## Description

APC AP9630 UPS Network Management Card 2

Review: Discontinued yes but old and reliable tech that works... just update to latest firmware! - Like many others have mentioned, this model is older now and officially discontinued but still works great for what the majority of users need a NMC for. Card I just ordered (Nov 2024) was made in 2010 but sealed in a new box. The included serial cable and DVD seem quaint now but thankfully are not needed for most users. The card fired right up in a new Smart-UPS 1500C. It will pickup an IP address via DHCP, which can then be found by various utilities or the DHCP client list. Strongly suggest you update the firmware from the APC website BEFORE configuring anything else given the large version jump. They released a new version 7.1.8 just last week! Definitely a large money saver going with the AP9630!
Review: Perfect for my needs - Received new old stock from 2008 in factory sealed box with slightly dated software CD and console cable. Installation to my SMT unit was straightforward and firmware update was easy. This card just reached end of support but I expect it will be fine for many years of service and saved some $$ over the newest one. Was able to configure smtp auth for email alerts fairly easily, unlike some previous reviews reported, perhaps due to newest firmware. It has a ton of features, far more than I will ever use beyond monitoring, multiple devices configured to shutdown safely, and rarely for remote power cycle.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this allow me to remotely power cycle a port?**
A: The previous answer is correct and not correct at the same time.  Some UPS's support power cycling of "Banks" of ports but not individual ports.  It really depends on what the UPS itself can do.

**Q: Please let us know if: 1) These units are brand new; 2) What type of warranty do they come with?; 3) Are these sold directly from APC?**
A: 1. Yes they are new.  2.  No warranty but what Amazon offers on the sale, to my knowledge.  3.  No they are not sold by APC.

**Q: I want to monitor my ups using this card with nagios using snmp, someone tried to monitor this hardware in this way?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does the appropriate console cable come with the card?**
A: I got mine from WEDNET LLC in an ACP box, but without a manufacturer's seal and without a console cable.  Card was either broken or already had an IP address.  Paid new price but appear to have received used card.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ card works, was new, but card was OLD!!
*by B***B on February 4, 2019*

i order a new condition card and receive a new condition card. i install the card and log into the web portal and the screens look nothing like what is shown online. i look and would you look at that.... the firmware installed was from 2010! i then look some more and the cards manufacture date was in 2010! this card has been sitting in a box for 8 years! well, i proceed with updating the firmware released late 2018 (which goes super smooth) and the card works great. people have asked why this is so expensive, and some have commented that it is just a network interface card. it is much more than that. your standard NIC you would buy for $20 or less for a desktop is just a NIC. this card has an entire (multiple technically) web server and operating system embedded in it. remember this card has TELNET capabilities, web access, and FTP server (file upload and download) functionality. each is their own stand alone server operating on the embedded operating system of the card. All of this is running on the card, not the UPS itself. this requires much more time to design and more expensive parts, but mostly you are paying for the time and effort to write and MAINTAIN updated code for this product. while the new SMART UPS have the smart connect feature, this card gives you so much more. the smart connect gives you the ability to see the status of the UPS (faults, battery run time/capacity etc), e-mail you if there are issues, that is all it is doing, allowing you to see the UPS readings. this functionality is also included free with the smart UPS. so if you are looking only for basic monitoring and email notifications of a select few important events, you may not need this card. however if you want to actually change settings (ANY AND ALL SETTINGS) within the UPS, you can do this through the management card. the management card can also e-mail notify you for a plethora of additional reasons if you deem needed. you can also manually operate the UPS outlet groups, turn off or on the UPS remotely perform tests and diagnostics etc of the unit all remotely. if you want or need any (and more) of these features then this card is what you want. then you simply register your UPS on APC smart connect temporarily so you can get additional warranty time on your battery. i recommend this card and am going to get three more on top of the two i now have so all of my units have this card. the reason i have assigned 4/5 stars is due to the email notification: the newest firmware does support TLS 1.2 which modern browsers and email providers now want. i have had difficulty in getting my SMTP messages sent if they require TLS or SSL (hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc) so it does seem the card still has issues with encryption. to get my e-mail working i used my local ISP SMTP server with no TLS/SSL and no authentication (no user name and password). My ISP allows this if and only if the SMTP message originates from my account's Modem MAC address. The MAC address origination behaves as the username/password. This is still not ideal as there is no encryption, but at least i do not need to worry about user names or password being transmitted in plain text. reading online there are some work around, but they are messy. if this worked the way it is marketed, then i should be able to use my gmail or hotmail SMTP directly.
