
– the second byte (04) is the length
– the remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookie.
See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor
Specific Information option.

The NMC Web interface has options to utilize vendor-specific data to

require the DHCP server to provide an “APC” cookie which will supply
information to the NMC. See the User Guide (www.apc.com/us/en/
download/document/SPD_CCON-AYCEFJ_EN) for information.
See “How to Access a Configured Network Management Card” on
page 21 to finish the configuration.

19 Installation Manual
.INI File Utility
You can use the .INI file export utility to export .INI file settings from configured NMCs
to one or more unconfigured NMCs. The utility and documentation are available on
the APC website, and are also available in Knowledge Base article FA156117 on the
APC website (www.apc.com/support).

Installation Manual 20
How to Access a Configured Network Management Card
Overview
After the UPS Network Management Card (NMC) is running on your network, you
can use the interfaces summarized here: Web interface, Telnet, SSH, SNMP, FTP,
and SCP. The Web interface is recommended for ease of configuration.
For more information about the interfaces, see the User Guide (www.apc.com/us/en/
download/document/SPD_CCON-AYCEFJ_EN).

Web interface
The Network Management Card 3 Web interface is compatible with:
• Windows® operating systems:
– The latest release of Microsoft® Edge®
• All operating systems:
– The latest releases of Mozilla® Firefox® or Google® Chrome®
Other commonly available browsers may work but have not been fully tested by APC
by Schneider Electric.
You can use either of the following protocols when you use the Web interface:
• By default, only HTTPS is enabled. The HTTPS protocol (enabled by
default), which provides extra security through Secure Socket Layer (SSL);
encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted; and
authenticates Network Management Cards by means of digital certificates.
• The HTTP protocol, which provides authentication by user name and
password but no encryption.
NOTE: HTTP is disabled by default. The first log in to the Web UI must be
using the HTTPS protocol.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your device on the
network:
1. Address the Network Management Card by its IP address (or its DNS name,
if a DNS name is configured). For example:
https://156.205.14.141
2. Enter the user name and password (apc/apc by default).
3. If the NMC received an IP address via DHCP and you want to assign a static
IP address to the NMC, navigate to Configuration > Network > TCP/IP > IP
v4 Settings.
4. To enable or disable HTTPS, or enable HTTP, use the NMC Web interface.

See the Security Handbook (www.apc.com/us/en/download/document/

SPD_CCON-BDYD7K_EN) for more information on selecting and
configuring network security.

21 Installation Manual
Command Line Interface access - SSH and Telnet Access
You can access the command line interface through Secure SHell (SSH) or Telnet,
depending on which is enabled. To enable these access methods, use the NMC Web
interface. By default, only SSH is enabled.
SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web
interface, use Secure SHell (SSH) for access to the command line interface. SSH
encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted data.
The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you
access the command line interface through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must
first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your computer.
See the User Guide (www.apc.com/us/en/download/document/
SPD_CCON-AYCEFJ_EN) for more information on configuring and
using SSH.
To access the command line interface using SSH, at a command prompt enter:
ssh -c aes256-ctr <username>@<IP address>
NOTE: This SSH command is for OpenSSH. The command may differ depending on
the SSH tool used.
Telnet for basic access. By default, Telnet is disabled. Telnet provides the basic
security of authentication by user name and password, but not the high-security
benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access the command line interface of the
Network Management Card from any computer on the same subnet:
1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press ENTER:
telnet address
As address, use the Network Management Card’s IP address (or DNS
name, if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 are all disabled by default. You must
configure community names in the Web UI before you can enable any
version of SNMP.
To enable or disable SNMP access, you must be an Administrator. Use
the NMC Web interface or Command Line interface to set it up.

SNMPv1 only. After you add the PowerNet® MIB to a standard SNMP MIB
browser, you can use that browser to access the Network Management Card. All
user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the
network as plain text.

Installation Manual 22
 Use of SNMPv2c is supported by the SNMPv1 options.

SNMPv3 only. For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a
system of user profiles to identify users. An SNMPv3 user must have a user profile
assigned in the MIB software program to perform GETs and SETs, browse the MIB,
and receive traps.
To use SNMPv3, you must have a MIB program that supports SNMPv3.
The Network Management Card supports SHA or MD5 authentication
and AES or DES encryption.

SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. To use StruxureWare Data Center Expert and

EcoStruxure IT to manage the Network Management Card on the public network of
an StruxureWare/EcoStruxure IT system, you must have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit
interface. Read access allows StruxureWare Data Center Expert and EcoStruxure IT
to receive traps from the Network Management Card. Write access is required while
you set StruxureWare Data Center Expert and EcoStruxure IT as a trap receiver.

SCP and FTP

You can use SCP or FTP to transfer downloaded firmware to the Network
Management Card, or to access a copy of the Network Management Card’s event or
data logs.
NOTE: By default, only SCP is enabled. You can use SCP once you have used SSH
or HTTPS to create a user password.
To use StruxureWare Data Center Expert to manage the UPS, you must have the
FTP Server option enabled in the Network Management Card interface.
To enable or disable FTP server access, you must be an Administrator. Use the NMC
Web interface or Command Line interface to set it up.
To transfer firmware, see the User Guide (www.apc.com/us/en/
download/document/SPD_CCON-AYCEFJ_EN).
The SCP interface is enabled when SSH is enabled, as they are part of
the same protocol suite. See the User Guide for more information on
configuring and using SSH.
To retrieve a copy of the event or data log, see the User Guide
(www.apc.com/us/en/download/document/SPD_CCON-AYCEFJ_EN).
Manage the security of your system
For detailed information on enhancing the security of your system after
installation and initial configuration, see the Security Handbook
(www.apc.com/us/en/download/document/SPD_CCON-BDYD7K_EN).

23 Installation Manual
How to Reset after a Lost Password
NOTE: Resetting your NMC will reset the card to its default
configuration.

If you forget your password, you must use the Reset button on the NMC to wipe all
configuration, including the password. Hold down the Reset button for 20-25
seconds, ensuring the Status LED is pulsing green during this time. When the Status
LED changes to amber or orange, release the Reset button to allow the NMC to
complete its reboot process.
After the NMC reboots, you must re-configure your NMC. See “Quick
Configuration” on page 11.

It is recommended you export the .ini file after configuring your NMC to prevent loss
of data in the event of a lost password. See “Retrieving and Exporting the .ini File” in
the NMC User Guide (www.apc.com/us/en/download/document/SPD_CCON-
AYCEFJ_EN) for more information.
