I'm trying to find the latest firmware files for an ap9619, which I understand to be a 'network management' card - 'nmcard' (as opposed to the 'web management' card - 'webcard'). I've dug through the ftp site here - ftp://ftp.apcc.com/apc/public/hardware/nmcard/firmware/, but the files in the 'aos' and 'sumx' directories are older than what I've already got - I'm currently running:

Network Management Card AOS v2.5.0
Smart-UPS & Matrix-UPS APP v2.5.1

The 'download shortcuts' link on the apcc site only seems to have the executable all-in-one, which I can read the contents of, but not unpack on my linux (ubuntu 8.1) management station.

Is there somewhere I can download the just the aos and sumx files to do a basic ftp upgrade?

thanks,

ch

Rename the executable all-in-one .zip instead of .exe, and then unzip it.

test:~ voidstar$ unzip ~/Downloads/apc_hw02_aos361_sumx358.zip 
Archive:  /Users/voidstar/Downloads/apc_hw02_aos361_sumx358.zip
  inflating: apc_hw02_aos_361.bin    
  inflating: apc_hw02_sumx_358.bin   
  inflating: winftp32.dll            
 extracting: config.txt              
 extracting: iplist.txt              
  inflating: upgrd_util.exe          
  inflating: apc_hw02_aos_202.bin    
 extracting: go.bat                  

Yeah, I wish they didn't assume everyone uses a Windows machine.

also, the files on the public FTP site are definitely not the ones you want to use. download the executable for the AP9619 from the software and firmware section of the apc.com if you havent already, AOS 3.6.1 and SUMX 3.5.8, and then you can unzip it has voidstar mentioned and [follow these directions|http://nam-en.apc.com/cgi-bin/nam_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=768]

hope that helps!

Sweet! renaming the .exe was the missing bit of info - thanks to both of you for the tips.
