APC by Schneider Electric AP9640 UPS Management Adapter

This works great. One caution, if you use probably any of these to update firmware through the web interface, consider resetting the web interface timeout. The default is 3 min and when you launch a firmware update (recalling from memory, as this was a while back) the process opens a new window/term and needs to run longer than the 3 min default timeout. Since this is on a managementy lan, not an issue to leave it at max timeout.

As manufacturers continue to move to force customers to buy subscription licenses, it is always good to have an alternative. I bought this for my rack mount SMT1000, because I found out the "SmartConnect" functionality is crippled unless you pay. Although it is not a cheap option, this vendor is significantly cheaper than APC's list pricing. Installation was a breeze, having prepared the DHCP options in advance on my Unifi environment. I upgraded the firmware, set up SNMP for my QNAP NAS devices, SMTP for alerts, and set up preferences for load-shedding all within a couple of hours. I just need to complete a calibration so that I have an accurate idea of how long the battery will last with my current load. I saw that APC is saying that the firmware I installed is the last "free" update before forcing a support contract for future updates. I'm just a home user, so I'll be fine with what I have. Having battery backup for my NAS devices was the primary reason for this purchase; I now have peace of mind with the UPS, and the ability to control how the battery backup allows my QNAP devices to gracefully shut down in the event of a power outage.

Tarjeta en perfectas condiciones, se instalo un funciona correctamente.

** Update ** I found a solution: DO NOT CONFIGURE THE NOTIFICATION E-MAIL settings. The card works great as long as you don't touch the E-Mail settings. Ref: I have reset and reinstalled the latest firmware, but after little awhile, it comes up with the message: "The Application Is Incompatible With This APC OS" When I try to ssh into the card, it says: "no matching cipher found. Their offer: aes128-cbc,aes256-cbc,3des-cbc" *sigh* You can use ssh -c aes128-cbc [email protected] to ssh in. It appears that the software used in the AP9641 is old and crappy. I'm tired of resetting, flashing, and configuring over and over. I'm returning it.

If you're in IT still managing your APC Smart-UPS devices with the horrible PowerChute software, you're missing out. The only way to properly monitor/maintain your lot is to install this card in each device. Simple to install, get on the network and setup.

Haven't installed it yet but the product arrived new in box and was delivered fast.

Since the really old-fashion 10/100 speed card is being retired from any more updates, now is the time to upgrade to the NMC v3.0 with 10/100/1000 speed card from APC. I did a firmware update also, and everything is working fine.

Very difficult to setup. Even using the device ip config utility. Tried downloading the driver and installing. Nothing works. Forget getting APC Tech support on the phone. I have never liked APC software and this is my last APC purchase.

Justo el producto que necesitaba para monitorear mi UPS.

Better alternative to SmartConnect. Advice: increase the timeout for admin user from the default 3 to 60 minutes (maximum).

See title. The web interface seem slower (because it’s more secure) than the previous generation. To be fair, APC products last for ages even though they are deployed in less than idea situations.

Lieferung wie erwartet positiv. Alles geklappt. Karte eingebaut in die USV und Konfiguriert. APC-USV-System läuft stabil.
