Problem with the web page on a APC SMT1500C

[BillP]

Hello

I need a little help. It’s certainly just a little think. I receive 2 new ups APC SMT1500C. I connect to my switch, I have a dchp, I receive an ip. I can ping it. So that’s good. But I wasn’t able to connect to the web page of the ups, I try, Network Management Device IP Configuration Wizard, I scan the network (I am on the same Vlan than the ups) but I can’t find it. I think that it can be a problem with the IP (I have a lot of devices with an IP fix, so I scan the network take another IP) but not. I try another switch, 3 different cables. I check the subnet. Do a factory default to the ups. But I have really no idea why I wasn’t able to access to the web page. When I scan the network with advance IP scanners, I see the UPS APC. I can ping it but the web page wasn’t accessible.

Have you any idea? Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Genevieve,

Have you tried to use HTTPS, all new APC devices have HTTP disabled by default. Alternatively if you can SSH to the device using PuTTy or similar you can enable it with the following commands enable HTTP by running the following commands:

web -h enable

reboot

Hello,

Did you connect to the SamrtConnect NIC that is built into the UPS?

If you are using the built-in NIC to access the UPS, you must create a SmartConnect cloud account, register your UPS with the account, and then you can view the UPS status.

Please go to SmartConnect.apc.com to sign up and review the help files for assistance.

Thanks for your answer

I try both (http and https) but they doesn't work. I try connect with putty in ssh and that's not working (no connection).

thanks for you help

Do you know if your using a NMC or a Smart Connect port?

The Smart Connect port is green and as Bill has already said it does not have a local interface.

I have just purchased 4 of these for part of our under ground network. This is a standalone vlan that is not capable of accessing the internet. All our data was pulled of the old ones over this network and setup by assigning an ip address on the same vlan and polling this. Am i handcuffed to the web connection with this model? If that is the case these will be no useable in our situation and in most control system applications. Please advise.
