The APC AP9631 UPS Network Management Card 2 enables full IP-based monitoring and control of APC SmartSlot UPS systems, with the added capability of two Universal I/O ports for connecting environmental sensors. Administrators can monitor UPS status, configure alarms, execute graceful server shutdowns, and track temperature and humidity conditions — all from a secure network browser or command line interface.

Security features include HTTPS/SSL, SSH (up to 2048-bit), SNMPv3, and FTP, with IPv6 support for modern network infrastructure. The card supports up to 8 concurrent web users and 3 CLI sessions, making it suitable for distributed IT teams managing UPS assets across multiple locations.

Best For:

-IT administrators requiring remote UPS monitoring and graceful shutdown capability

- Data centers and server rooms where environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity) is required alongside power monitoring

- Organizations deploying APC SmartSlot UPS systems on IPv6 networks

- Facilities management teams needing centralized UPS status and alarm reporting
