I have an APC UPS 620 and a Windows Server 2012 R2 (non virtual) server. The server and the UPS are connected with genuine APC serial signaling cable. Without installing any software the APC is not recognized as a device in the Device Manager. Is that normal/expected?

I've read that USB connected APCs are recognized. How can I monitor that APC from the server? I recently installed the latest PowerChute Business Edition (v9.2 for 5 node), but I don't see the APC listed either during the installation process. As far as I understand this latest version may not support serial signaling at all?Some search shows that PowerChute v7.05 supports serial signaling but that version dates back to 2007, so way back before 2012 existed.What's the best method to monitor my APC UPS in this case?

Hello Community!Please tell me that someone reading this can help me! Vodafone call details software free download. I simply want to connect to my APC SUA3000 Smart UPS to configure the networking so that I can monitor its statistics remotely.

I know it sounds simple, and it sounds like ANYONE should be able to do this but I cannot. I have attempted to connect via serial cable (the APC serial cable none-the-less that I had to purchase because you can ONLY use APC serial cables.) Once connected with the serial cable, I opened hyperterminal with the suggested settings and no luck. I then attempted to connect to the weird ethernet jack on the back and browse to 10.0.0.9 as instructed and nothing.Do I need APC software to go along with this? I would think connecting directly with a serial cable would bypass the need for any software. Someone of the 1 million plus users of Spiceworks has surely done this before and knows exactly what to tell me!Thanks for the help!

Is this the NIC card you have installed in your UPS?If so, have you tried using the 'N etwork Management Device IP Configuration Wizard ' to configure it? If you don't have that application, you can download it from here:Connect your UPS to the same network as the computer you are using to configure it. You can install the configuration wizard and follow the step-by-step instructions that you can find on that same page. I haven't done it in a while but from what I remeber it is very straight forward with that software.

If you only have the one server attached to the one UPS, then you can use the serial port. If you want to shut down more than one server attached to one UPS you would need the Network Management Card. The slot for the card is the top left corner on the back of the UPS. It will be a blank plate held on by two screws. Every Smart-UPS model has the slot for the NMC. I might be wrong, but if you are wanting to shut down the guests individually, you would need the NMC in order to run PowerChute Network Shutdown otherwise the serial can shut down the host, and the guests would shut off through Hyper-V.

I know VMWare requires the NMC in order to shut down guests.

Ok guys, so we all agree I need to grab the software. Let me ask you this in reference to the Network Management Card: Does it belong where this black plate is currently attached on the back of my UPS? I attached a picture I just took.

I'm thinking I DO NOT have the NMC installed. Are we saying this is something I would need to have as well?

You can see in the picture where I currently have the ethernet cable attached. I'm thinking now that is incorrect.Sorry, I just got hit with this project this afternoon and I've never played with these things before, so this is why I might seem a bit naive when it comes to my questioning. Ok, from that picture I can make out that it says 'SB' where you connected that red ethernet cable so I assume that is a USB port.not sure how you got an ethernet cable plugged in there lolAnyway, that black plate on top of that is where you would need to install your management card. The card itself can look like the one on the first link I posted or one of these other 2:Those cards are typically purchased separately so check if you have it. If not you will need to purchase it if you want to manage your UPS over the network. If you have 4 units you should be able to use the free version of software, installed on one server with agents on the rest.

You can then go into the console on the server and check your UPS status, power down, etc. The USB to ethernet adapters should work for this, you would connect each UPS to it's own server.The other option is to install the NMC in each UPS in the SmartSlot that your picture shows.

Not hot-swappable by the way, power down first. The you can access the NMC through a web browser but you have to access each unit independently.Having done this both ways I now prefer the latter method. They are pretty much set & forget anyway, plus you configure the alert emails and they let you know when it's going pear-shaped. (Although 6 units all emailing you every 2 minutes when the power goes off can be a slight annoyance)The beauty of the NMC for me is the remote cabinets that have a UPS but no server. Yup, that connector is 'most definitely' a 100% pure USB connector, just implemented on a non-standard port (a keyed RJ45) rather than the expected USB Type A.And yup, the way to go if you have the money, is to purchase the network management card for the SmartSlot.

A nice bonus feature of these cards is that they come with a plug-in temperature probe and I think it may monitor humidity too. When properly configured, it will be your environment monitor for that rack room.If you're bothered by having lots of extra money that you can't find a use for, and if you have several similar UPS units or APC infrastructure devices to monitor (power distribution units, chillers, NetBotz appliances, etc.) then they make an application (used to be called InfraSTRUXure or something like that) to manage all your gear from one web-based console.

I think you can get it as a hardware appliance, or as software-only and install it on your own server. I think it will also monitor non-APC gear when properly set up.We hav.
