Remote Network management for Smart UPS 1500 and 750

[Anonymous user]

I noticed that the back of my UPS unit has what seems to be an ethernet port. I tried to find some documentation but I am not 100% sure if I found the correct documentation. Do these models have remotely accessible interfaces/command lines natively or through adding network management cards?

The DB9 port on the UPS itself is a USB/Simple Signaling/RS232 port, not ethernet. If you have a network management card (NMC 2) installed into the smartslot, that will have an ethernet connector. The real ethernet port on the NMC has two lights on it: one indicates 10MBit/100MBit, the other whether the network management card has booted properly.

The Network Management Card is listed on APC's website here, and there's a test drive here.
