PowerChute Setup: Network Management Card Registration

[Anonymous user]

Hello,
I have problem with PowerChute Setup on Hyper-V.
I have downloaded and installed PowerChute software with success on my hypervisor server.
After that I have done configurazion wizard until this section:

"PowerChute Setup: Network Management Card Registration"

EmLnDuS0LeZ8d0UGYNe9cw%3D%3D&Rest-Api-Key=d3Bhc3F1aWw6NjM3MzU2MWEtNzYzMC00OTc5LTkyMTAtOTJjYTU0NGEwZWFl.png

This section asks about a user, password and Authentication Phrase.

On APC UPS I have seen that I can configure Authentication Phrase but I can't do it with success.
I get this error:

M1JTtlatS7pvMokWUFdVtA%3D%3D&Rest-Api-Key=d3Bhc3F1aWw6NjM3MzU2MWEtNzYzMC00OTc5LTkyMTAtOTJjYTU0NGEwZWFl.png

What I am doing wrong?

p.s.

UPS and Hyper-V are in the same VLAN and there is not firewall block between hosts.

Thanks so much for your help in advanced.

Best regards
Federico

Hi,

The authentication phrase must be 15 to 32 ASCII characters. The phrase enter in the NMC web interface must match the phrase enter in the PCNS web interface. Also note if you have not done so you will need to enable http and or http for PowerChute.

Hi,
thanks so much for your reply.
I have generate a random ASCII string (using this website: https://onlineasciitools.com/generate-random-ascii) and I have added this string in Configuration > Control >  Authentication Phrase
Than I have enable HTTP and HTTPS (always in the same page).
Finally I have run the PowerChute Wizard again with success.
I have attached photo's to this post about it.

Thanks for your help.
