Please read this guide and follow the instructions for installation and use.

INTRODUCTION

Overview
The CyberPower Remote Management Card allows a UPS/ATS PDU system and environmental sensor to be managed, monitored, and configured. After installing the hardware and configuring an IP address, the user can access, monitor, and control the UPS/ATS PDU from anywhere in the world! Simply use a web browser or SSH client to access your UPS/ATS PDU. Servers and workstations can be protected by the UPS utilizing PowerPanel® Business Remote to gracefully shut down when signaled by the Remote Management Card.

1.  Remove the two retaining screws of the expansion slot, and then remove the cover.
2. Install the CyberPower Remote Management Card into the expansion slot.
3.  Insert and tighten the retaining screws.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the CyberPower Remote Management Card.
5. (Optional) To connect an environmental sensor, use an RJ45 Ethernet cable. Connect one end to the Universal port on the RMCARD and the other end to the sensor. For more information, please see the ENVIROSENOR user’s manual.

Step 2. Configure the IP Address for the CyberPower Remote Management Card
Method 1: Using the Power Device Network Utility

1.  Install the Power Device Network Utility available for download at www.CyberPower.com.
2.  After installation completes, run the “Power Device Network Utility”.
3.  The main window of the Power Device Network Utility program is shown in Figure 1. The configuration tool will display all CyberPower Remote Management devices present on the local network subnet. The “Refresh” button is used to search the local network subnet again.
4. Select the Remote Management Card you are setting up. Click on the Tools menu and select or double-click the Remote Management Card you want to configure.
5.  You can modify the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and gateway address for the Device MAC Address listed in the Device Network Settings window, as shown in Figure
6. The factory default IP Address is 192.168.20.177 and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
7. Modify the IP, subnet mask or gateway address. Enter the new addresses into the corresponding fields and then click “Save”.
8.  You will need to enter a User Name and Password for the Remote Management Card in the authentication window, as shown in Figure 3.  Default user name: cyber fault password: cyber
9. If the IP address change is successful, you will see a message confirming the IP setup, as shown in Figure 4.

Method 2: Using a Command Prompt
NOTE: These instructions are for Windows OS. For other OS please refer to RMCARD User’s Manual available for download at CyberPower Systems’ official website: www.CyberPower.com.

1.  Obtain the MAC address from the label on the Remote Management Card. Each Management Card has a unique MAC address.

2.  Use the ARP command to set the IP address.
   Example: To assign the IP Address 192.168.10.134 for the Remote Management Card, which has a MAC address of 00- 0C-15-00-FF-99 you will type in the following in the command prompt from a PC connected to the same network as the Remote Management Card.

3. Use the Ping command to assign a size of 123 bytes to the IP. Type in “ping 192.168.10.134 -l 123” then press Enter.  If the replies are received, your computer can communicate with the IP address.

WEB INTERFACE Login User Account

You will need to enter a User Name and Password to login into the interface and can select a preferred language after login. There are two user account types.

1.  Administrator
   •  Default username: cyber
   •  Default password: cyber
