NMC Card - PowerWalker UPS Management Web Interface - 1081

[@denhouse1]

I’m glad that I’m not the only one that goes through all the instructions and then later finds just plug the device in and it works, no setup needed. Please keep this a variety channel, not just a tech channel.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Well I would have liked to not have wasted two hours getting the serial connection working 😬

[@Peter195267]

As I have said before, I enjoy ALL your videos Morten. I also love lollies that's what we call them in West Australia (candy or sweets else where).

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thank you very much,,, I know there is a audience for both kind of videos! 🤗

[@dimitristsoutsouras2712]

Do you need both ports connected to the switch? Lost it somewhere? Each one with a different ip address? Didn t quite get it why it needs both ports? At 16:10 since login is required for web access is disabled by default, how come and let you login? Nah.... don t bother to answer the first question.... at 14:25 you gave the answer rj45 to serial cable wasn t needed or if it was it was a one time only until you give the ups a static ip.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Dimitris Tsoutsouras Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

UPS Network managment card.. I just Bought one for my 2200w APC Ups ..lol. Cool Video !

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi BIGCHEW Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@LauwersFreddy]

Morten has read the manual before the video? I think hell just froze over 😉 Thank you for making these videos.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Well I did not read enough! 🤔

[@Innocentdarkness72]

i don't mind the rebuild of the playhouse !!!

[@MyPlayHouse]

I do not either.. but I would like it to go a lot faster 🤗

[@MatrixGaimz]

Whether it's DIY or tech you'll have people watching! Just make the content you want :D

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thank you very much 🤗

[@venopsis]

That's exactly why I like this channel. Not only IT stuff but sometimes you get other stuff (electrical, house, wood working, windows replacement, etc). Relaxing videos.

[@tengelgeer]

Those PowerWalker units look a lot like Eaton stuff. Including the network/management card.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Yes so I’m told 😬 and I do see the resemblance.

[@nld_Robert]

Keep them complaining, Me and many others like it very much. 😃 Greetings Robert Normally a silent subscriber

[@MyPlayHouse]

I will do :-)

[@artursmihelsons415]

That was great surprise, to see, that DHCP was enabled by default.. 😂 Cool, that network module works as it should. 👍 Empty candy papers at the end, make me laugh..

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thank you very much,, I do enjoy when someone likes my little jokes 🤗

[@matiasm.3124]

You could connect the serial cable to a sever. I think most ibm/lenovo servers have serial port. The nice of have a management card you can automatically shutdown your servers when battery is low with the correct software.. at least with apc ups

[@MyPlayHouse]

I did not get to the shutting down stuff yet 🤗

[@8ballfpv]

this server malarky is addictive... Slowly falling down the server rabbit hole for stuff I have no idea what to do with!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Join the dark side,, we accept cookies!! :-)

[@8ballfpv]

@@MyPlayHouse oh I have joined... currently eyeing up server #4 that I have absolutely no use for and a bigger rack space... just dont tell the missus! lol and greetings from Australia!

[@triggertits]

Welcome to the darkside, as Morten put it, lol. ;-) Just be careful. All this server stuff is addictive, and before you know it, you have a rack full of servers and equipment.

[@8ballfpv]

@@triggertits I'm already on 3 and looking to expand my rack to a bigger one in the garage rather than my office .. lol

[@Alpejohn]

I installed one of these cards in my Eaton UPS, i also had some trouble setting it up :-P But it works now and turns off my computer and NAS after a few minutes if the power goes out. :-)

[@MyPlayHouse]

I need to also set that up,, but video was already long 🤔

[@Majestix_78]

@@MyPlayHouse I need that and I cannot find any manual, can you share how you can do that? I haven't bought the card yet so I cannot check if it is working.

[@UmbraAtrox_]

Do you by any chance know the pinout for the edgeconnector?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Sorry I am afraid not.

[@lamarrrrr]

Ah, I've just received my PowerWalker 2000VA UPS, but this management interface doesn't want to go all the way in :(

[@lamarrrrr]

Update: Pulled it back out really carefully using two levers, and tried again with success.

[@MyPlayHouse]

That reminds me,, I should be looking for a bigger one...

[@Magicairsoft9]

Its kinda weird that connecting the NMC needs to shutdown connected peripherals, usually its possible to connect the card while running- tested on APC/Schneider, ATEN, Eaton (Dell, HP, IBM, Eaton itself), this card looks very much like one of these (most likely ATEN one).

[@dasiro]

I don't know the brand, but this model seems very old-tech. modern devices you can set to bypass and then connect it, but we're talking about the XP age ;) also at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGPTXquthbdroMU it says output rating 230V, but it manages to make the bad 235V even worse to 236V so my guess is that it's not very feature-rich, but old weird tech never stopped morten from playing with it ;)

[@Magicairsoft9]

@@dasiro :-D

[@MyPlayHouse]

I was not physically able to put in the card while the UPS was in the rack.

[@Magicairsoft9]

@@MyPlayHouse Actually I thought about it while watching the video- you could pull the server that rests on top of the UPS little bit forward on rails, so you could have like 7U of workspace in the back :-)

[@jessede1970]

Hi mortan whats your prospects on Windows 11 coming up will your stuff be ok

[@MyPlayHouse]

I have not looked in to it yet.. :-)

[@jessede1970]

@@MyPlayHouse i have tried the beta version and my pc will not run it I have to buy a new pc

[@egg5474]

Do you rent out your servers or do you just use them as a homelab?

[@KayJay01]

He answers this in an faq in the about tab on his channel

[@MyPlayHouse]

This is my home lab,,, and then I started making KZbin videos,, and that has kind of taken over.

[@dawn1berlitz]

wow i surprised the NMC card would mention such an outdated OS i need to one day get one for my server to keep her going temporarily

[@MyPlayHouse]

It did do later OS,, but it said XP, so we did that 🤗

[@pmsrodrigues]

Still on 8.8.8.8 I see. Have you considered Quad9?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Have tried that,, I forget what it does different!

[@pmsrodrigues]

@@MyPlayHouse It protects the privacy by not logging anything AND protects against malware, phishing, spyware and botnets sites. Have it deployed in a few locations, including a small hospital.

[@kacper9207]

super

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thank you!

[@VioletDragonsProjects]

i miss Windows XP. it still has it usage in 2021. people laugh at me when i use Windows XP for the old Serial connection

[@MyPlayHouse]

I have it on this old laptop,, for weird stuff that needs a windows XP.

[@jaroo25041980]

Hi how to make this sensor APC AP9335TH, cost of this item is 100$, DIY version I think 5$. I need schematics, maybe someone have one.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi @jaroo25041980 Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@chilifan4336]

Haha, it of course couldn't work if you connected the Serial Connection through an Ethernet Cable as there's a difference between the order of individual cables (cable veins? don't know how you call them in english) in these two connections Cheers from Poland!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Luckily I knew that it was a serial,, so did not connect it to network 😱

[@studioxxswe]

but but you have a million servers in your racks with SERIAL ports? and you had to bring a laptop? :) Also when the card got an IP why did you stay in the noisy server room instead of the living room, to many empty. pizza boxes? :) Anyways I bought my Management cards to my APC UPSs on eBay, I paid like 300 SEK for one and 2000 SEK for the other. Strange that this is still not included. Need it for SNMP as well

[@MyPlayHouse]

:-) that is what you use client equipment for,, bad to brake a server system board,, or install doubtful software on a server.

[@Jsak666]

Stuff those complaining shits. Keep doing what your doing, variety is the spice of life 👍

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thank you very much,, I do the variety for my sake to,, making server videos all the time. Also becomes tedious 🤔

[@strelokreg]

My PowerWalker UPS price is 35800 UAH, and NMC card costs 13 000 UAH. What???!!!

[@MyPlayHouse]

What is an UAH ?

[@koltilabs5210]

yes this is reasy easy i have the same one but didn't tested so far a lot with it :-)
