Thanks much! Switching to SNMP worked miracles! Much appreciated

We are running a Symmetra 16000 with a network card. Not sure which
version....
I am running CentOS 6.5 x86_64.

UPSCABLE ether
# To get apcupsd to work, in addition to defining the cable
# above, you must also define a UPSTYPE, which corresponds to
# the type of UPS you have (see the Description for more details).
# You must also specify a DEVICE, sometimes referred to as a port.
# For USB UPSes, please leave the DEVICE directive blank. For
# other UPS types, you must specify an appropriate port or address.
#
# UPSTYPE DEVICE Description
# apcsmart /dev/tty** Newer serial character device, appropriate
for
# SmartUPS models using a serial cable (not
USB).
#
# usb <BLANK> Most new UPSes are USB. A blank DEVICE
# setting enables autodetection, which is
# the best choice for most installations.
#
# net hostname:port Network link to a master apcupsd through
apcupsd's
# Network Information Server. This is used if
the
# UPS powering your computer is connected to a
# different computer for monitoring.
#
# snmp hostname:port:vendor:community
# SNMP network link to an SNMP-enabled UPS
device.
# Hostname is the ip address or hostname of the
UPS
# on the network. Vendor can be can be "APC" or
# "APC_NOTRAP". "APC_NOTRAP" will disable SNMP
trap
# catching; you usually want "APC". Port is
usually
# 161. Community is usually "private".
#
# netsnmp hostname:port:vendor:community
# OBSOLETE
# Same as SNMP above but requires use of the
# net-snmp library. Unless you have a specific
need
# for this old driver, you should use 'snmp'
instead.
#
# dumb /dev/tty** Old serial character device for use with
# simple-signaling UPSes.
#
# pcnet ipaddr:username:passphrase:port
# PowerChute Network Shutdown protocol which
can be
# used as an alternative to SNMP with the
AP9617
# family of smart slot cards. ipaddr is the IP
# address of the UPS management card. username
and
# passphrase are the credentials for which the
card
# has been configured. port is the port number
on
# which to listen for messages from the UPS,
normally
# 3052. If this parameter is empty or missing,
the
# default of 3052 will be used.

*Subject:* [Apcupsd-users] Unable to connect to UPS Network Management
Card2from CentOS
Hello,
I run apcupsd 3.14.10 (13 September 2011) on CentOS release 6.5 (Final),
and I have an APC Smart-UPS with a Network Management Card 2 (AP9631).
When trying to get apcupsd to connect over ethernet to the management
Apr 17 18:48:53 Linux apcupsd[9702]: apcupsd FATAL ERROR in pcnet.c at
line 661#012Cannot bind socket (13)
I have verified that there are no other instances of apcupsd runnning, and
also no other services claiming that port. The firewall on the Linux-box
has been shut down, and I have only one simple switch between the server
and the management card. Accessing the management card of the UPS via Web
and SSH works fine and the system appears correctly configured. The
documentation refers to an earlier version of the management card, but
AP9631 is supposedly fully backwards compatible, and regardless of that it
seems the error is on the linux box, long before it reaches the card.
I would be very grateful if someone could kindly help me point out what I
have missed in order to make this work. Thank you!
