Compressor Oil Charge
▲WARNING
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT OR PERSONNEL
All work must be performed by Schneider Electric qualified personnel.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Oil Charging Procedure
NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
Do not charge the compressor with too much oil, or compressor damage could result. The only way to drain oil from the compressor is to remove the compressor from the equipment, which cannot be done when the equipment is in the row.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTICE
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
Be careful not to charge more oil than is necessary. Excessive oil in the system may cause system damage, including the following:
- Failure of valves and pistons due to oil slugging.
- Excessive oil carryover.
- Loss of evaporator performance due to oil level build-up in the low-pressure side of the system.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
- Prepare to add oil:
a. Use a new sealed oil can and a manual oil pump. The pump hose must be sized for 1/4 in. flare fittings and must include a valve depressor at its end, which will open the valve on the suction port of the compressor.
b. Use high quality polyolester (POE) type 160SZ oil or equivalent.
- Purge the pump and hose:
a. Ensure that the oil pump is clean. Insert the pump in the oil container and make sure that the container is open to the atmosphere for as short a period of time as possible. When available, use a plug adapter kit to further reduce the exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
b. Bleed all air from the pump and hose with a few strokes of the pump. Purging the pump removes the moisture-saturated oil left inside the hose from previous usage.
c. Connect the hose to the suction port of the compressor immediately after purging to avoid moisture contamination.
-
While the equipment is running, charge 0.44 l (15 oz.) POE oil through the suction port. Pump the oil very slowly. (This is to ensure the oil separator is functioning properly.)
-
Other than the amount required for the oil separator, no additional oil should be required.
Let the compressor run at full capacity for at least one hour and check the oil level in the oil sight glass. The level should be between 1/4 and 3/4 full, or within the limit shown on the oil level sticker. If the oil is not within the acceptable limit, check the oil return line for restrictions. When oil is flowing properly, the oil return line should feel warm.
NOTE: Dispose of the oil waste appropriately.

Control the Environment
The primary function of the cooling unit is to cool air from the hot aisle and deliver it to the cold aisle at the temperature setpoint. The control strategies employed by the cooling unit depend upon the deployment strategy of the cooling group.
In an InRow environment, the cooling unit supplies constant-temperature supply air to the common cold aisle. The fan speed is modulated to ensure that the desired volume of air reaches the IT equipment. The fan speed is determined by the difference between the cooling setpoint and the maximum rack air inlet temperature.
In a HACS or RACS environment, the cooling unit neutralizes the heat accumulated in the common hot aisle and expels it back into the surrounding environmental space while maintaining the desired temperature in the cold aisle.
In a CACS environment, the cooling unit supplies constant temperature supply air to the enclosed cold aisle. The fan speed is modulated to ensure that the required volume of air reaches the IT equipment.
How the Modes of Operation Work
Path: Main > Configuration > Service > Configuration
- Cool: The cooling unit uses a direct expansion coil and a variable speed compressor to modulate refrigerant flow through the coil, and a set of fans to control airflow through the coil. The cooling output is determined by the difference between the supply setpoint and the supply air temperature of the cooling unit.
The airflow control is varied based on configuration.
— In-Row: The fan speed is controlled by comparing the rack inlet temperature to the cooling setpoint. As the rack temperature increases compared to the cooling setpoint the fans increase output to maintain the setpoint. As rack inlet temperature decreases compared to the cooling setpoint the fans decrease output to maintain the setpoint.
— RACS/HACS: When Active Flow Controller (AFC) devices are present, the controller utilizes differential pressure data supplied by the AFC(s) to supply the correct amount of airflow to the IT load. When AFC devices are not present, the fan speed is controlled by the fan speed preference setting. The fan speed can be selected based on the temperature differential across the cooling unit. As return temperatures deviate from the fan speed preference setting, the fan speed increases to bring the temperature difference back down to the setpoint or decreases fan output to increase the unit temperature differential. By maintaining the desired temperature differential, the system matches the airflow requirements of the load.
— CACS: When AFC devices are present, the controller utilizes differential pressure data supplied by the AFC(s) to supply the correct amount of airflow to the IT load. When AFC devices are not present, the evaporator fan speed is controlled by comparing the rack inlet temperature to the cooling setpoint. As the rack temperature increases compared to the cooling setpoint, the fans increase output to maintain the setpoint. As rack temperature decreases compared to the cooling setpoint the fans decrease output to maintain the setpoint.
The cooling unit is equipped with compressor cycling control that tries to minimize the number of times the compressor cycles on and off. The compressor will cycle off when the supply air temperature drops below 13^ C ( 55.4^ F) whether or not the minimum compressor on time of three minutes has elapsed. Once off, the compressor will not normally cycle on until the supply temperature reaches its setpoint and the minimum off time of two minutes has elapsed. However, if the rack inlet temperature reaches 25^ C ( 78^ F), the compressor will cycle on regardless of whether the minimum off time has elapsed (InRow and CACS only).
Compressor cycles are monitored over a seven-day period. If the number of cycles average more than 12 per hour over that period, the Excessive Compressor Cycling alarm is set.

See Supply Air and Return Air for more information.
- Humidify (ACRD60xP): The cooling unit contains an electric humidifier that injects steam into the treated air if the return air dew point is below the dew point setpoint. The humidification output is determined by the difference between the humidify setpoint and the cooling unit return air dew point (with humidification output increasing as the return air dew point decreases).
- Dehumidify (ACRD60xP): The cooling unit actively removes humidity from the air passing through the cooling unit. The cooling unit dehumidifies if the return air dew point is above the dehumidify dew point setpoint and the cooling unit cooling demand is being met. The dehumidification output is determined by the difference between the dehumidify dew point setpoint and the cooling unit return air dew point.
- Reheat (ACRD60xP): When enabled, reheat is used as needed to provide stable cooling at a lower heat load than is possible with cooling alone. Reheat increases the heat load (up to 4 kW) to the cooling controller which allows the compressor to avoid cycling off. The return air temperature may be low while the unit is dehumidifying or if data center equipment is off and the environment is relatively cold. Reheat output is determined by the difference between the reheat setpoint and the cooling unit return air temperature (the reheat output increases as the return air temperature decreases).
- Heat assist (ACRD60xP): Enabling heat assist in conjunction with reheat increases the reheat output when the compressor speed approaches its minimum cooling output. Without this additional heat load, the compressor cycles off, and will not return to service until its minimum off time has expired. The reheat output changes as needed to provide the minimum air temperature needed to keep the compressor from cycling off. If the heat load is low enough the compressor will cycle off, but this occurs at a lower heat load than if heat assist (or reheat) were disabled.
Heat assist improves the performance of the dehumidification function by allowing the coils to stay colder than is needed for supply air, which increases condensation.
Setpoints
A setpoint is the target value that a cooling group tries to maintain in the rack. The default setpoints are appropriate for most cooling applications.
Path: Main > Configuration > Group > Cooling
- Cool Setpoint: Set the temperature that the cooling group should maintain. The setpoint must be within 18.0 - 32.2 °C (64.4 - 90.0°F).
- Supply Air Setpoint: The setpoint must be within 15.0–30.2°C (59.0–86.4°F). The Supply Air Setpoint will be the required temperature of the air expelled into the surrounding environment.
- Air Flow Control: When Automatic is selected, the unit operates based on measured demand.
— Manual/Automatic
- Fan Speed Preference: Set the fan speed preference that will produce the desired temperature difference (DT). Each fan speed provides an approximate DT between the supply air from the cooling unit and the air returned from the rack.
| HACS/RACS Mode Fan Speeds | |
| Speed Range Desired Temperature (Automatic Mode) | |
| Low 16.7°C (30°F) | |
| Med-Low 13.9°C (25°F) | |
| Med 11.1°C (20°F) | |
| Med-High 8.3°C (15°F) | |
| High 5.6°C (10°F) | |
NOTE: The cooling group will automatically override this fan speed setting and adjust the fan speed to provide optimum cooling for the environment as needed.
• Maximum Fan Speed: The maximum fan speed of the Group. The default is 100%, and is adjustable to 60%.
- Run-Time Balancing Enable: When set to Enable, the system maintains similar run-times between units in the group. When the difference between the runtime hours of the cooling units in the system exceeds 72 hours, the system will automatically exchange modes between the longest running primary unit and the backup unit with equal or greater capability if available with the least runtime hours.
NOTE: The runtime balancing cap is not adjustable. Runtime hours are hours that the cooling unit is actually operating and NOT 72 consecutive hours (three days) of time.
- Load Assist Enable: When set to Enable, provides extra capacity via a backup cooling unit in the event that a primary unit is unable to service the demand. When the assistance is no longer needed, the unit will return to the backup state.
Path: Main > Configuration > Group > Reheat
- Reheat Setpoint: The Target value for air leaving the cooling unit. This setting must be at least 2^ (1.1°C) below the Supply Air Setpoint. (10.0-18.0°C (50.0-64.4°F)).
Path: Main > Configuration > Group > Humidity
The setpoints are the target values that the cooling group tries to maintain in the rack. The default setpoints are appropriate for most cooling applications:
- Humidify Setpoint: The target value for the relative humidity of conditioned air, as a percentage. The Humidify Setpoint must be at least 5% RH below the Dehumidify Setpoint. (20.0–50.0% RH)
- Humidify Sensitivity Band: Set the percentage of relative humidity below the Humidify Setpoint that will make the humidifier operate at full capacity.
- Dehumidify Setpoint: The target value for the relative humidity of conditioned air, as a percentage. The Humidify Setpoint must be at least 5% RH below the Dehumidify Setpoint. (35.0–80.0% RH)
- Dehumidify Deadband: The allowable percentage of relative humidity below the Dehumidify Setpoint before dehumidification ceases. (2.0–10.0%)
PID Settings
Path: Main > Configuration > Service > PID
The Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID) loop controls the output of the fans.
NOTE: This procedure is to be performed by Schneider Electric qualified personnel only. Improperly set PID controls could result in equipment damage.
- Cool Gain ‘P’: The proportional multiplier (gain) for this mode. The proportional multiplier adjusts for the difference (error) between the measured value and the setpoint.
- Cool Reset Rate 'I': The integral multiplier (reset rate) for this mode. The integral multiplier adjusts for error measurement and the amount of time that the error has existed. The integral multiplier adds to or subtracts from the output in small increments to correct for the offset error caused by the proportional contribution.
- Cool Derivative ‘D’: The derivative multiplier (derivative) for this mode. The derivative multiplier adjusts the output for rapid changes in the error, correcting for the rate of change of the error over time.
- Reheat Gain 'P': The proportional multiplier (gain) for this mode. The proportional multiplier adjusts for the difference (error) between the measured value and the setpoint.
- Reheat Reset Rate 'I': The integral multiplier (reset rate) for this mode. The integral multiplier adjusts for error measurement and the amount of time that the error has existed. The integral multiplier adds to or subtracts from the output in small increments to correct for the offset error caused by the proportional contribution.

- Dehumidifying Reset Rate 'I': The integral multiplier (reset rate) for this mode. The integral multiplier adjusts for error measurement and the amount of time that the error has existed. The integral multiplier adds to or subtracts from the output in small increments to correct for the offset error caused by the proportional contribution.
- Dehumidifying Derivative ‘D’: The derivative multiplier (derivative) for this mode. The derivative multiplier adjusts the output for rapid changes in the error, correcting for the rate of change of the error over time.
- Reset PID Coefficients: Reset the coefficients to the default settings.
Tune the PID Loop
Tune the PID loop to optimize the performance of the cooling group.
NOTE: This procedure is to be performed by Schneider Electric qualified personnel only. The PID loop must be tuned after the equipment in the room is installed and running. The loop should be tuned periodically to account for changes in the room load.
- Adjust the integral and derivative constants to zero and the proportional constant to 1.0.
- Set the temperature setpoint value and start the cooling group.
- When the temperature reaches a stable value, increase the proportional constant by 0.5. If the temperature does not respond to this change, adjust the setpoint.
- Repeat step 3 until the temperature value starts to oscillate and the peak amplitude of the oscillations is constant.
- Note the time, in minutes, between the peaks of the oscillations. This is the Ultimate Period, B.
- Note the value of the proportional constant. This is the Ultimate Gain, G
- Compute the PID constants using the table below. Use the equations for that control method in the row to compute the values for each constant.
- Set each constant according to these calculations.
Control Method Proportional Integral Derivative
| P | 0.5 * GU | — | — |
| P+I | 0.45 * GU | 0.54 * G/PU | — |
| P+I+D | 0.6 * G | 1.2*GU/PU | 0.075 * G*PU |
You may need to further tune the PID loop in the following ways to account for changes in the room load.
| Loop Behavior | PID Tuning Correction |
| Slow response to temperature changes | Increase the proportional multiplier or increase the derivative multiplier. |
| Overcooling/undercooling after changes in the room load or changes in setpoint | Increase the derivative or the proportional multiplier. |
| Environmental temperature never reaches the setpoint | Increase the integral multiplier. |
| Overcooling/undercooling on constant room load | Decrease the integral multiplier. |

Path: Main > About > Network
IPv4 Configuration: If IPv4 is used, this section will display IPv4 information.
- Enabled: Identifies whether the specified network is enabled or not.
- Mode: Identifies how the IP address is obtained.
- IP Address: The IP address of the unit.
- Subnet Mask: The subnet mask for the sub-network.
- Default Gateway: The default gateway address used by the network.
IPv6 Configuration: If IPv6 is used, this section will display IPv6 information.
Press Addresses to view all assigned IPv6 addresses.
- Enabled: Identifies whether the specified network is enabled or not.
- Auto Configuration: Displays Yes if the IP address is assigned automatically.
- Manual Configuration: Displays Yes if the IP address is assigned manually.
- DHCPv6 Mode: The DHCPv6 mode.
Router Controlled: DHCPv6 is controlled by the M (Managed Address Configuration Flag) and O (Other Stateful Configuration Flag) flags received in IPv6 Router Advertisements. When a router advertisement is received, the network management card (NMC) checks whether the M and O flags are set. The NMC interprets the state of the M and O "bits" for the following cases:
- Neither is set: Indicates local network has no DHCPv6 infrastructure. The NMC uses Router Advertisements and/or manual configuration to get non-link-local addresses 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, 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 NMC 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 is 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: DHCPv6 is used to obtain addresses AND other configuration settings. This is known as DHCPv6 stateful.
- Non-Address and Information Only: DHCPv6 is used to configure “other” settings (such as locations of DNS servers), but NOT to provide addresses. This is known as DHCPv6 stateless.

Network Management Card
Quick Configuration
The unit is shipped with a Network Management Card that enables the unit to be managed over a network. Configure the Network Management Card to control this unit through a network.
Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Network Management Card can operate on a network:
• IP address of the Network Management Card
- Subnet mask
- Default gateway
NOTE: Never use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for the Network Management Card. Doing so will disable the card and will require you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local serial login.
NOTE: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same subnet as the Network Management Card and that is usually running. The Network Management Card uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.

See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the User Manual or Online Guide for more information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.
TCP/IP Configuration Methods
Use one of the following methods to define the basic TCP/IP settings needed by the Network Management Card:
- Device IP Configuration Wizard (See Device IP Configuration Wizard, page 51)
- BOOTP or DHCP server (See BOOTP and DHCP configuration, page 52)
• Networked computer - Remote Access to the Command Line Interface (CLI), page 53.
- Local Access to the Command Line Interface (CLI), page 54.
Device IP Configuration Wizard
The Device IP Configuration Wizard is used to discover and configure Network Management Cards that do not have IP addresses assigned. The Device IP Configuration Wizard runs on Microsoft Windows® 2000, Windows Server® 2003, WindowsServer® 2012, and on 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7, and Windows 8 operating systems.
The Device IP Configuration Wizard supports cards that have firmware version 3.0.x or higher and is for IPv4 only.
NOTE: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover Network Management Cards that are not configured.

To configure one or more network management cards from a user configuration file, see the User's Guide.
-
Enable SNMPv1 on your device and set the Community Name to public.
-
Download the Device IP Configuration Wizard from http://www.apc.com/tools/download.
-
Install and run the Device IP Configuration Wizard.
-
Follow the onscreen instructions.
NOTE: If you leave the option Start a Web browser when finished enabled, you can use apc (the default) for both the user name and password.
NOTE: When the IP address settings of your device are configured, to access the device in a Web browser via the wizard, update the URL from http to https.
.ini File Utility
You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured Network Management Cards to one or more unconfigured Network Management Cards.
BOOTP and DHCP configuration
The default TCP/IP Configuration, DHCP, assumes that a properly configured DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to Network Management Cards. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP, or BOOTP.

If neither a DHCP nor BOOTP server is available, see Device IP Configuration Wizard, page 51 or Remote Access to the Command Line Interface (CLI), page 53 to configure the TCP/IP settings.
BOOTP
For the Network Management Card to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it must find a properly-configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.
- In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the MAC address of the Network Management Card, and the IP addresses of the subnet mask and default gateway, and an optional bootup file name.
NOTE: Look on the nameplate of the unit for the MAC address. The MAC address is also available on the display interface at Main > About > Display > Device.
- When the Network Management Card reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
- If you specified a bootup file name, the Network Management Card attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Network Management Card takes on all settings specified in the bootup file.
- If you did not specify a bootup file name, the Network Management Card can be configured remotely by using the CLI or the Web interface. User name and password are both apc, by default.

To create the bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.
DHCP
You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Network Management Card

For more details on how a DHCP can configure the network settings for a Network Management Card, see DHCP Configuration in the InRow Chilled Water Air Conditioners Installation User's Guide.
-
The Network Management Card sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself:
-
Vendor Class Identifier (by default, APC)
- Client Identifier (by default, the MAC address of the Network Management Card)
-
User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the application firmware installed on the Network Management Card)
-
A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes all of the settings that the Network Management Card needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the Vendor Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). If configured to do so, the Network Management Card will ignore DHCP offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the following hexadecimal 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 (not required by default)

See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option.
To change the command line interface (CLI) DHCP Cookie Is setting, use the Advanced option in the TCP/IP menu.

See Remote Access to the Command Line Interface (CLI), page 53.
Remote Access to the Command Line Interface (CLI)
From any computer on the same network as the Network Management Card, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to the Network Management Card and then use Telnet to access the CLI of that Network Management Card and configure the other TCP/IP settings.
NOTE: After a Network Management Card has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that Network Management Card.
- Use the MAC address of the Network Management Card in the ARP command to define an IP address for the Network Management Card. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for a Network Management Card that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one the following commands:
NOTE: Look on the nameplate of the unit for the MAC address. The MAC address is also available on the display interface at Main > About > Display > Device.
- 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 -
Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the AF command. For the IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands:
-
Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -1 113 - LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
- Use Telnet to access the Network Management Card at its newly assigned IP address. For example,
telnet 156.205.14.141
-
Use apc for both the user name and password.
-
Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Network Management Card.
-
Use these three commands to configure network settings (text in italics indicates a variable):
a. tcpip -i yourIPaddress
b. tcpip -s yourSubnetMask
c. tcpip -g yourDefaultGateway
For each variable, enter a numeric value with the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
For example, to set a system IP address of 156.205.14.141, enter the following command and press ENTER:
tcpip -i 156.205.14.141
- Type reboot. The Network Management Card restarts to apply the changes.
Local Access to the Command Line Interface (CLI)
You can use a computer connected to the serial port on the front of the display to access the CLI.
-
Select a serial port on the local computer and disable any service that uses that port.
-
Use the provided serial cable (part number: 940-0299) to connect the selected serial port to the serial on the front of the display.
-
Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®, TeraTerm, or PuTTY) and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
-
Save the changes.
-
Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt.
-
Use apc for the user name and password.
-
Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Network Management Card.
-
Use these three commands to configure network settings (text in italics indicates a variable):
a. tcpip -i yourIPaddress
b. tcpip -s yourSubnetMask
c. tcpip -g yourDefaultGateway
For each variable, enter a numeric value with the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. For example, to set a system IP address of 156.205.14.141, enter the following command and press ENTER:
tcpip -i 156.205.14.141
- Type reboot. The Network Management Card restarts to apply the changes.
Access a Configured Unit
Overview
After the unit is running on your network, you can access the configured cooling unit through the following interfaces:
- Web interface
- Telnet/SSH
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- FTP/SCP
- Modbus

For more information on the interfaces, see the Online Guide.
Web Interface
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer ^® 7.x or higher (on Windows operating systems only), or Mozilla Firefox ^® 3.0.6 or higher (on all operating systems) to access the cooling unit through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by Schneider Electric.
You can use either of the following protocols when you use the Web browser to configure display interface options or to view the event log:
- The HTTP protocol (disabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and password but no encryption.
- The HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), encrypts user names, passwords, and data being transmitted, and authenticates the Network Management Card by means of digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your cooling unit on the network,
- Enter the IP address or DNS name of the cooling unit into a Web browser.
- Enter the user name and password (both are apc by default).
- To enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols, use Main >Configuration > Network.

For more information on selecting and configuring network security, see the UPS Network Management Card Security Handbook, available on www.schneider-electric.com: search for “UPS Network Management Cards.”
Telnet and SSH
You can access the control console through Telnet and/or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled. To enable these access methods from the Web UI, select Configuration > Network > Console > Access. By default, Telnet is disabled. Telnet and SSH can be enabled simultaneously.
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 the Network Management Card control console from any computer on the same network,
- Enable Telnet via Web UI.
- At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press ENTER:
telnet address
As address, use the Network Management Card IP address or DNS name (if configured).
- Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User).
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 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 Online Guide for more information on configuring and using SSH.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMPv1 Only
After you add the latest version of PowerMB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that browser to access the device. All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain text.
SNMPv3 Only
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. The default settings are no authentication and no privacy.
NOTE: To use SNMPv3, you must have an MIB program that supports SNMPv3, and SNMPv3 must be configured correctly in the Network Management Card.
The device supports SHA or MD5 authentication and V or DES encryption.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv3
To use StruxureWare Data Center Expert to manage the device on the public network of StruxureWare system, you must have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit interface. Read access allows devices to receive traps from the unit. Write access is required while you set the device as a trap receiver.
To enable or disable SNMP access, you must be an Administrator. Select Administration > Network and select the access option under SNMPv1 or SNMPv3.
FTP/SCP
You can use FTP (disabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer downloaded firmware to the Network Management Card or to access a copy of the device event or data logs. SCP provides the higher security of encrypted data transmission and is enabled automatically when you enable SSH. FTP and SCP can be enabled simultaneously.
To access the Network Management Card through FTP or SCP, the default user name and password are apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User. In the command line, use the IP address of the unit.
NOTE: If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable FTP. To disable FTP, you must be an Administrator. Go to Main > Configuration > Network to enable FTP.

In the User Manual, see the following sections:
- To transfer firmware, see "File Transfers."
- To retrieve a copy of the event or data log, see "How to Use FTP or SCP to Retrieve Log Files."
Modbus
Modbus lets you view the Network Management Card through the interface of your building management system.
The Modbus RTU interface supports 2-wire RS-485, 4-wire RS-485, plus ground MODBUS TCP.
NOTE: Modbus can be configured to run at either 9600 or 19200 bps. It is already configured for 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit: parity is changeable but data bits and stop bits are not.

To access the Modbus Register Map, go to the Schneider Electric website, www.schneider-electric.com, and search for “Modbus Register Map.”
BACnet Settings
Path: Main > Configuration > Network > BACnet
Use the BACnet options to configure your unit to use the BACnet protocol and to make data available to building automation and control networks.
BACnet Configuration
Use this section to enable BACnet access.
- Access: Select the check box to enable BACnet. If this is not enabled, the unit cannot be accessed via BACnet.
NOTE: BACnet cannot be enabled until the Device Communication Control Password is set.
- Device ID: A unique identifier for this BACnet device that is used for addressing the device. (0–4194303)
- Device Name: A name for this BACnet device. The name must be unique on the BACnet network. The default device name is "BACn"+ the last eight digits of the NMC MAC address. The minimum length is 1 character, the maximum length is 150 characters, and special characters are permitted.
• Network Protocol: Select the protocol to be used.
。 BACnet/IP
- APDU Timeout: The number of milliseconds that the unit will wait for a response to a BACnet request. (1000–30,000 ms)
- APDU Retries: The number of BACnet requests attempts that the unit will make before aborting the request. (1–10)
- Device Communication Control Password: The Device Communication Control service is used by a BACnet client to instruct a remote device (e.g., a BACnet-enabled NMC) to stop initiating, or stop responding to all APDUs (except the Device Communication Control service) for a specified duration of time. This service can be used for diagnostic purposes.
Specify the Device Communication Control Password to ensure that a BACnet client cannot control the BACnet communication of the unit without first providing this password. The password is required to be between 8 and 20 characters and must contain the following:
。 A number
- An uppercase character
- A lowercase character
- A special character
It is recommended to update the password when you first enable BACnet. You do not need to know the current password to update the password.
BACnet/IP
- Local Port: The UDP/IP port that the unit uses to send and receive BACnet/IP messages. (5000–65,535)
NOTE: The address of a BACnet/IP-enabled unit is defined as the IP address of the unit and the local port.
- Enable foreign device registration: Select the check box to register the [Application Name] with a BACnet broadcast management device (BBMD).
NOTE: You need to register your unit as a foreign device with a BBMD if there is no BBMD currently on the subnet of the unit, or if the unit uses a different local port to the BBMD.

In this example,
- BBMD A manages the broadcast messages to [UNIT] V and [UNIT] W.
- BBMD B manages the broadcast messages [UNIT] X and [UNIT] Y.
• Only [UNIT] Z needs to register with BBMD A or B as a foreign device as there is no BBMD present on its subnet.
Once registered, [UNIT] Z can receive broadcast messages from the BBMD with which it is registered, and can send messages to the BBMD,
which broadcasts them to all devices on its subnet, and to the other BBMDs on the network via the IP router.
- Status: The status of the foreign device registration (FDR):
- Foreign device registration inactive
FDR will be inactive if one of the following is true: - FDR is enabled and BACnet is disabled
– FDR is disabled and BACnet is enabled -
FDR is disabled and BACnet is disabled
-
Registration successful
FDR has completed successfully
- Registration rejected
FDR has not completed successfully. The unit will retry registration automatically, but you can also toggle the Enable foreign device registration check box to prompt the unit to retry registration.
- Registration sent The FDR request has been sent, but it has not yet completed.
- BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device: The IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the BACnet broadcast management device with which this unit will be registered.
- Port: The port of the BBMD with which this unit will be registered.
- TTL: The number of seconds (Time To Live) that the BBMD will maintain the unit] as a registered device. If the unit does not re-register before this time expires, the BBMD will delete it from its foreign device table, and the unit will no longer be able to send and receive broadcast messages via the BBMD. The TTL controls how frequently the unit registers with the BBMD, as the unit will attempt to re-register before this time expires.
- BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device: The IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the BACnet broadcast management device with which this unit will be registered. - Port: The port of the BBMD with which this unit will be registered. - TTL: The number of seconds (Time To Live) that the BBMD will maintain the unit] as a registered device. If the unit does not re-register before this time expires, the BBMD will delete it from its foreign device table, and the unit will no longer be able to send and receive broadcast messages via the BBMD. The TTL controls how frequently the unit registers with the BBMD, as the unit will attempt to re-register before this time expires.
First Time Access
Method 1: CLI interface
Use a local computer connected to the Touch Screen terminal through the serial port. To access the command line interface:
- Select a serial port of the computer and disable any service using it;
- Connect the serial cable (part number 940-0299) from the computer port to the configuration port of the Touch Screen terminal;
-
Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal, Tera Term or PuTTY) and set the communication parameters:
-
9600 bps
- 8 data bits
- no parity
- 1 stop bit, and
- no flow control

- Press ENTER, more times if necessary, to display the User Name prompt;

If the User Name prompt is not displayed, check these points:
a. The serial port is not in use by another application
b. The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3
c. The correct cable is used as specified in step 2
- Type the following commands to set the Password
User Name: apc
Password: apc
- The program requires a password change:
The current password policy requires you to change your password...

- The program asks for current password and then for the new one;
Enter current Password: apc
Enter new password: XXXXXXX
Confirm new password: XXXXXXX
- Type quit or exit to log off, reconnect any serial cable previously disconnected, and restart any disabled service. Unit is now ready to accept changes of its configuration from touch screen terminal, CLI interface or HTTPS.
Method 2: HTTPS with DHCP
-
Network must have an active DHCP server. During the first access the unit is configured to get IP address from DHCP and doesn't accept any manual setting;
-
To know the Unit IP address in the touch screen terminal choose: About -> Network;

-
To access the Web UI in a web browser, type "https://" in the address bar. For example, https://10.201.188.10;
-
During the first time access to Web UI using a web browser, the program asks for current password and then for the new one;

Enter User Name: apc Enter Password: apc

Enter new password: XXXXXXX Confirm new password: XXXXXXX
- The unit is now ready to accept changes in its configuration from touch screen terminal, CLI interface or HTTPS.
Method 3: HTTPS without DHCP or Network
-
Connect a standard ethernet cable (e.g. CAT5) directly between the network port of the device and the network port of a PC.
-
The link-local IPv6 address of the device must next be determined. For devices with touchscreen displays, the link-local IPv6 address can be found in Display About -> Network; by selecting the "Addresses" button on the bottom of the page. For devices with PowerView displays the link-local IPv6
address must be determined by following the instructions in the section entitled "Determining Link-Local IPv6 Address".
-
To access the Web UI in a web browser, type "https://[IPv6 Address]" in the address bar. For example, https://[FE80::2A29:86FF:FE0B:8042];
-
During the first-time access to Web UI using a web browser, the program asks for current password and then for the new one as in the previous section.
Determining Link-Local IPv6 Address
This section only applies to devices with PowerView displays, since the link-local IPv6 address is available on units equipped with touchscreens displays.
- On the PowerView display navigate to the About Network page and record the MAC address. An example MAC address is 2829860B8042.
- If the first 6 numbers of the MAC address begin with 282986, then use the last 6 numbers of the MAC address to find the link-local IPv6 address in the following manner FE80::2A29:86FF:FExx:xxxx where xx:xxxx are the last 6 hexadecimal values of the MAC address. For example, if the MAC address is 2829860B8042, the link-local IPv6 address is FE80::2A29:86FF:FE0B:8042.
- If the first 6 numbers of the MAC address begin with 00c0b7, then use the last 6 numbers of the MAC address to find the link-local IPv6 address in the following manner FE80::02C0:B7FF:FExx:xxxx where xx:xxxx are the last 6 hexadecimal values of the MAC address. For an example, if the MAC address is 00c0b7112233, then the link-local IPv6 address is FE80::02C0:B7FF:FE11:2233.
Recover From a Lost Password
Use a local computer (a computer that connects to the Network Management Card through the serial port) to access the command line interface (CLI).
- Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
- Connect the Schneider Electric serial cable (part number 940-0299) to the selected port on the computer and to the serial port on the front of the display
