Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual2
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric™ Rack Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) with Network Management
Card 2 provides redundant power to single-corded equipment loads, such as servers. The Rack ATS has
two input power cords that supply power to the connected loads from both a primary and secondary
power source. If the primary source becomes unavailable or goes out of the configured power range, the
Rack ATS will switch to draw power from the secondary source without interrupting critical loads. You
can manage a Rack ATS through its Web User Interface (Web UI), its Command Line Interface (CLI),
StruxureWare™ Data Center Expert®, EcoStruxure IT, or Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). (To use the PowerNet® MIB with an SNMP browser, see the Management Information Base
(MIB) Reference Guide, available at www.apc.com.)
Product Features
The Rack ATS has these additional features:
LED indicators on the front panel of the unit indicate operation conditions such as preferred
source, overload current, and Web connectivity. These conditions can also be monitored via the
CLI and Web UI.
Various levels of access: Super User, Administrator, Device User, Read-Only, and Network-Only
User. (These have user name and password requirements.)
A multiple-user login feature, which allows up to four users to be logged in simultaneously.
Event and data logging. The event log is accessible by Telnet, Secure CoPy (SCP), File Transfer
Protocol (FTP), serial connection, or Web browser (using HTTPS access with SSL/TLS, or using
HTTP access). The data log is accessible by Web browser, SCP, or FTP.
SNMP traps, Syslog messages, and e-mail notifications based on the severity level or category of
the Rack ATS and NMC system event.
Security protocols for authentication and encryption.
The ability to monitor sources rs via Web and CLI interfaces.and set source-transfer paramete
Set alarm thresholds that provide network and visual alarms to help you prevent overloaded
circuits.
Internal protection measures against short circuits. (See “Internal Protection Measures” on page 3
for details.)
NOTE: It is always recommended that you connect each ATS source to a Double Conversion
On-Line Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
3Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual
Internal Protection Measures
ATS units may include the following internal protection measures:
Input relays in every
model open when their
source is
disconnected to help
prevent electric
backfeed from one
input cord into another
(ATS 1).
Two or four
non-replaceable fuses
(depending on the
model) help to protect
the ATS from short
circuits (ATS 2).
Some 2U models have
circuit breakers to
help protect against
bank overload (ATS
3).
The rack ATS does not include power surge protection. To help protect your ATS from external power
surges, it is always recommended that you connect each ATS source to a Double Conversion On-Line
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
How Switching Works
1. You configure the ATS to accept power that meets the needs of your equipment by adjusting the
following settings (see “Configuration Tab” on page 83 for more details).
Line VRMS: The ideal voltage for your equipment. Acceptable line voltages vary per ATS
model (see the specification sheet for your ATS model on www.apc.com).
Transfer limits: The maximum and minimum voltages the ATS will accept before switching
sources. Transfer limits are meant to allow for small, acceptable surges and drops in power.
The ATS should not operate near the upper transfer limit for long periods of time.
Transfer ranges: Pre-defined sets of transfer limits. You can configure up to three transfer
ranges, but you can enable only one transfer range at a time.
Sensitivity: How long the ATS waits to determine whether or not it will switch sources.
High sensitivity provides extra responsiveness for delicate equipment. Low sensitivity helps to
prevent excessive switching in cases of fluctuating power inputs.

Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual4
2. The ATS constantly monitors the quality and amount of power coming from sources A and B. If
one source begins to supply power that does not meet your settings, the ATS will disqualify that
source.
a. If the disqualified source is not in use, the ATS will generate an alarm to indicate that
redundancy has been lost.
b. If the disqualified source is in use, the ATS will switch to draw power from the other
available source.
If a preferred source is set, the ATS will wait 30 seconds to monitor that source. After 30 seconds,
if the preferred source becomes usable again, the ATS will switch back to the preferred source.
See how the switch happens in the illustration below.
NOTE: The entire switching process (described in step 2) takes a maximum of
10 milliseconds (ms) at high sensitivity, and 12 ms at low sensitivity. (This applies to both 50 Hz
and 60 Hz sources.)

Attached Equipment
Source A
Source B
Attached Equipment
Source A is providing power to the attached equipment, while Source B is isolated from
the attached equipment.
Firmware detects that Source A is out of the user-specified transfer range. The input
power from Source A is removed by disengaging the relays. (This allows for
out-of-phase switching and significantly reduces the opportunity for relay welding.)
Source B relays are engaged; Source B provides power to the attached equipment.
5Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual
Types of User Accounts
The Rack ATS has various levels of access (Super User, Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User,
and Network-Only User), which are protected by user name and password requirements. Up to four
users are allowed to log on to the same Rack ATS simultaneously.
NOTE: You will be prompted to enter a new password the first time you connect to the device with the
Super User account. The Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User, and Network-Only user accounts
are disabled by default, and cannot be enabled until the Super User default password (apc) is changed.
An Administrator or the Super User can use all of the menus in the Web UI and all of the
commands in the CLI. Administrator user types can be deleted, but the Super User cannot
be deleted. The default user name and password for the Super User or an Administrator are
both apc.
NOTE: The Super User or an Administrator can manage another Administrator's account
(enable, disable, change password, etc).
A Device User has read and write access to device-related screens. Administrative functions like
Session Management under the Security menu and Firewall under Logs are unavailable.
A Read-Only User has access to the same menus as a Device User, but without the ability to
change configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to
configuration options are visible but disabled. The event and data logs display no button to clear
the log. The default user name for this account is readonly, and the default password is apc.
A Network-Only User can only log on using the Web UI and CLI (Telnet or SSH). A user with
network-only access has read/write permission to the network related menus only.
Watchdog Features
To detect internal problems and recover from unanticipated inputs, the Rack ATS uses internal, system-
wide watchdog mechanisms. When it restarts to recover from an internal problem, a Network Interface
Restarted event is recorded in the event log.
Network interface watchdog mechanism
The Rack ATS implements internal watchdog mechanisms to help protect itself from becoming
inaccessible over the network. For example, if the Rack ATS does not receive any network traffic for 9.5
minutes (either direct traffic, such as SNMP, or broadcast traffic, such as an Address Resolution Protocol
[ARP] request), it assumes that there is a problem with its network interface and restarts. The network
interface watchdog mechanism is only enabled on an ATS that discovers an active network interface
connection at start-up.
Resetting the network timer
To help ensure that the Rack ATS does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, the Rack ATS
attempts to contact the default gateway every 4.5 minutes. If the gateway is present, it responds to the
Rack ATS, and the response restarts the 9.5-minute timer. If your application does not require or have a
gateway, specify the IP address of a computer that is running on the network and is on the same subnet.
The network traffic of that computer should restart the 9.5-minute time frequently enough to prevent the
Rack ATS from restarting.
Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual6
Getting Started
To start using the Rack ATS:
1. Install the Rack ATS using the Installation and Quick Start on www.apc.com.
2. Apply power and connect to your network. Follow the directions in the Installation and Quick
Start.
3. Establish your network settings.
4. Begin using the Rack ATS with one of the following:
The front panel. See “Front Panel” on page 11.
NOTE: The front panel allows you to view Rack ATS settings, but not configure them.
The CLI. See “Command Line Interface” on page 17.
The Web UI. See “Web User Interface” on page 73.
Establish Network Settings
IPv4 Initial Setup
You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Rack ATS before it can operate on the network:
The IP address of the Rack ATS
The subnet mask of the Rack ATS
The IP address of the default gateway (only needed if you are going off segment)
NOTE: Do NOT use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so disables the
network connection of the Rack ATS. To enable the network connection again, you must log on using a
serial connection and reset the TCP/IP settings to their defaults.
For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at a Rack ATS,
see.“DHCP response options” on page 96
IPv6 Initial Setup
IPv6 network configuration provides flexibility to accommodate your requirements. IPv6 can be used
anywhere an IP address is entered on this interface. You can configure IPv6 using the CLI, the Web UI,
or DHCP.
TCP/IP Configuration Methods
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the Rack ATS:
Device IP Configuration Wizard (see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page).
BOOTP or DHCP server (see “DHCP and BOOTP configuration” on page 7).
Local computer (see “Local access to the CLI” on page 8).
Networked computer (see “Remote access to the CLI” on page 9).
.ini file utility
You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from a configured Rack ATS to an
unconfigured Rack ATS. For more information, see “Create and import settings with the config file” on
page 114.
7Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual
Device IP Configuration Wizard
The Device IP Configuration Wizard runs on Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows Server® 2003,
Windows Server 2012, and on 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows XP®, Windows Vista®, Windows
2008, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. The Device IP Configuration Wizard
supports cards that have firmware version 3.0.x or higher and is for IPv4 only.
To install the Device IP Configuration Wizard:
1. Go to www.apc.com.
2. Download the latest version of the Device IP Configuration Wizard.
3. Run the executable file (DeviceIPConfigurationWizard.exe).
NOTE: If you leave the Start a Web browser when finished option enabled, you can use apc
for both the user name and password to access the Rack ATS through your browser.
When Installed, the Device IP configuration Wizard is available through the Windows Start menu
options.
Configure TCP/IP settings with the Wizard
The Device IP Configuration Wizard can discover Rack ATS units that do not have an IP address
assigned. Once discovered, you can configure the IP address settings for the Network Management
Cards (NMCs).You can also search for devices already on the network by entering an IP range to define
the search. The Utility scans the IP addresses in the defined range and discovers Rack ATS units that
already have a DHCP-assigned IP address.
NOTE: For detailed information on the Utility, see FAQ article FA156064: go to www.apc.com, navigate
to Support > Resources & Tools > FAQS, then enter the article number in the search bar.
NOTE: To use the DHCP Option 12 (AOS 5.1.5 or higher), see FAQ article FA156110.
DHCP and BOOTP configuration
The default TCP/IP configuration setting, DHCP, assumes that a properly configured DHCP server is
available to provide TCP/IP settings to the Rack ATS. You can also configure the setting for BOOTP.
A user configuration (INI) file can function as a BOOTP or DHCP boot file. For more information, see
“Create and import settings with the config file” on page 114.
If neither of these servers is available, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 7.
BOOTP
For the Rack ATS to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it must find a properly
configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.
1. In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the Rack ATS’s MAC address, IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway, and, optionally, a bootup file name. Look for the MAC address
on the bottom of the Rack ATS.
2. When the Rack ATS reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
If you specified a bootup file name, the Rack ATS attempts to transfer that file from the
BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Rack ATS assumes all settings specified in the bootup
file.
If you did not specify a bootup file name, you can configure the other settings of the Rack ATS
remotely through its Web UI (see “Web User Interface” on page 73) or CLI (see “Remote
access to the CLI” on page 9) The default user name and password are apc for both
interfaces. To create a bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.
Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual8
DHCP
You can use an RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the
Rack ATS.
1. The Rack ATS sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself:
A Vendor Class Identifier (APC by default)
A Client Identifier (by default, the MAC address of the Rack ATS)
A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the application firmware installed on the
Rack ATS)
A Host Name (by default, apcXXYYZZ with XXYYZZ being the last six digits of the ATS serial
number). This is known as DHCP Option 12.
2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes all the settings that
the Rack ATS needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor
Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). The Rack ATS can be configured to ignore DHCP
offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following
hexadecimal format. (The Rack ATS does not require this cookie by default.)
Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43
The first byte (01) is the code.
The second byte (04) is the length.
The remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookie.
See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option.
NOTE: By selecting the Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address check
box in the Web UI, you can require the DHCP server to provide an “APC” cookie, which
supplies information to the Rack ATS.
For additional information on supported DHCP options, see “Configure TCP/IP and
communication settings for IPv4 and IPv6” on page 96.
Local access to the CLI
You can use a local computer to connect to the ATS and access the CLI.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the serial communication cable (940-0144A) to connect the selected port to the serial port on
the front panel of the ATS.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps,
8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Save the changes.
4. Press ENTER up to 3 times to display the User Name prompt.
5. Use apc for the user name and password.
6. See “Configure TCP/IP settings in the CLI” on page 9 to finish the configuration.
9Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual
Remote access to the CLI
From any computer on the same network as the Rack ATS, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP
address to the Rack ATS, and then use Telnet to access the CLI of that Rack ATS and configure the
other TCP/IP settings. SSH is enabled by default.
NOTE: After the IP address of the Rack ATS is configured, you can access the Rack ATS using Telnet or
SSH, without first using ARP and Ping but Telnet is required for initial CLI configuration. You can use the
console command to enable or disable Telnet or SSH. If needed, you can also use the Web UI to enable
or disable Telnet or SSH.
1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the Rack ATS and use the MAC address of the Rack ATS in
the ARP command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for a Rack ATS that
has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following commands:
Windows command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67
LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67
NOTE: The MAC address can be found on the bottom of the ATS.
2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For
example:
Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113
LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
3. Use Telnet to access the Rack ATS at its newly assigned IP address. (For example:
telnet 156.205.14.141) Use apc for both user name and password.
(See “Remote access to the CLI” on page 17)
See “Configure TCP/IP settings in the CLI” on page 9 to finish the configuration.
Configure TCP/IP settings in the CLI
1. Log on to the CLI. See “Log on to the CLI” on page 17.
2. Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
for the Rack ATS.
3. Use these three commands to configure network settings. (Text in italics indicates a variable.)
tcpip -i yourIPaddress
tcpip -s yourSubnetMask

Command Line Interface
You can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure, manage, and monitor the status of the Rack
ATS. Additionally, the CLI enables you to create scripts for automated operation. You can configure all
parameters of a Rack ATS (including those for which there are not specific CLI commands) by using the
CLI to transfer an INI file to the Rack ATS. The CLI uses XMODEM to perform the transfer. However, you
cannot read the current INI file through XMODEM.
Log on to the CLI
To access the CLI, you can use either a local (serial) connection or a remote (Telnet or SSH) connection
with a computer on the same network as the Rack ATS.
Local access to the CLI
For local access, use a computer that connects to the Rack ATS through the serial port to access the
CLI:
1. Select a serial port at the computer and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Connect the serial communication cable (940-0144A) from the selected serial port on the
computer to the Serial port on the Rack ATS.
3. Run a terminal program (e.g., HyperTerminal) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Press ENTER. At the prompts, enter your user name and password (by default, apc and apc for
the Super User). If this is your first log on, you will be prompted to change the default password.
Remote access to the CLI
You can choose to access the CLI through Telnet and/or SSH. SSH is enabled by default. You can use
the console command (see “console” on page 31) to enable or disable either Telnet or SSH. If needed,
you can also use the Web UI (see “Configure CLI access” on page 101) to enable or disable Telnet or
SSH.
Telnet for basic access
Telnet provides the basic security measure of authentication by user name and password, but not the
high-security benefits of encryption. Telnet is disabled by default.
To use Telnet to access the CLI:
1. At a command prompt, type telnet and the IP address for the Rack ATS (for example, telnet
139.225.6.133, when the Rack ATS uses the default Telnet port of 23), and press ENTER.
If the Rack ATS uses a non-default port number (from 5000 to 32768), you must include a colon
or a space, depending on your Telnet client, between the IP address (or DNS name) and the port
number. (These are commands for general usage; some clients do not allow you to specify the
port as an argument and some types of Linux might require extra commands).
2. Enter the user name and password. If you cannot remember your user name or password, see
“Recover from a Lost Password” on page 10.
SSH for high-security access
If you use the high security of SSL/TLS for the Web UI, use SSH for access to the CLI. SSH encrypts
user names, passwords, and transmitted data. The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are
the same whether you access the CLI through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure
SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your computer. See the Security Handbook on
www.apc.com for more information on configuring and using SSH. SSH is enabled by default.

Command Syntax
Example of a command that supports multiple options:
ftp [-p <port number>] [-S <enable | disable>]
In this example, the ftp command accepts the option -p, which defines the port number, and the option
-S, which enables or disables the FTP feature.
To change the FTP port number to 5010, and enable FTP:
1. Enter the ftp command, the port option, and the argument 5010:
ftp -p 5010
2. After the first command succeeds, enter the ftp command, the enable/disable option, and the
enable selection:
ftp -S enable
Example of a command that accepts mutually exclusive arguments for an option:
alarmcount -p [all | warning | critical]
In this example, the option -p accepts only three arguments: all warning, , or critical. For example,
to view the number of active critical alarms, type:
alarmcount -p critical
The command will fail if you type an argument that is not specified.
Item Description
- Options are preceded by a hyphen.
< > Definitions of options are enclosed in angle brackets.
For example: -dp <device password>
[ ] If a command accepts multiple options or an option accepts mutually exclusive arguments, the values
may be enclosed in brackets.
| A vertical line between items enclosed in brackets or angle brackets indicates that the items are
mutually exclusive. You must use one of the items.

Command Editing
The <backspace> key will delete the last character of the command string the user is currently entering
and is the only editing function available to the user during command entry.
History
The Rack ATS CLI implements a command history buffer, recalling the 10 previous commands. The user
can navigate backwards and forwards through entered commands using the <up arrow> and <down
arrow> keys respectively.
Auto Completion
The Rack ATS CLI supports command auto-completion. If a partial command is entered, then the <TAB>
key can be used to complete the command to the first available matched command. If such a match
exists, the command line shall be completed by the system.
Additional presses of the <TAB> key will select the next available command match. Once all available
commands have been scrolled through, the original partially entered command is displayed.
Delimiter
The Rack ATS CLI will use <space> (ASCII 0x20) as the delimiter between commands and arguments.
Extra white space between commands and arguments will be ignored.
Command responses will have all fields delimited with commas for efficient parsing.

Configure switching behavior
Path: Configuration > ATS > Frequency/Voltage.
Frequency Deviation: Frequency deviation beyond the set value will cause the Rack ATS to switch
power sources.
NOTE: If the frequency is at 50 Hz (see “View power measurements” on page 78) and the Sensitivity is
set to High, this value should be 3 or 5.
Line VRMS: Rated voltage for the Rack ATS (also called Nominal Input). VRMS limits and transfer
ranges are based on this value.
Sensitivity: Control how much power fluctuation the Rack ATS tolerates before switching to the
secondary power source. With a Low sensitivity, the Rack ATS waits 4 milliseconds (ms) before
switching to the alternate power source. (This can help prevent excessive switching if your source
voltage has excessive or frequent fluctuation.) With a High sensitivity, the Rack ATS waits 2 ms before
switching to the alternate power source.
NOTE: If the frequency is at 50 Hz and the Frequency Deviation is set to 10, Sensitivity should be set
to Low.
Limits and Transfer Range: The Transfer Range is the Line VRMS plus or minus a configured Limit
(Wide, Medium, or Narrow). The Transfer Range determines the switching behavior for the Rack ATS
based on source voltage: when the source voltage moves outside the Transfer Range, the Rack ATS
switches to the secondary power source.
VRMS Wide, Medium, and Narrow Limit: set configuration options for the Transfer Range.
Transfer Range: Decide whether the Rack ATS will switch power sources based on the Wide,
Medium, or Narrow VRMS Limit. The Transfer Range can only be set to one Limit at a time.
Example: A Rack ATS is set to the following configuration:
Line VRMS = 208,
VRMS Wide Limit = 10,
Transfer Range = Wide.
The ATS will switch sources when the voltage goes below 198 VRMS or above 218 VRMS (208 ±10
VRMS).
NOTE: The Voltage Transfer Range and Limit must remain within the absolute maximum ratings of the
Rack ATS: 85–265 VRMS. At any voltage below 85 VRMS or above 265 VRMS, the Rack ATS will
switch power sources regardless of configuration.
Click Apply to save your changes or Cancel to erase your changes.
DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
Do not operate the Rack ATS outside Rated Voltage (+/- 10%). Voltage limits and transfer
ranges represent software control of switching behavior, not input voltages for use.

Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual90
Manage remote user settings
Path: Configuration > Security > Remote Users > Authentication
APC by Schneider Electric supports the authentication and authorization functions of RADIUS (Remote
Access Dial-In User Service).
When a user accesses a Rack ATS that has RADIUS enabled, an authentication request is sent
to the RADIUS server to determine the users permission level.
RADIUS user names used with the Rack ATS are case-sensitive, and have a 64 byte maximum,
supporting up to 64 ASCII characters; less for multi-byte languages. Passwords with no
characters (blank passwords) are not allowed.
Specify how you want remote users to be authenticated at logon. Select one of the following:
Local Authentication Only: RADIUS is disabled. Local authentication is enabled.
RADIUS, then Local Authentication: RADIUS and local authentication are enabled.
Authentication is requested from the RADIUS server first. If the RADIUS server fails to respond,
local authentication is used.
RADIUS Only: RADIUS is enabled. Local authentication is disabled.
NOTE: If RADIUS Only is selected, and the RADIUS server is unavailable or improperly
configured, remote access is unavailable to all users. You must use a serial connection to the CLI
and change the access setting to local or radiusLocal to regain access. For example, the
command to change the access setting to local would be radius -a local.
For information about local authentication (not using the centralized authentication of a RADIUS server),
see the Security Handbook on www.apc.com.

Configure a RADIUS server
Path: Configuration > Security > Remote Users > RADIUS
Use this option to do the following:
List the RADIUS servers (a maximum of two) available to the Rack ATS and the Reply Timeout
period for each.
Select a server, and configure the parameters for authentication by a new RADIUS server.
Select a listed RADIUS server to display and modify its parameters.
Summary of the configuration procedure: You must configure your RADIUS server to work with the
Rack ATS. For examples of the RADIUS users file with Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) and an
example of an entry in the dictionary file on the RADIUS server, see the Security Handbook on
www.apc.com.
1. Add the IP address of the Rack ATS to the RADIUS server client list (file).
2. Users must be configured with Service-Type attributes unless Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs)
are defined. If no Service-Type attributes are configured, users will have read-only access (on the
Web UI only). See your RADIUS server documentation for information about the RADIUS users
file, and see the Security Handbook (www.apc.com) for an example.
3. VSAs can be used instead of the Service-Type attributes provided by the RADIUS server. VSAs
require a dictionary entry and a RADIUS users file. In the dictionary file, define names for
ATTRIBUTE and VALUE keywords, but not for numeric values. If you change numeric values,
RADIUS authentication and authorization will fail. VSAs take precedence over standard RADIUS
attributes.
Configuring a RADIUS server on UNIX ® with shadow passwords: If UNIX shadow password files
are used (/etc/passwd) with the RADIUS dictionary files, the following two methods can be used to
authenticate users:
If all UNIX users have administrative privileges, add the following to the RADIUS “user” file. To
allow only Device Users, change the APC-Service-Type to Device.
DEFAULTAuth-Type = System
APC-Service-Type = Admin
Add user names and attributes to the RADIUS “user” file, and verify the password against /etc/
passwd. The following example is for users bconners and thawk:
bconnersAuth-Type = System
APC-Service-Type = Admin
thawkAuth-Type = System
APC-Service-Type = Device
Supported RADIUS servers: FreeRADIUS v1.x and v2.x, and Microsoft Server 2008 and 2012
Network Policy Server (NPS) are supported. Other commonly available RADIUS applications may work
but may not have been fully tested
Setting Definition
RADIUS Server The server name or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) of the RADIUS server. Select a

For Auto-negotiation (the default), Ethernet devices negotiate to transmit at the highest possible
speed, but if the supported speeds of two devices are unmatched, the slower speed is used.
Alternatively, you can choose 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, each with the option of half-duplex
(communication in only one direction at a time) or full-duplex (communication in both directions
on the same channel simultaneously).
Setting Description
IPv6 Enable or disable IPv6 with this check box.
Manual
Configuration
Configure IPv6 manually by entering the IP address and the default gateway.
Auto
Configuration
When the Auto Configuration check box is selected, the system obtains addressing prefixes
from the router (if available). It uses those prefixes to automatically configure IPv6 addresses.
DHCPv6
Mode
Router Controlled: Selecting this option means that DHCPv6 is controlled by the Managed
(M) and Other (O) flags received in IPv6 router advertisements. When a router advertisement
is received, the ATS checks whether the M or the O flag is set. The NMC interprets the state of
the M (Managed Address Configuration Flag) and O (Other Stateful Configuration Flag) "bits"
for the following cases:
Neither is set: Indicates the local network has no DHCPv6 infrastructure. The ATS uses
router advertisements and manual configuration to get addresses that are not link-local and
other settings.
M, or M and O are set: In this situation, full DHCPv6 address configuration occurs. DHCPv6 is
used to obtain addresses AND other configuration settings. This is known as DHCPv6
stateful . Once the M flag has been received, the DHCPv6 address configuration stays in
effect until the interface in question has been closed. This is true even if subsequent router
advertisement packets are received in which the M flag is not set.
If an O flag is received first, then an M flag is received subsequently, the ATS performs full
address configuration upon receipt of the M flag
Only O is set: In this situation, the NMC sends a DHCPv6 Info-Request packet. DHCPv6 will
be used to configure “other” settings (such as location of DNS servers), but NOT to provide
addresses. This is known as DHCPv6 stateless.
Address and Other Information: With this radio box selected, DHCPv6 is used to obtain
addresses AND other configuration settings. This is known as DHCPv6 stateful.
Non-Address Information Only: With this radio box selected, DHCPv6 will be used to
configure "other" settings (such as location of DNS servers), but NOT to provide addresses.
This is known as DHCPv6 stateless.
Never: Select this to disable DHCPv6.
Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual98
Configure DNS
Path: Configuration > Network > DNS > Configuration
Use the options under Configuration to configure and test the Domain Name System (DNS):
Override Manual DNS Settings: When enabled, configuration data from other sources (typically
DHCP) takes precedence over the manual configurations set here.
Primary DNS Server or Secondary DNS Server: Select one of these to specify the IPv4 or IPv6
addresses of the primary and optional secondary DNS server. For the Rack ATS to send e-mail,
you must at least define the IP address of the primary DNS server.
The Rack ATS waits up to 15 seconds for a response from the primary DNS server or
secondary DNS server (if specified). If the Rack ATS does not receive a response within that
time, e-mail cannot be sent. Use DNS servers on the same segment as the Rack ATS or on a
nearby segment (but not across a wide-area network [WAN]).
Define the IP addresses of the DNS servers, then enter the DNS name of a computer on your
network to look up the IP address for that computer to verify correct operation.
System Name Synchronization: Allow the system name to be synchronized with the host name
so both fields automatically contain the same value.
NOTE: When enabling this feature, the system name identifier can no longer contain a space
character (since it will be synchronized to the host name field).
Host Name: Configure a host name here and a domain name in the Domain Name field. Users
can then enter a host name in any field in the NMC interface (except e-mail addresses) that
accepts a domain name.
Domain Name (IPv4/IPv6): Configure the domain name here only. In all other fields in the NMC
interface (except e-mail addresses) that accept domain names, the Rack ATS adds this domain
name when only a host name is entered.
To override all instances of the expansion of a specified host name by the addition of the
domain name, set the domain name field to its default, somedomain.com, or to 0.0.0.0.
To override the expansion of a specific host name entry, include a trailing period. The NMC
recognizes a host name with a trailing period (such as mySnmpServer.) as if it were a fully-
qualified domain name and does not append the domain name.
Domain Name (IPv6): Specify the IPv6 domain name here.
Test DNS configuration
Path: Configuration > Network > DNS > Test
Use this option to send a DNS query that tests the setup of your DNS servers by looking up the IP
address. View the result of a test in the Last Query Response field, or identify the value to be used for
the selected query type:
Query Type Selected Query Question to Use
by Host The URL name of the server
by FQDN The fully qualified domain name of the server, my_server .my_domain
by IP The IP address of the server
by MX The mail exchange address of the server

NOTE: If you install an invalid certificate, or if no certificate is loaded when you enable SSL/TLS, the
Rack ATS generates a default certificate, a process which delays access to the interface for up to one
minute. You can use the default certificate for basic encryption-based security measures, but a security
alert message displays whenever you log on.
Certificate Action:
Add or Replace: Enter or browse to the certificate file created with the Security Wizard.

Enable Telnet: Telnet transmits user names, passwords, and data without encryption. Telnet is disabled
by default.
Enable SSH: SSH transmits user names, passwords, and data in encrypted form, which helps to protect
against attempts to intercept, forge, or alter data during transmission. SSH is enabled by default.
Telnet Port: The Telnet port (23 by default) is used to communicate with the Rack ATS. You can change
the port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 for additional security. Users must then use a
colon (:) or a space, as required by your Telnet client program, to specify the non-default port. For
example, for port 5000 and an IP address of 152.214.12.114, your Telnet client requires one of the these
commands:
telnet 152.214.12.114:5000
telnet 152.214.12.114 5000
SSH Port: The SSH port (22 by default) is used to communicate with the Rack ATS. You can change the
port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 for additional security. See the documentation for
your SSH client for the command line format required to specify a non-default port.

Status indicates the status of the host key (private key):
SSH Disabled: No host key in use: When disabled, SSH cannot use a host key.
Generating: The Rack ATS is creating a host key because no valid host key was found.
Loading: A host key is being activated on the Rack ATS.
Valid: One of the following valid host keys is in the /ssh directory (the required location on the

A 1024-bit or 2048-bit host key created by the Security Wizard
A 2048-bit RSA host key generated by the Rack ATS
Certificate Action:
Add or Replace: Browse to and upload a host key file created by the Security Wizard.
To use the Security Wizard, see the Security Handbook, available at www.apc.com.
NOTE: To reduce the time required to enable SSH, create and upload a host key in advance. If
you enable SSH with no host key loaded, the Rack ATS takes up to one minute to create a host
key, and the SSH server is not accessible during that time.
Host Key Fingerprint: A fingerprint helps authenticate a server. If the Security Wizard is used to
generate the host key, it also generates the fingerprint, which is displayed here when SSH is
enabled and the host key is in use. When you first connect to the device using SSH, compare the
fingerprint presented by the SSH client to the fingerprint that the Security Wizard generated to
ensure that they match. (Almost all SSH clients display the fingerprint.)
Remove: Remove the current host key.
NOTE: To use SSH, you must have an SSH client installed. Most Linux and other UNIX platforms include
an SSH client, but Microsoft Windows operating systems do not. Clients are available from various
vendors.
SNMP options
All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMPv1 are transferred over the network as
plain text. If your network requires the high security of encryption, disable SNMPv1 access and use
SNMPv3 instead.
When using StruxureWare to manage a Rack ATS on the public network, you must have the same
version of SNMP (1 or 3) enabled on both the Rack ATS interface and the StruxureWare interface. Read
access will allow the StruxureWare to receive traps from the Rack ATS, but Write access is required
while you set the StruxureWare as a trap receiver.
For detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of your system, see the Security
Handbook, available at www.apc.com.

SNMPv1
NOTE: SNMPv1 is disabled by default. SNMPv2c is supported under SNMPv1 in this configuration.
Path: Configuration > Network > SNMPv1 > Access
Enable SNMPv1 Access: Enables SNMP version 1 as a method of communication with this device.
Path: Configuration > Network > SNMPv1 > Access Control
You can configure up to four access control entries to specify which Network Management Systems
(NMSs) have access to this device. The opening page for access control, by default, assigns one entry
to each of the four available SNMPv1 communities, but you can edit these settings to apply more than
one entry to any community to grant access by several dresses, host names, or specific IPv4 and IPv6 ad
IP address masks. To edit the access control settings for a community, select its community name.
If you leave the default access control entry unchanged for a community, that community has
access to this device from any location on the network.
If you configure multiple access control entries for one community name, the limit of four entries
requires that one or more of the other communities must have no access control entry. If no
access control entry is listed for a community, that community has no access to this device.
Community Name: The name that an NMS must use to access the community. The maximum length is
15 ASCII characters.
NMS IP/Host Name: The IPv4 or IPv6 address, IP address mask, or host name that controls access by
NMSs. A host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) allows access only by the NMS at
that location. IP addresses that contain 255 restrict access as follows:
149.225.12.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225.12 segment.
149.225.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225 segment.
149.255.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149 segment.
0.0.0.0 (the default) or 255.255.255.255: Access by any NMS on any segment.
Access Type: The actions an NMS can perform through the community.
Read: GETs only, at any time
Write: GETs at any time, and SETs when no user is logged onto the Web UI or CLI.
Write+: GETs and SETs at any time.
Disable: No GETs or SETs at any time.
103Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual
SNMPv3
For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to identify users. An
SNMPv3 user must have a user profile assigned in the MIB software program to perform GETs and
SETs, browse the MIB, and receive traps.
NOTE: To use SNMPv3, you must have an MIB program that supports SNMPv3.
Path: Configuration > Network > SNMPv3 > Access
SNMPv3 Access: Enables SNMPv3 as a method of communication with this device.
Path: Configuration > Network > SNMPv3 > User Profiles
By default, this page lists the settings of four user profiles configured with the user names apc snmp
profile1 through apc snmp profile4, and no authentication or privacy (no encryption). To edit the
following settings for a user profile, select a user name in the list.
User Name: The identifier of the user profile. SNMPv3 maps GETs, SETs, and traps to a user profile by
matching the user name of the profile to the user name in the data packet being transmitted. A user
name can have up to 32 ASCII characters.
Authentication Passphrase: A phrase of 15 to 32 ASCII characters that verifies that the NMS
communicating with this device through SNMPv3 is the NMS it claims to be, that the message has not
been changed during transmission, and that the message was communicated in a timely manner,
indicating that it was not delayed and that it was not copied and sent again later at an inappropriate time.
Privacy Passphrase: A phrase of 15 to 32 ASCII characters (hidden crypt.phrase, by default) that
increases the privacy of the data (by means of encryption) that an NMS is sending to this device or
receiving from this device through SNMPv3.
Authentication Protocol: The APC by Schneider Electric implementation of SNMPv3 supports SHA or
MD5 authentication. Authentication will not occur unless an authentication protocol is selected.
Privacy Protocol: The implementation of SNMPv3 supports AES or DES as the protocols for encrypting
and decrypting data. Privacy of transmitted data requires that a privacy protocol is selected and that a
privacy passphrase is provided in the request from the NMS. When a privacy protocol is enabled but the
NMS does not provide a privacy passphrase, the SNMP request is not encrypted.
NOTE: You cannot select the privacy protocol if no authentication protocol is selected.
Path: Configuration > Network > SNMPv3 > Access Control
You can configure up to four access control entries to specify which NMSs have access to this device.
The opening page for access control, by default, assigns one entry to each of the four user profiles, but
you can edit these settings to apply more than one entry to any user profile to grant access by several
specific IP addresses, host names, or IP address masks.
If you leave the default access control entry unchanged for a user profile, all NMSs using that
profile have access to this device.
If you configure multiple access entries for one user profile, the limit of four entries requires that
one or more of the other user profiles must have no access control entry. If no access control
entry is listed for a user profile, no NMS that uses that profile has any access to this device.
To edit the access control settings for a user profile, select its user name.
Access: Select the Enable check box to activate the access control specified by the parameters in this
access control entry.
User Name: From the drop-down list, select the user profile to which this access control entry will apply.
The choices available are the four user names that you configure on the user profiles page (see “Path:
Configuration > Network > SNMPv3 > User Profiles” on page 104).
Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual104
NMS IP/Host Name: The IP address, IP address mask, or host name that controls access by the NMS.
A host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) allows access only by the NMS at that
location. An IP address mask that contains 255 restricts access as follows:
149.225.12.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225.12 segment.
149.225.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225 segment.
149.255.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149 segment.
0.0.0.0 (the default) or 255.255.255.255: Access by any NMS on any segment.
Configure FTP server
Path: Configuration > Network > FTP Server
The FTP Server settings enable or disable access to the FTP server. FTP is disabled by default.
By default, the FTP server communicates with the ATS through TCP/IP port 21. The FTP server uses
both the specified port and the port one number lower than the specified port.
You can change the Port setting to the number of any unused port from 5001 to 32768 for added
security. Users must then use a colon (:) to specify the non-default port number.
For example, for port 5001 and IP address 152.214.12.114, the command would be
ftp 152.214.12.114:5001.
NOTE: FTP transfers files without encryption. For higher security, transfer files with Secure CoPy (SCP).
Secure SHell ( ) is enabled by default, and enables SCSSH P automatically. However, SCP will not allow
a file transfer until the Super User default password (apc) is changed. At any time that you want an ATS
to be accessible for management by StruxureWare Data Center Expert, FTP server access must be
enabled in the ATS interface.
NOTE: You can use FTP or SCP to configure and update the ATS with StruxureWare Data Center Expert
or EcoStruxure IT as long as the same protocol is enabled on both the ATS and StruxureWare or
EcoStruxure. See your StruxureWare Data Center Expert or EcoStruxure IT documentation for details.

Syslog notification
Indirect notification
Event log. If no direct notification is configured, users must check the log to determine which
events have occurred.
You can also log system performance data to use for device monitoring. See “Configure Logs”
on page 114 for information on how to configure and use this data logging option.
Queries (SNMP GETs).
For more information, see “SNMP options” on page 102. SNMP enables an NMS to perform
informational queries. For SNMPv1, which does not encrypt data before transmission,
configuring the most restrictive SNMP access type (READ) enables informational queries
without the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.

You can use the To Address setting of the recipients option to send e-mail to a text-based screen.
Path: Configuration > Notification > E-mail > Server
This screen lists your primary and secondary DNS servers and displays the following fields:
Outgoing Mail Configuration
From Address: The contents of the From field in e-mail messages sent by the Rack ATS:
In the format user@ [IP_address] (if an IP address is specified as Local SMTP Server)
In the format user@domain (if DNS is configured and the DNS name is specified as Local
SMTP Server) in the e-mail messages.
NOTE: The local SMTP server may require that you use a valid user account on the server for
this setting. See the server documentation.
SMTP Server: The IPv4/ IPv6 address or DNS name of the local SMTP server.
NOTE: This definition is required only when the SMTP server is set to Local.
Port: The SMTP port number, with a default of 25. Supported ports include 25, 465, 587, 2525,
and 5000 to 32768.
Authentication: Select Enable if the SMTP server requires authentication.
User Name, Password, and Confirm Password: If your mail server requires authentication,
enter your user name and password here. This performs a simple authentication, not SSL/TLS.
Advanced
Use SSL/TLS: Select when encryption is used.
Never: The SMTP server does neither requires nor supports encryption.
If Supported: The SMTP server advertises support for STARTTLS but doesn't require the
connection to be encrypted. The STARTTLS command is sent after the advertisement is
given.
Always: The SMTP server requires the STARTTLS command to be sent on connection to it.
Implicitly: The SMTP server only accepts connections that begin encrypted. No STARTTLS
message is sent to the server.
Require CA Root Certificate: This should only be enabled if the security policy of your
organization does not allow for implicit trust of SSL/TLS connections. If this is enabled, a valid
root CA certificate must be loaded onto the ATS for encrypted e-mails to be sent.
File Name: This field is dependent on the root CA certificates installed on the ATS and whether or
not a root CA certificate is required.
Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual108
Path: Configuration > Notification > E-mail > Recipients
Specify up to four e-mail recipients. Click Add Recipient, or select a name to configure the settings.
E-mail Recipient
Generation: Enable (default) or disable sending e-mail to the recipient.
To Address: The user name and domain name of the recipient. To use e-mail for paging, use the
e-mail address for the recipients pager gateway account (for example,
myacct100@skytel.com). The pager gateway will generate the page.
To bypass the DNS lookup of the IP address of the mail server, type the IP address in brackets
instead of the e-mail domain name, e.g., use jsmith@[xxx.xxx.x.xxx] instead of
jsmith@company.com. This is useful when DNS lookups are not working correctly.
Format: The long format contains name, location, contact, IP address, serial number of the
device, date and time, event code, and event description. The short format provides only the
event description.
Language: The language the e-mail notification will be sent in. This depends on the installed
language pack (if applicable).
Server: Select one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
Local: This is through the site-local SMTP server. This recommended setting uses a
site-local SMTP server to send e-mail. Choosing this setting limits delays and network outages
and retries sending e-mail for many hours. When choosing the Local setting you must also
enable forwarding at the SMTP server of your device and set up a special external e-mail
account to receive the forwarded e-mail. Check with your SMTP server administrator before
making these changes.
Recipient: This is the SMTP server of the recipient. The ATS performs an MX record look-up
on the recipients e-mail address and uses that as its SMTP server. The e-mail is only sent
once so it could easily be lost.
Custom: This setting enables each e-mail recipient to have its own server settings. These
settings are independent of the settings given under “SMTP Server” above.
Custom E-mail server Settings
From Address: The contents of the From field in e-mail messages sent by the Rack ATS:
In the format user@ [IP_address] (if an IP address is specified as Local SMTP Server)
In the format user@domain (if DNS is configured and the DNS name is specified as Local
SMTP Server) in the e-mail messages.
NOTE: The local SMTP server may require that you use a valid user account on the server for
this setting. See the server documentation.
SMTP Server: The IPv4/ IPv6 address or DNS name of the local SMTP server.
NOTE: This definition is required only when the SMTP server is set to Local.
Port: The SMTP port number, with a default of 25. Supported ports include 25, 465, 587, 2525,
and 5000 to 32768.
Authentication: Enable this if the SMTP server requires authentication.

SNMP traps
With Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, you can automatically get notifications for
significant ATS events. They are a useful tool for monitoring devices on your network.
Path: Configuration > Notification > SNMP Traps > Trap Receivers
The trap receivers are displayed by NMS IP/Host Name, (NMS stands for Network Management
System). You can configure up to six trap receivers. To configure a new trap receiver, click Add Trap
Receiver. To edit (or delete) a trap receiver, select its IP address/host name.
Trap Generation: Enable (the default) or disable trap generation for this trap receiver.
NMS IP/Host Name: The IPv4/ IPv6 address or host name of this trap receiver. The default, 0.0.0.0,
leaves the trap receiver undefined.
Language: Select a language from the drop-down list. This can differ from the Web UI and from other
trap receivers.
Select either SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 to specify the trap type. For an NMS to receive both types of traps,
you must separately configure two trap receivers for that NMS, one for each trap type.
SNMPv1: Settings for SNMPv1.
Community Name: The name used as an identifier when SNMPv1 traps are sent to this trap
receiver.
Authenticate Traps: When this option is enabled (the default), the NMS identified by the NMS IP/
Host Name setting will receive authentication traps (traps generated by invalid attempts to log on
to this device).
SNMPv3: Settings for SNMPv3.
User Name: Select the identifier of the user profile for this trap receiver.
If you delete a trap receiver, all notification settings configured under “Configuring event actions” for the
deleted trap receiver are set to their default values.
Path: Configuration > Notification > SNMP Traps > Test
Last Test Result: The result of the most recent SNMP trap test. A successful SNMP trap test verifies
only that a trap was sent; it does not verify that the trap was received by the selected trap receiver. A trap
test succeeds if all of the following are true:
The SNMP version (SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) configured for the selected trap receiver is enabled on
this device.
The trap receiver itself is enabled.
If a host name is selected for the To address, that host name can be mapped to an valid IP
address.
To: Select the IP address or host name to which a test SNMP trap will be sent. If no trap receiver is
configured, a link to the Trap Receiver configuration screen (snmp receiver) is displayed.

General Configuration
This menu contains miscellaneous configuration items including device identification, date and time,
exporting and importing your ATS configuration options, quick links, and data consolidation for
troubleshooting.
Configure identification
Path: Configuration > General > Identification
Host Name Synchronization: Allows the host name to be synchronized with the system name so both
fields automatically contain the same value.
NOTE: When enabling this feature, the system name identifier can no longer contain a space character
(since it will be synchronized to the host name field).
Name, Contact, and Location: Define the Name, the Contact (the person responsible for the device),
and the Location (the physical location), used by the SNMP agent of the ATS and StruxureWare.
These fields are used by the sysName, sysContact, and sysLocation object identifiers (OIDs) in the
SNMP agent of the Rack ATS. For more information about MIB-II OIDs, see the PowerNet ® SNMP
Management Information Base (MIB) Reference Guide, available at www.apc.com.
The Name and Location fields also identify the device when you register for the Remote Monitoring
Service.
System Message: When defined, a custom message will appear on the log on screen for all users.

Use FTP to retrieve the event.txt data.txt or files
1. At a command prompt, type and the IP address of the ATS, and press ftp ENTER.
If the Port setting for the FTP Server option (set through the Network menu of the
Administration tab) has been changed from its default (21), you must use the non-default value
in the FTP command. For Windows FTP clients, use the following command, including spaces.
(For some FTP clients, you must use a colon instead of a space between the IP address and the
port number.)
ftp>open ip_address port_number
To set a non-default port value to enhance security for the FTP Server, see “Configure FTP
server” on page 105. You can specify any port from 5001 to 32768.
2. Use the case-sensitive User Name and Password for Administrator or Device User to log on.
For Administrator, apc is the default for User Name and Password. For the Device User, the
defaults are device for User Name and apc for Password.
3. Use the get command to transmit the text of a log to your local drive.
ftp>get event.txt
or
ftp>get data.txt
4. Type quit at the ftp> prompt to exit from FTP.

How to Export Configuration Settings
Summary of the procedure
A Super User/Administrator can retrieve the .ini file of an ATS and export it to another ATS or to multiple
ATS units. The steps are below; see details in the sections following.
1. Configure an ATS with the desired settings, and retrieve the .ini file from that ATS.
2. Edit the file to change the TCP/IP settings at least.
3. Using a file transfer protocol supported by the ATS, transfer the .ini file to one or more other ATS
units. For a transfer to multiple ATS units, use an FTP or SCP script, or the .ini file utility. Each
receiving ATS uses the file to reconfigure its own settings and then deletes it.
NOTE: FTP is disabled by default. See “Configure FTP server” on page 105 to enable FTP.
NOTE: Managing Users via the config.ini - Users are no longer managed via the config.ini in any form.
Users are now managed via a separate file with the .csf extension. For further information on this topic,
refer to FAQ article FA176542: go to www.apc.com, navigate to Support > Resources & Tools >
FAQs, then enter the article number in the search bar.
Contents of the .ini file
The config.ini file you retrieve from an ATS contains the following:
Section headings and keywords (only those supported for the particular device from which you
retrieve the file): Section headings are category names enclosed in brackets ([ ]). Keywords,
under each section heading, are labels describing specific ATS settings. Each keyword is
followed by an equals sign and a value (either the default or a configured value).
The Override keyword: With its default value, this keyword helps prevent the exporting of one or
more keywords and their device-specific values. For example, in the [NetworkTCP/IP] section,
the default value for Override (the MAC address of the ATS) blocks the exporting of values for
the SystemIP, SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, and BootMode.

Detailed procedures
Retrieve .ini file
To set up and retrieve an .ini file:
1. If possible, use the interface of an ATS to configure it with the settings to export. (Directly editing
the .ini file risks introducing errors).
2. Use FTP or SCP to retrieve from the configured ATS:config.ini
a. Open a connection to the ATS using its IP address:
ftp> open ip_address
b. Log on using the Super User/Administrator user name and password.
c. Retrieve the config.ini file containing the settings of the ATS:
ftp> get config.ini
The file is written to the folder from which you launched the FTP.
To export configuration settings to multiple ATS units, see FAQ article FA156117:
go to www.apc.com, navigate to Support > Resources & Tools > FAQS, then enter
the article number in the search bar.
To use SCP, use the following command:
scp -c <cipher> username@hostname_or_ip_address:config.ini ./config.ini
Then enter the correct password.
NOTEs:
This SCP command is for OpenSSH. The command may differ depending on the SSH tool
used.
When using OpenSSH, <cipher> can be either aes256-cbc or 3des-cbc.
Edit .ini file
Edit the file carefully before you transfer it to other ATS units.
1. Use a text editor to make your changes.
Section headings, keywords, and pre-defined values are not case-sensitive, but string values
that you define are case-sensitive.
Use adjacent quotation marks to indicate no value. For example, LinkURL1="" indicates that
the URL is intentionally undefined.
Enclose in quotation marks any values that contain leading or trailing spaces or are already
enclosed in quotation marks.
To export scheduled events, configure the values directly in the .ini file.
To export a system time with the greatest accuracy, if the receiving ATS units can access a
Network Time Protocol server, configure enabled for NTPEnable:
NTPEnable=enabled
Alternatively, reduce transmis section as a sion time by exporting the [SystemDate/Time]
separate .ini file.
To add comments, start each comment line with a semicolon (;).
2. Copy the customized file to another file name in the same folder:
The file name can have up to 64 characters and must have the .ini suffix.
Retain the original customized file for future use. The file that you retain is the only record
of your comments.

Upgrading Firmware
Benefits of upgrading firmware
When you upgrade the firmware on the ATS:
You obtain the latest bug fixes and performance improvements.
New features become available for immediate use.
Keeping the firmware versions consistent across your network helps ensure that all ATS units support
the same features in the same manner. Here, upgrading simply means placing the module files on the
ATS; there is no installation required. Check regularly on www.apc.com for any new upgrades
Firmware module files
A firmware release has three modules, and they must be upgraded (that is, placed on the Rack ATS) in
the same order as shown in the table below. NOTE: It is possible to skip upgrading the bootmon file if it
is already the same version as the file located on the card
(Each module contains one or more Cyclical Redundancy Checks (CRCs) to help protect its data from
corruption).
The boot monitor module, the AOS, and the application file names share the same basic format:
apc_hardware-version_type_firmware-version.bin
apc: Indicates the context.
hardware-version:hw0n where n identifies the hardware version on which you can use this
file.
type: Identifies which module.
version: The version number of the file.
bin: Indicates that this is a binary file.
Order Module Description
1 Boot Monitor (bootmon) Roughly equivalent to the BIOS of a PC
2 APC Operating System (AOS) Can be considered the operating system of the ATS
3 Application Specific to the Rack ATS device type
Rack ATS AP44xx User Manual130
Verifying Upgrades and Updates
Verify the success or failure of the transfer
To verify whether a firmware upgrade succeeded, use the xferStatus command in the CLI to view the
last transfer result, or use an SNMP GET to the mfiletransferStatusLastTransferResult OID.
Last Transfer Result codes
Possible transfer errors include the TFTP or FTP server not being found, or the server refusing access,
the server not finding or not recognizing the transfer file, or a corrupt transfer file.
Verify the version numbers of installed firmware
Path: About > Network
Use the Web UI to verify the versions of the upgraded firmware modules. You could also use an SNMP
GET to the MIB II sysDescr OID. In the CLI, use the about command.
