Apc Ups Serial Port Configuration
4/14/2010 12:17 AM Does anyone know what the output signal is (signal type, voltage, pin assignment) on the serial port of a Smart UPS model DLA1500 upon loss of primary power? APC reports it is a DC signal of some sort but couldn't tell me much more. Testing on the communication cable that came with it (which doesn't work for my application) shows pins 1, 2, and 9 at the UPS end connected, respectively, to pins 3, 4, and 1 (ands all other pins not connected). I suppose I could just build a little test cable and do some experimentation but that's a lot of work and I'm hoping someone could just tell me then I can fabricate a cable to take the signal from the UPS serial port and input it into my device's serial port. This discussion is marked as answered 4/14/2010 12:29 AM (in response to Steve) Here you go from the APC knowledge-base: [computer interface port specifications for the 3G Smart-UPS family Also, I believe the serial cable you have is for smart signaling, however you seem to be interested in the simple signaling capabilities which use different pins on the UPS serial port. The knowledge-base article above has the details.
Issue An APC Network Management Card must be configured with network settings before it can communicate on the network. Once the cards have been configured with an IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway the cards can be accessed, managed, and controlled from other computers on the network. There are multiple configuration options available, outlined below, for each family of Network Management Cards or devices that have embedded versions of these products. Product Line • Web/SNMP Card - AP9606. Devices with an embedded Network Management Card 2 include (but are not limited to): 2G Metered/Switched Rack PDUs (AP84XX, AP86XX, AP88XX, AP89XX), Rack Automatic Transfer Switches (AP44XX), Certain Audio/Video Network Management Enabled products, Smart-UPS Online (SRT). Environment • All serial numbers • All firmware revisions (unless otherwise noted) • Unconfigured Network Management Card enabled Devices • Network Management Card devices requiring reconfiguration Cause A Network Management Card requires TCP/IP settings prior to being accessible accessible via a network. Resolution If you have a Network Management Card 1: In regards to Network Management Card 1 (AP9617, AP9618, AP9619) or devices with an embedded Network Management Card 1 (such as a AP78XX or AP79XX Rack PDU, Environmental Monitoring Unit, etc), there are three available options to configure the Network Management Card (NMC) with it's initial settings: the Wizard, terminal emulation (local/direct connection), and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
Default boot mode: DHCP/BootP - With DHCP Option 43 Vendor Cookie required to accept DHCP Offer. By default, all of APC's Network Management Card 1 based devices are configured for a boot mode of DHCP/BOOTP. If using DHCP, a vendor cookie (DHCP Option 43) is required by default. If it is not configured on your DHCP server, the card will not accept an IP address.
You can use the methods below to configure/access the card if you do not wish to use DHCP/BOOTP. Dama Su Internet Windows 7 more. If you have a Network Management Card 2: Default boot mode: DHCP Only - With DHCP Option 43 Vendor Cookie NOT required to accept DHCP Offer. Descargar Gta Vice City Para Pc Windows Vista there.
By default, all of APC's Network Management Card 2 based devices (such as a AP8XXX Next Gen Rack PDU ) with AOS 5.1.1 or higher, are configured for DHCP Only with no vendor cookie required by default. They will obtain an IP address automatically so you may need to refer to your DHCP server to find out what IP address it obtained. All APC devices have a MAC address that begin with 00 C0 B7 which may help while reviewing your DHCP Client List. In order to configure your Network Management Card enabled device, please pick one of the available configuration methods listed below: • • • • • The Device IP configuration wizard is included on the CD that comes with the cards (current v5.0.2) and the latest version is currently only (v5.0.2). When I Lay My Isaac Down Chords. The wizard must run on a Windows operating system. You can configure the card using the wizard over the network only with v5.0.0 and higher. Prior 3.x versions allow local configuration of the NMC with this program. With the Network Management Card 2 family, the Device IP Configuration Wizard v3.0.1 and below will not work via the local method inside the wizard.
