Legacy Communications SmartSlot Card – UPS Network Management Interface

The APC AP9620 is a Legacy Communications SmartSlot Card designed to enable continued use of older communication protocols with newer APC UPS systems. Ideal for IT administrators and facility managers operating in hybrid environments, this card facilitates seamless integration between legacy monitoring systems and Smart-UPS devices. Whether you're extending the life of your UPS investment or maintaining compatibility with existing infrastructure, the AP9620 provides reliable, backward-compatible connectivity. It is specifically engineered for environments where serial-based communication is still required, such as industrial setups, older management software, or secure and isolated systems.

Features

Modernization doesn't have to mean replacement. The APC AP9620 SmartSlot Card makes it possible to retain legacy monitoring tools while upgrading your UPS infrastructure. Once installed into the SmartSlot of a compatible APC UPS, the card allows for serial connectivity, enabling traditional system monitoring and graceful shutdowns without the need for network-based communication.

Advanced Options

This is particularly useful in environments where legacy systems still provide critical functions or where IT security protocols restrict modern SNMP or web-based management. Built with reliability and flexibility in mind, the AP9620 ensures continuous monitoring and control across diverse deployment environments.
