How to Install an SNMPWEBCARD

Insert SNMPWEBCARD into Accessory Slot

Use a screwdriver to remove the accessory slot cover from the UPS. While the UPS is turned on, align the SNMPWEBCARD with the guides in the accessory slot and push the card into the slot until the ports are nearly even with the rear surface of the UPS.

Connect SNMPWEBCARD to Network

Connect a standard Ethernet patch cable to the RJ45 Ethernet port on the card.

Note: This port does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications. The card will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP. This may take as long as several minutes, depending on your network environment.

Discover IP Address

Contact your network administrator to determine which IP address has been assigned to the card by the DHCP server. The card can be identified on the DHCP server by referring to its MAC address (see Locate MAC Address ). You may wish to request a long-term lease period for the IP address, depending on your application. After you have discovered the IP address, proceed to Test and Configure.

Note: The DHCP addresss is also displayed during boot-up when connected to a computer through the configuration cable and a terminal emulation program.

Note: As of firmware version 12.06.006X, the SNMPWEBCARD supports both IPv4 and IPv6. It is set up by default to receive a DHCP address for IPv4, IPv6 or both. Receiving both addresses allows connection to the card by either IPv4 or IPv6 address.

Determine IP Information

The SNMPWEBCARD can support a single static IPv4 address (requires setting the IP address, subnet mask and gateway) and/or a single IPv6 static address. In addition, the SNMPWEBCARD can support a single static IPv4 or an IPv6 DNS address that is required to be entered.

Connect SNMPWEBCARD to Computer

Before inserting the card into the UPS, use the configuration cable (part number 73-1025) included with the card to connect the card to the computer. The circular connector A at one end of the cable attaches to the 8-pin mini-DIN serial port B on the card (align the connector carefully to avoid damaging the pins). The DB9 connector C at the other end of the cable connects to the computer's serial port D.

Insert SNMPWEBCARD into Accessory Slot

Use a screwdriver to remove the accessory slot cover from the UPS. While the UPS is turned on, align the SNMPWEBCARD with the guides in the accessory slot and push the card into the slot until the ports are nearly even with the rear surface of the UPS.

Configure SNMPWEBCARD in Terminal Mode

Within 10-15 seconds, a menu will appear and the boot process will pause for 5 seconds. Press any key within the five second pause to enter Configuration Mode. A prompt will appear asking to (A)ccept settings or (M)odify changes. Press 'M' to modify changes and then login with the default root password TrippLite (case sensitive). Follow the prompts to make changes.

Notes:

• If a key is not pressed within the five second pause, the boot process will continue. To make changes through the terminal program after this, a reboot is required. A reboot can be accomplished in three ways:

  1. Pull the SNMPWEBCARD out of the device, and then reinsert it.
  2. Using a small paper clip, press the reset button through the small hole on the face plate (below the RJ45 network port).
  3. During the boot process, press any key. This will prompt for a login name and password. Enter the default username localadmin, the default password localadmin, and then type reboot. This will restart the card.

• If you have the terminal program running and do not see the power ON banner, remove the card and reinsert it, or push the reset button.

  3-5-4 USERS/SNMP

  The SNMPWEBCARD allows for twelve users. Users require a username and password of at least eight characters that can be a combination of alphanumeric characters and dashes "—". A user can be defined as an SNMP user or not by defining the SNMP version when setting up the user.

  3-5-5 SECURITY SETTINGS

  These prompts help define the security levels and access for the SNMPWEBCARD and its users.

  Warning: If you choose to edit your Root Password, keep records of the change in a place easily accessible to your network administrators. Eaton CANNOT recover, edit or override changed Root Passwords if they have been lost or forgotten. Eaton CANNOT provide technical support for an SNMPWEBCARD without knowledge of the Root Password. If this occurs, a new SNMPWEBCARD will be needed.

  Would you like to update the Root Password? [N]
  Do you wish to modify the users? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 1 "localadmin"? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 2 "localmanager"? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 3 "localguest"? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 4 "public"? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 5 "tripplite"? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 6 "cardself"? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 7 "cardtocard"? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 8 "-blank-"? [N]
  Do you wish to modify user number 9 "-blank-"? [N]
  Enter a name for user 8 [-blank-]? [N]
  SNMP privilege levels: 0=none, 1=SNMPv1, 2=SNMPv2, 3=SNMPv3
  SNMP privilege level for "tripptripp"? [N]
  Password for "tripptripp"? **********
  Re-enter password for "tripptripp"? **********
  Facilities: []: default=rw

  Note: Facilities are areas of the program that a user may be given access to, or restricted from.

  Available facilities are:

  0=default	5=logging	10=actions
  1=security	6=device status	11=schedules
  2=contacts	7=device controls	12=discovery
  3=systemsettings	8=deviceevents
  4=systeminfo	9=deviceloads

  Access options to these facilities are rw, ro or none.

  For Example:

  default=rw indicates the user has read write access to every facility not otherwise specified. This is the level of access user localadmin has.

  default=rw, security=none indicates that the user has read write access to every facility, but due to the addition of the security facility tag, the user would be restricted from the security settings of the program.

  Allowed IP address or Address range, v6 or tunneled v4, "::" means any address.

  IP address Mask in v6 notation, "::" means any subnet mask.

  IPv4 Example:

  To allow anybody with an address of 10.X.X.X to have access:
  Address: ::ffff:10.0.0.0
  Mask: ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ff00:0000

  To allow anybody with an address of 10.20.X.X to have access:
  Address: ::ffff:10.20.0.0
  Mask: ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:0000

  To allow anybody with an address of 10.20.1.X to have access:
  Address: ::ffff:10.20.1.0
  Mask: ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ff00

  IPv6 Example:

  To allow someone from the 3291:2251::0/64 range:
  Address: 3291:2251::0
  Mask: FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF::0

  To allow only a small handful of people on the range 4923:2241::3200/120:
  Address: 4923:2241::3200
  Mask: FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FF00

  This will admit addresses 4923:2241::3200 - 4923:2241::32FF.

Remove Serial Cable

Using one hand to hold the card in place, remove the serial cable. Proceed to Test and Configure.

Test Network Connection

After an IP address has been assigned to the card, try to access it with a Web browser. Open a Web browser on a computer connected to the LAN and enter http:// or https:// followed by the IP address. You should be prompted for a password. The user name is localadmin and the default password is localadmin. After you enter the user name and password, the PowerAlert Status page will appear in the browser window. For more information about configuration and operation of the managed device, refer to the SNMPWEBCARD User's Guide, located in the support section of the SNMPWEBCARD product web page.

Changing the Default UPS System Shutdown Settings

During a power failure, the SNMPWEBCARD is pre-configured to shut down the UPS system two minutes after receiving a low battery signal. This allows the UPS system to provide the maximum available runtime to connected equipment.

If you want to change the default setting, follow these instructions and refer to Figures 2-1 and 2-2:

1. Use a Web browser to open the PowerAlert console window for your SNMPWEBCARD (see 3.1 Opening the Web Console for instructions).
2. Click the Actions menu A and access the Event Actions submenu B.
3. Select Device Shutdown in the Device Actions C section.
4. Click the + button on the bottom of the screen D to add a new action.
5. In the Name field E, type a name for the new action.
6a. Click the Actions field F to access its submenu.

6b. Select the device to shut down in the Select Trigger Device section G.
7. Set how long the delay should be before the action will take place H.
8. Select the Event(s) that will trigger the action I.
