CyberPower RMCARD205 UPS & ATS PDU Remote Management Card

Folks here who say they cant get it to work or cant get an IP address are too out of their depth to own this card. You have to understand at least the first thing or two about how addressing works, but if you have that, then this is a no brainer. As a last resort, you could actually READ the instructions. Card provides a great depth into status and has granular reporting for any need. Only issue is that it is severly overpriced. The cousin product RCCARD105 is a lot cheaper but is severely limited in capability as compared to this one. If cyberpower puts this RMCARD205 at the pricepoint of the RCCARD105, i will put one in every UPS in our realm, which is about qty 300 or so.

I purchased this card for my Cyberpower OR500LCD I have at home for my networking equipment. My batteries had gone bad but I did not know it until we had a power failure. Determined to not let that happen again I purchased this card so I can better monitor and test the UPS. The first thing I noticed was it could be installed without powering down the UPS. That was great since my family is constantly using the internet. I plugged it into the back of the UPS, hooked it up and it immediately got a DHCP IP address from my router. I used that IP address to log into the web portal to configure it. Everything worked perfectly. I even set up the email portion so I get an email when a UPS event happens. Very nice. Also there is a small program you can download from Cyberpower that makes updating the firmware very easy. No need to fool with FTP stuff. Anyway I am extremely pleased with the card. I was worried after seeing some of the reviews but my card had no trouble. One hint I would give is to update the firmware first before making many changes to the settings.

This works fine, SNMP follows the standard UPS formats. Mine got a DHCP address immediately. The web interface is a bit lacking, seems to be a front-end to a telnet/SSH session. Only one person can be logged in at a time, and as far as I can tell there is no way to get a SNMP like status over XML/JSON which would be a great feature.I also had troubles setting up authenticated SMTP email notifications, it wouldn't work with the same settings I used on other devices (like the Synology DSM). If I can get that to work properly, I'll raise the rating.But this does the job, and the SNMP works with Synology's network UPS monitoring support.

These are pretty expensive for what they are but they are very useful.We have multiple devices connected to our rack UPS units and this device allows them to all monitor status and receive shutdown events via cyberpower’s own software on windows or via snmp on other devices like dedicated nas units.The email and text notifications are also useful to know when an outage occurs when we’re not around.

Love being able to connect to my ups. Works well. Only issue was connecting the first time. Had to use command line connection method. Software and http:\\ip didn't work.

Works like a champ and give my company peace of mind and the emails that come in a great and super easy to understand. Even if you not a I.T. person you can still understand if you know how to read, etc..!

First it is over priced. But I needed it to remote into the cyber power battery back up system. It critical for family reasons. So I bought it. I tried to download their set up software to both a version 10 win laptop then version 11 windows laptop. It would not launch. I opened support to. I rcv’d one email response then nothing. Now I have a 300.00 Ethernet card brick!!! Never again!!!

Product fully manages cyber power ups systems. Email alerting and SNMP logging. Highly recommend for home lawyers.
