Environmental Monitoring Unit — Installation and Quick Start
Install the Environmental Monitoring Unit
Installation guidelines
Install the unit
• If the unit is installed in an enclosed communications rack, the
recommended maximum ambient temperature is 45°C.
• Install the unit and the included probe so that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
• Install the unit and the included probe so that there is not an uneven
mechanical load.
• Follow the nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the
supply circuit. Do not overload the circuits. An overload condition
could put the over-current protection at risk and cause problems
with the supply wiring.
• Maintain reliable earth grounding of the unit. Give particular
consideration to any supply connections that do not directly
connect to the branch circuit.

Environmental Monitoring Unit — Installation and Quick Start
A-Link Connection
The Environmental Monitoring Unit can link to a variety of A-Link
compatible devices, including temperature and humidity probes and
Rack Air Removal Units (ARU). The Environmental Monitoring Unit
can support a maximum of two A-Link temperature and humidity probes
and two A-Link ARUs.
Note
Connection guidelines
A-Link is an APC proprietary CAN (Controller Area
Network) bus. A-Link compatible devices are not Ethernet
devices and cannot coexist on an Ethernet bus with other
networking devices, such as hubs and switches.
When connecting devices to the Environmental Monitoring Unit in a
cascading configuration, follow these guidelines:
• The total length of all cables used should not exceed 132 ft.
• The connection must include two APC terminators, connected to
the unused A-Link port on each device at the end of the
connection.
• Use CAT5 (or equivalent) cables for linking devices. Do not use a
crossover cable for connection.
When you apply power, the unit will not exceed 500
milliamps for more than one second.
Caution
DIP switch addresses
The total device current draw during normal operation of
the unit will not exceed 400 milliamps.
To connect to A-Link compatible devices, set the DIP switch addresses
on the individually monitored devices. Refer to the user’s manual
included with the individual products for specific configuration
information. However, here are some general address guidelines:
• Two identical devices cannot share the same address. For example,
if you are connecting two Temperature/Humidity Probes, assign
each probe a different address.
• Two different devices can share the same address. For example,
you can assign address #1 to a Temperature/Humidity Probe and an
ARU.
The Environmental Monitoring Unit only supports devices
addressed with a DIP switch setting of 1 or 2.

Relative humidity is defined by the amount of moisture in
the air and is expressed as "percent full". The temperature
of the air indicates the amount of moisture the air can hold,
as higher air temperature allows the air to retain more
moisture. Relative humidity is therefore lower when the
temperature is higher, although the same amount of
moisture is present. Relative humidity cannot exceed
100%, at which point additional moisture creates fog.
Environmental Monitoring Unit — Installation and Quick Start
Quick Configuration
Warning
Overview
Disregard the procedures in this section if you have APC
InfraStruXure Manager as part of your system. See the
InfraStruXure Manager’s documentation for more
information.
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the
Environmental Monitoring Unit can operate on a network:
• IP address of the unit
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
Note
TCP/IP configuration
methods
If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address
of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the
unit and that is usually running. The unit uses the
default gateway to test the network when traffic is
very light. See “Watchdog Features” in the
“Introduction” of the Environmental Monitoring Unit
User’s Guide for more information about the
watchdog role of the default gateway.
Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed
by the unit:
• Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Device IP Configuration
Wizard” on page 12.)
• BOOTP or DHCP server (See “BOOTP & DHCP configuration”
on page 12.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the control console” on
page 15.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the control console”
on page 15.)
Environmental Monitoring Unit — Installation and Quick Start
11
Quick Configuration
Device IP Configuration
Wizard
You can use the Device IP Configuration Wizard at a Windows NT® 4.0,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP computer to discover unconfigured
units and configure their basic TCP/IP settings.
See also
To configure one or more units, by exporting configuration
settings from a configured unit see “How to Export
Configuration Settings” in the User’s Guide on the Utility
CD.
1. Insert the Environmental Monitoring Unit Utility CD into a
computer on your network.
2. Launch the Device IP Configuration Wizard, when prompted, or, if
prompted to restart the computer, access the Wizard from the Start
menu after the computer has restarted.
3. Wait for the Wizard to discover the first unconfigured unit, then
follow the on-screen instructions.
Note
BOOTP & DHCP
configuration
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 unit through your browser.
The Boot Mode Setting, a TCP/IP option in the unit’s Network menu,
identifies how the TCP/IP settings will be defined. The possible settings
are Manual, DHCP only, BOOTP only, and DHCP & BOOTP (the
default setting).
Note
The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly
configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide
TCP/IP settings to units. If these servers are unavailable,
see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on this page, “Local
access to the control console” on page 15, or “Remote
access to the control console” on page 15 to configure the
needed TCP/IP settings.
With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the unit attempts to discover a
properly configured server. It first searches for a BOOTP server, then a
DHCP server, and repeats this pattern until it discovers a BOOTP or
DHCP server.
For more information, see “BOOTP” on page 13 or
“DHCP” on page 14.
Note
12
Environmental Monitoring Unit — Installation and Quick Start
Quick Configuration
BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure
the TCP/IP settings for the unit.
Note
The BOOTP only setting assumes that a properly
configured BOOTP server is available to provide TCP/IP
settings to APC Environmental Monitoring Units. If a
BOOTP server is unavailable, see “Device IP Configuration
Wizard” on page 12, “Local access to the control console”
on page 15, or “Remote access to the control console” on
page 15 to configure the TCP/IP settings.
1. Make sure that the BOOTP setting, a TCP/IP option in the unit’s
Network menu, is enabled.
2. Enter the unit’s MAC and IP addresses, the subnet mask and
default gateway settings, and an optional Bootup file name in the
BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server.
For the MAC address, look on the bottom of the unit or
on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.
See also
3. When the unit reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the
TCP/IP settings.
– If you specified a bootup file name, the unit attempts to transfer
that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The unit
assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
– If you did not specify a bootup file name, the unit can be
configured remotely by using the control console or the Web
interface: user name and password are both apc, by default.
To create a bootup file, see your BOOTP server
documentation.

13
Quick Configuration
DHCP. You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to
configure the TCP/IP settings for the unit.
See also
This section briefly summarizes the unit communication with
a DHCP server. For more detail about how a DHCP server is
used to configure the network settings for a unit, see “DHCP
Configuration” in the Environmental Management System
Users’ Guide.
1. A unit 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 unit’s MAC address value)
– A User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the unit’s
application firmware)
2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer
that includes all of the settings that the unit needs for network
communication. The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor Specific
Information option (DHCP option 43). By default, the unit will
ignore DHCP offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in the
Vendor Specific Information option using the following
hexidecimal format:
Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43
where
– 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. To disable the APC
cookie requirement, see “Local access to the control
console” on page 15.
To change the control console’s DHCP Cookie Is setting,
use the Advanced option in the TCP/IP menu. See “Remote
access to the control console” on page 15.
14
Environmental Monitoring Unit — Installation and Quick Start
Quick Configuration
Local access to the
control console
You can use a local computer that connects to the unit through the serial
port on the front of the unit to access the control console.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service
that uses that port.
2. Use the configuration cable (940-0103) to connect the selected port
to the serial port on the front panel of the unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) on your
computer and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, and save the changes.
4. Press ENTER to display the User Name prompt.
5. Use apc for the user name and password.
6. See “Control console” on page 16 to finish the configuration.
Remote access to the
control console
From any computer on the same subnet as the unit, you can use ARP and
Ping to assign an IP address to a unit, and then use Telnet to access that
unit’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings.
After a unit has its IP address configured, you can use
Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that unit.
Note
1. Use ARP to define an IP address for the unit, and use the unit’s
MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP
address of 156.205.14.141 for a unit 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
For the MAC address, look on the bottom of the unit
or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the
package.

Quick Configuration
2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined
by the ARP command. For the IP address defined in step 1, use one
of the following Ping commands:
– 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 unit at its newly assigned IP address. For
example:
telnet 156.205.14.141
4. Use apc for both User Name and Password.
5. See “Control console” on page 16 to finish the configuration.
Control console
After you log on at the control console, as described in “Local access to
the control console” on page 15 or “Remote access to the control
console” on page 15:
1. Choose Network from the Control Console menu.
2. Choose TCP/IP from the Network menu.
3. If you are not using a BOOTP or DHCP server to configure the
TCP/IP settings, select the Boot Mode menu. Select Manual boot
mode, and then press ESC to return to the TCP/IP menu. (Changes
will take effect when you log out.)
4. Set the System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway address
values.
5. Press CTRL-C to exit to the Control Console menu.
6. Log out (option 4 in the Control Console menu).

How to Access a Configured Unit
Overview
After the Environmental Monitoring Unit is running on your network,
you can use the interfaces summarized here to access the unit.
For more information on the interfaces, see the User’s
Guide.
See also
Web interface
As your browser, you can use Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 (and
higher) or Netscape® 4.0.8 (and higher, except Netscape 6.x) to access
the Management Card through its Web interface. Other commonly
available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by
APC.
To use the Web browser to configure and monitor Environmental
Monitoring Unit options or to view the event log, you can use either of
the following:
• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides
authentication by user name and password but no encryption).
• The more secure HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security
through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and encrypts user names,
passwords, and data being transmitted. It also provides
authentication of Network Management Cards by means of digital
certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your device on
the network:
1. Address the Environmental Monitoring Unit by its IP address or
DNS name (if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an
Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager).
3. Select and configure the type of security you want. (This option is
available only for Administrators.)

Telnet and SSH
See the chapter entitled “Security” in the User’s Guide for
information on choosing and setting up your network
security. Use the Web/SSL option of the Network menu to
enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols.
You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell
(SSH), depending on which is enabled. (An Administrator can enable
these access methods through the Telnet/SSH option of the Network
menu.) By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically
disables Telnet.

How to Access a Configured Unit
Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of
authentication by user name and password, but not the high-security
benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access an Environmental
Monitoring Unit’s control console from any computer on the same
subnet:
1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press
ENTER:
telnet address
As address, use the Environmental Monitoring Unit’s IP address
or DNS name (if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an
Administrator, or device and apc for a Device Manager).
SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for
the Web interface, use Secure SHell (SSH) for access to the control
console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted data.
The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether
you access the control console 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 User’s Guide for more information on configuring
and using SSH.
See also
SNMP
After you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser,
you can use that browser for SNMP access to the Environmental
Monitoring Unit. The default read community name is public; the
default read/write community name is private.
Note
If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security
authentication and encryption, disable SNMP. Allowing
SNMP access to the Environmental Monitoring Unit
compromises the high security you implement by choosing
SSL and SSH. To disable SNMP, you must be an
Administrator; use the SNMP option of the Network menu.
FTP and SCP
You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer
new firmware to the Environmental Monitoring Unit, or to access a copy
of the Environmental Monitoring Unit’s event logs. SCP provides the
higher security of encrypted data transmission and is enabled
automatically when you enable SSH.

How to Access a Configured Unit
Note
If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security
authentication and encryption, disable FTP. Allowing file
transfer to the Environmental Monitoring Unit through FTP
compromises the high security you implement by choosing
SSL and SSH. To disable FTP, you must be an
Administrator; use the FTP Server option of the Network
menu.
To access the Environmental Monitoring Unit through FTP or SCP, the
default user name and password are apc and apc for an Administrator,
or device and apc for a Device Manager. In the command line, use the
IP address of the unit.
See also
See the User’s Guide to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files
from the Network Management Card or to transfer firmware
files to the Network Management Card.

How to Recover From a Lost Password
You can use a local computer, a computer that connects to the unit or
other device through the serial port to access the control console.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service
that uses that port.
2. Connect the serial cable (940-0103) to the selected port on the
computer and to the configuration port at the unit:
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®) on your
computer and configure the selected port as follows:
– 9600 bps
– 8 data bits
– no parity
– 1 stop bit
– no flow control.
4. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name
prompt. If you are unable to display the User Name prompt, verify
the following:
– The serial port is not in use by another application.
– The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.
– The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.
5. Press the Reset button. The Status LED will flash alternately
orange and green. Press the Reset button a second time
immediately while the LED is flashing to reset the user name and
password to their defaults temporarily.
6. Press ENTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the User
Name prompt, then use the default, apc, for the user name and
password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds to log on after the
User Name prompt is redisplayed, you must repeat step 5 and log
on again.)
7. From the Control Console menu, select System, then User
Manager.
8. Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password
settings, both of which are now defined as apc.
9. Press CTRL-C, log off, reconnect any serial cable you disconnected,
and restart any service you disabled.
