FAQs

What is the SmartSlot?

The SmartSlot is an internal accessory slot in many APC UPS units that allows you to install management cards like the NMC3.

Can I monitor multiple UPS units with one NMC3?

No, each NMC3 manages a single UPS unit.

What security features does the NMC3 offer?

The NMC3 offers HTTPS/SSL, SSH (up to 2048-bit encryption), and SNMPv3 for secure communication.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are done through the NMC3's web interface, accessible from a web browser.

What are the environmental monitoring capabilities?

The NMC3 supports temperature and humidity sensors, allowing you to monitor the environment around the UPS.

Does the NMC3 support BACnet/IP?

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual is included in the box and is also available on the APC website.

Troubleshooting

Cannot access the web interface.

Check the network connection and ensure the NMC3 has a valid IP address. Verify the IP address in your web browser.

UPS not reporting status correctly.

Verify the connection between the NMC3 and the UPS. Check the SmartSlot connection and ensure the UPS is powered on.

Alerts not being received.

Verify the email or SNMP trap configuration settings within the NMC3's interface and that your network allows these communications.
