The Wizard runs on Windows® 2000, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2016, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 2012.

  • The Network Management Device IP Configuration Utility only supports the discovery of unassigned devices.

  • You cannot search for assigned devices already on the network using an IP range unless you enable SNMPv1 and set the Community Name to “public”.
    For more information on SNMPv1, see the User Guide.

  • When the NMC IP address settings are configured, to access the NMC Web UI in a browser, you must update the URL from http to https.

Security Notifications/Disclosure

Security Vulnerability Fixes:
This release includes remediation for various vulnerabilities which include multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, potential disclosure of non- sensitive data (debug file), and account manipulation by administrator-level or higher accounts.

Known Issues in This Version

  1. SNMPv3 communication and monitoring on some third-party SNMP management tools such as ManageEngine OpManager does not work properly.
  2. Modifying large groups of event actions by severity may cause an unexpected network interface restart.

New Features and Enhancements

  1. The SSL self-signed certificate “Valid To” year has been changed from 2022 to 2035.
    NOTE: If you are currently using an internally generated self-signed certificate and wish to extend its use past 2021, you will need to delete the current certificate and reboot the NMC to allow a new internally generated certificate with the “Valid To” year of 2035 to be created.

  2. Support added for creating users via the configuration file (config.ini). A setonly keyword has been added in the [SystemUserManager] section, “CreateUser”, which allows a user account to be added to the system
    NOTE: You cannot delete or edit a user via this method.

  3. New DHCP option added in the Web UI and CLI to allow the user to determine if they want the NMC to retrieve the vendor-specific file again after subsequent DHCP leases are assigned.

Bugs Fixed in This Version

  1. Addressed security vulnerabilities.

Event Support List

For event names and event codes for all the events supported by a currently connected APC device, retrieve the Config.ini file from a configured Network Management Card. To use FTP to retrieve the Config.ini file from a configured Network Management Card:

  1. Open a connection to the Network Management Card, using its IP Address: ftp> open .
  2. Log on using the Administrator user= name and password.
  3. Retrieve the Config.ini file containing the settings of the Network Management Card of the UPS: ftp> get= config.ini. The file is written to the folder from which you launched the FTP.

In the Config.ini file, find the section heading [EventActionConfig].

In the list of events under that section heading, substitute 0x for the initial E in the code for any event to obtain the hexadecimal event code shown in the user interface and in the documentation. For example, the hexadecimal code for the code E0033 in the Config.ini file (for the event “System: Configuration change”) is 0x0033

Powernet MIB Reference Guide

The MIB Reference Guide, available on www.se.com, explains the structure of the MIB, types of OIDs, and the procedure for defining trap receivers.

For information on specific OIDs, use a MIB browser to view their definitions and available values directly from the MIB itself. You can view the definitions of traps at the end of the MIB itself (the file powernet440.mib is available for download at www.se.com).
