MCD-Menu Program
Restart APC Monitor Server (Choice #6)
This function will call the restart the apcupsd server and attempt
to communicate with the APC via the supplied APC USB cable. If
no APC brand Smart UPS is present, the server will not start. To
check if the APC Monitor server has started, select option 5 on the
mcd-menu and test the APC UPS Connection. Important to note
here is that this software is targeted towards APC brand Smart or
Back-UPS PRO model UPS devices that connect via their supplied
USB. For example, a good model to use would be an APC Back-
UPS PRO 700. The MCD requires nominal power so a 700VA unit
could provide over 60 minutes of runtime if no other load was on
the same UPS.
Test Internet Connection (Choice #7)
If you have selected to Test the Internet Connection, then the
following will be displayed on the screen:

www.wcc-controls.com is online.
DNS is resolving correctly.
The screen should now take you back to the mcd-menu main
screen after about a second or two.
Update MCD2 via USB (Choice #9)
This function will run the Linux update program and should be
used to upgrade to any new service packs or releases. This updater
will query the USB drive for updates. These updates will be
released by WattMaster and will be available by contacting tech
support for an updated release.
Most updates will just function as installed but some will require
a restart of the MCD2 to take effect. It is also possible that some
updates will ask yes or no (Y/N) to updating the MCD2. Answer
“Y” (Yes) to these questions to permit the update process to
continue properly.
NOTE: Linux kernel updates will always require a restart.
Select Option 16 ‘Shutdown and Reboot MCD.’

This function will run the Linux update program and should be
used to upgrade to any new service packs or releases. This function

of updates. These updates will be released by WattMaster and will
be available for immediate release as they are published.
