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. ## Features - Device Encryption: Securely connect via HTTPS/SSL, SSH (up to 2048-bit encryption), SNMPv3 - Command line interface: Offers Telnet or SSH for remote management access - Scheduling: Customize shut down and reboot of connected equipment and UPSs - Remote UPS management: Enable management of your UPS by connecting it directly to the network - Password Security: User-selectable password protection prevents unauthorized access ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0028H1G9C | | Battery Cell Type | Lithium Manganese Dioxide | | Best Sellers Rank | #151 in Computer Uninterruptible Power Supply Units | | Brand | APC | | Color | Black | | Connector Type | Ethernet | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (149) | | Enclosure Material | Shell | | Form Factor | Credit-card sized | | Item Dimensions | 4.76 x 4.49 x 1.5 inches | | Item Part Number | AP9630 | | Item Weight | 80 Grams | | Manufacturer | APC | | Mfr Part Number | AP9630 | | Model Number | AP9630 | | Output Voltage | 230 Volts | | Power Plug Type | Type B - 3 pin (North American & Japanese) | | Specification Met | AS/NZS 3548 (C-Tick) Class A | | UPC | 809394444618 731304283454 069060060478 731304267416 | | Voltage | 230 Volts | ## Product Details - **Battery Cell Composition:** Lithium Manganese Dioxide - **Brand:** APC - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Shell - **Voltage:** 230 Volts ## Images ![AP9630 UPS Network Management Card 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7156hiwt1RL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Discontinued yes but old and reliable tech that works... just update to latest firmware! *by A***R on November 17, 2024* 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.

The Network Management Card (NMC) is operable, but... Updating NMC certain settings without updating the firmware will will stop response via https. Resetting the NMC will reactivate https. Out of the box, the self-signed SSL certificate is expired, updating the firmware to the latest version (v7.08) will set the SSL certificate expiration to 2035. APC cable (940-0299) is required to update the firmware, and is sold on Amazon. The firmware and update procedures can be found on the APC website.
