APC: usually a UPS network card, not a router

APC by Schneider Electric is best known for UPS units. The web page people look for is usually the one of the UPS Network Management Card (NMC), which lets you monitor the UPS over the network. Our database also lists one APC router, the WMR1000G, at 192.168.1.1 with Admin / APC.

Finding the Network Management Card

The NMC has no fixed address. Schneider Electric says that cards on NMC2 and NMC3 with AOS 5.1.1 or later take an address by DHCP by default. To find it:

  • Look in the router’s or DHCP server’s client list. APC devices have MAC addresses starting with 00:C0:B7.
  • Check the UPS display. Some UPS models show the card’s address in the configuration menu.

Logging in

Open the card’s address in a browser. The default administrator login is apc / apc; passwords are case-sensitive, and the card asks you to set new credentials after the first login. Device User and Read-Only accounts have their own default names.

Forgotten password

Schneider Electric describes a reset procedure: pressing the card’s Reset button twice during a specific LED pattern temporarily restores the default username and password, after which you log in through a serial connection or the network. Follow the user guide for your card model, because the steps differ between generations.
