APC SmartSlot Network Management Card EX — AP9617
Condition: Tested  •  Platform: SmartSlot / NMC1  •  Management: Web + SNMP

The APC AP9617 Network Management Card EX adds network-based monitoring and management to compatible legacy APC UPS systems. Review UPS status and alarms through its web interface or connect supported equipment to your existing SNMP monitoring platform.

This tested first-generation Network Management Card (NMC1) is a replacement option for supported older installations. Confirm your UPS model, application firmware, and network-security requirements before ordering.

Key Features
  • Web-based management — access supported UPS information and settings through the card’s browser interface.
  • SNMP integration — use polling and event traps with compatible network-management tools.
  • Event and data logs — review recorded events and operating data to support troubleshooting.
  • 10/100 Ethernet connection — connect to a compatible network switch using the card’s RJ45 port.
Important: Verify Your UPS Model Before Ordering

The AP9617 is not a universal APC network card. Compatible equipment includes select older Smart-UPS SU, SUA, SUM, SURT, SURTA, and SURTD models, plus supported Symmetra and Matrix systems, subject to model and firmware requirements. It is not supported in Smart-UPS SMT, SMX, or SRT families. A matching SmartSlot opening alone does not confirm compatibility.

Deployment & Network Setup

For consistent monitoring, use a documented static IP or a properly configured DHCP reservation. Record the card’s network settings and monitoring configuration for future service.

DHCP setup note: NMC1 cards require an APC vendor cookie in DHCP Option 43 by default. A DHCP reservation alone may not be sufficient unless the server supplies the required option or the card’s cookie requirement has been disabled.

Legacy Network Security Notice

The AP9617 is a discontinued legacy platform. Its older HTTPS implementation may not work with modern browser security requirements. Deploy it on a restricted management network, change default credentials, and limit access to authorized personnel. Do not expose the card directly to the public internet.

Ordering & Configuration — UPS Model Required

Please provide the UPS brand and full model number when ordering. A clear photo of the UPS identification label is also helpful. This allows us to verify compatibility and determine the appropriate application firmware for your UPS family.

Network preconfiguration: Request this before shipment so available options and required IP settings can be confirmed. Otherwise, your technician or IT staff will need to complete site-specific network setup after installation.

Order processing note: Missing UPS information may delay processing while we contact you to confirm compatibility. Installation should follow the applicable APC instructions for the UPS and management card.
