Is this the NIC card you have installed in your UPS?
If so, have you tried using the 'Network Management Device IP Configuration Wizard' to configure it? If you don't have that application, you can download it from here:
Apc Ups Serial Connection
Apc Smart Ups Serial Connection Settings Free
Connect your UPS to the same network as the computer you are using to configure it. You can install the configuration wizard and follow the step-by-step instructions that you can find on that same page. I haven't done it in a while but from what I remeber it is very straight forward with that software.
