UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide92
3. Type open and the IP address of the Management Card, and press ENTER. If the port setting for
the FTP Server has changed from its default of 21, you must use the non-default value in the FTP
command.
• For Windows FTP clients, separate a non-default port number from the IP address by a
space. For example:
ftp> open 150.250.6.10 21000
• Some FTP clients require a colon instead before the port number.
4. Log on as Administrator; apc is the default user name and password.
5. Upgrade the AOS. (In the example, xxx is the firmware version number):
ftp> bin
ftp> put apc_hw05_aos_xxx.bin
6. When FTP confirms the transfer, type
quit to close the session.
7. After 20 seconds, repeat step 2 through step 6. In step 5, use the application module file name.
SCP. To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for the Management Card:
1. Identify and locate the firmware modules described in the preceding instructions for FTP.
2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the Management Card. The
following example uses xxx to represent the version number of the AOS module:
scp apc_hw05_aos_xxx.bin apc@158.205.6.185:apc_hw05_aos_xxx.bin
3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to transfer the
application firmware module to the Management Card.
How to upgrade multiple Management Cards
NMC2 Firmware Upgrade Utility. Use this for multiple firmware updates in IPv4 if you have
Windows. The utility records all upgrade steps in a log as a good reference to validate the upgrade.
Export configuration settings. You can create batch files and use an APC utility to retrieve
configuration settings from multiple Management Cards and export them to other Management Cards.
See Release Notes: ini File Utility, version 1.0, available on the APC Network Management
Card Utility CD.
Use FTP or SCP to upgrade multiple Management Cards. To upgrade multiple Management
Cards using an FTP client or using SCP, write a script which automatically performs the procedure.
Using the NMC2 Firmware Upgrade Utility for multiple upgrades
After downloading from the APC website, double click on the exe file to run the utility (which ONLY
works with IPv4) and follow these steps to upgrade your Management Card firmware:
1. Type in an IP address, a user name, and a password, and choose the Ping button if you need to
verify an IP address.
2. Choose the Device List button to open the
iplist.txt file. This should list any device IP,
user name, and password, for example,
SystemIP=192.168.0.1
SystemUserName=apc
SystemPassword=apc
