6 Remote Monitoring
6.1. Description
Remote monitoring and control of the DC power system is accomplished through the use of the
optional APC Network Management card. This card is a separate module mounted into the top
panel of the system controller module.
Complete documentation for the use of the management card accompanies the DC power
system in the form of a small Quick Start Guide and a CD. The CD contains electronic copies of
User’s Manuals along with the necessary software utilities to support the management function.
6.2. Physical Connections
The management card has a RJ-45 connector to support a TCP/IP protocol over a 10BaseT
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). The 9-pin D-shell connector uses the special RS-232 cable
(APC part number 940-0024C) to allow local access through a Terminal Emulation program like
HyperTerminal™ or Procomm™.
6.3. Command and Monitoring Protocol
Refer to the User’s Guides and associated documentation provided on the management card
CD for the details on installation and use of the various communication protocols and command
settings.
