 Features & Benefits

User Interface
APC Web/SNMP Management Card
(10 BaseT Ethernet only)
Full-featured UPS management via a Web Browser.
SNMP-based Management Comprehensive power management from all major Network Management Systems via PowerNet. See Management Platform Integration for more information.
Telnet Full-featured UPS management via a Telnet Console.
WAP Check status of most SmartUps or Matrix.
UPS Administration
BOOTP Enabled Card ships BOOTP enabled so that a BOOTP server assigns an IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway to the card.
Configuration utility (10 BaseT Ethernet only) Cards ship with configuration utility that allows the Administrator to save a standard configuration file. This file can then be downloaded over the network to mass configure hundreds of Web/SNMP Cards.
Security (10 BaseT Ethernet only) User name and password in basic mode Enhanced mode employs advanced authentication scheme using the MD5 Algorithm.
Task Scheduling Schedule periodic UPS self-tests.
UPS Operating Parameters Full control over UPS transfer settings and sensitivity to power fluctuations.
UPS Audible Alarm Configure UPS alarm to beep on power failure, power failure + 30 seconds, at low battery condition, or never beep.
Diagnostics
Predictive failure analysis The UPS conducts regular internal self-tests. When a potential problem is detected, such as the need for a replacement battery, a notification is sent to the relevant Administrators and users before the problem arises. This allows an Administrator to be proactive in maintenance.
UPS Self-test Initiate self test of local or remote UPS to maximize UPS uptime.
UPS Runtime Calibration Initiate runtime calibration of remote UPS to maintain accurate runtime values.
SNMP trap based events logged in NMS event console Records power events with a description to enable diagnosis of UPS/power problems.
Event Handling
Email The Web/SNMP Management Card supports Email capability for all UPS application firmware modules (sumx310.bin, sy310.bin, and dp3e310.bin.) Provides Administrator with event notification to Email capable devices.
Event Log The Web/SNMP Management Card supports on-board Event Logging capability for all UPS application firmware modules (sumx310.bin, sy310.bin, and dp3e310.bin.) This allows you to record and view power and system events without using PowerChute software. The last 300 events will be displayed using Web, Telnet, and FTP interfaces.
Severity based action configuration Allows an Administrator to configure (based upon severity) which events will send notifications to which Email/Trap recipients.
Over 70 SNMP traps based events reported For each of the 70+ power and environmental events, the Administrator can configure the Network Management System (NMS) to e-mail, page, or take other necessary actions.
Shutdown/Reboot
Operating System Shutdown Gracefully shuts down operating system (requires PowerChute plus on server).
Multi-server Shutdown Via network. See PowerChute Network Shutdown for more information.
Administrative Shutdown Immediate, graceful shutdown/restart of servers.
Shutdown Parameters Set and modify the shutdown parameters to best suit the needs of the server being protected. Required operating system shutdown time.
Power Return Parameters Enable automatic server reboot on return of AC Power. Ensure batteries are sufficiently charged before returning power to the server to guard against successive power outages.
Turn off UPS Shuts off power to connected equipment. Excellent for situations where construction or maintenance is scheduled in a facility.
Recommended Applications
Any server or networking equipment protected by APC UPSs, especially mission critical systems. Datacenter environments benefit greatly with the high level of UPS control.
