Support
What is the difference between PowerPanel Business Edition (PPBE) and PowerPanel Business (PPB)?

PPB is a new version of CyberPower’s business class monitoring and management software. It has an updated graphical interface, it’s designed to work with future updates of operating systems, and has enhancements to make setting up and use easier.

Can you install both PPBE and PPB on the same computer?

No, you can only install one version or the other.

What role of PowerPanel Business Edition (PPBE) and PowerPanel Business (PPB) installation do I need to choose?

Use Agent (PPBE) or Local (PPB) when you are connecting the computer to the UPS with a USB or Serial cable. Use Client (PPBE) or Remote (PPB) if you are connecting the computer via your network to the RMCARD installed on the UPS. Use Center (PPBE) or Management (PPB) when you want to monitor and manage all the CyberPower power protection products on your network.

Is there any authentication required between computers with PPBE or PPB and RMCARDs?

Yes, the Secret Phrase of all computers running PPBE or PPB and RMCARDs needs to be the same for communication to be established. This is set up under Security > Authentication.

Does PPBE or PPB need to have any specific ports allowed by firewalls for it to work?

Yes, the following network service ports should not be blocked by firewalls where PPBE or PPB is installed:

  • Port # – Service
  • Port 3052 – http
  • Port 162 – SNMP
  • Port 53566 – https
  • Port 53568 – https

Why can’t PPBE find CyberPower devices or other PPBE computers on my network?

PPBE can only find devices within the same subnet. If your computer is on a different subnet than that of the UPS you want to connect to, then you have to change the IP address of your computer to be on the same subnet as the UPS or vice versa.

How many devices can PPBE Center and PPB Management support?

There is no limit to the number of devices PPBE Center or PPB Management can support.

How many PPBE Client and PPB Remote roles can the RMCARD support?

RMCARDs can manage up to 50 PPBE Client and PPB Remote roles.

Can you install more than one role of PPBE or PPB on the same computer?

No, you can only install one role of PPBE or PPB on a computer.
