 AN!Wiki :: Configuring APC SmartUPS with AP9630 Network Cards

Note: Depending on the firmware version, your screenshots may use the old APC branding and will differ significantly from the screenshots we use. An upgrade of the firmware should update your web interface.

This tutorial assumes a fresh configuration. If you've changed anything, you should reset your UPS to factory defaults.

Resetting To Factory Defaults

 Note: You will need a serial port to connect to the UPS network controller. If your computer doesn't have a serial port, the Antaria line of USB to serial adapters work perfectly in Linux and other operating systems. For this tutorial, we will be using the screen program to access the serial interface. In our case, the serial port is /dev/ttyUSB0. This might well be different for you, depending on your operating system, serial port hardware, etc. 
screen /dev/ttyUSB0

The initial page will show nothing, so press <enter> a couple of times until the login prompt appears. 

User Name :

Enter 'apc'. If the UPS has not been configured before, the default password is also 'apc'. If someone has changed the password, you will need to use that.

Note: If you don't know what the current password is, use the password reset procedure. 
User Name : apc
Password  : ******

When you login, you will see the default menu.
