INTRODUCTION
1
In the modern business environment, communication and sharing information is crucial. With computer networks becoming larger and more complex, a constant power supply is vital to the operation of our organization. Your computer system relies on the battery backup of an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) to maintain network integrity when the main power source fails.
The SuperStack II UPS Management Module provides network power management through UPS monitoring and control. The Management Module is shipped with default settings that you can change to meet the needs of your organization.
Networking Terminology
A Network is a collection of workstations (for example, BM-compatible personal computers) and other equipment (for example, printers), connected for the purpose of exchanging information. Networks vary in size, some are within a single room, others span continents.
Ethernet is a type of local area network, referring to the technology used to pass information around the network.
10BASE-T is the name given to the Ethernet protocol that runs over Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable. The Management Module uses an RJ-45 connector for connecting your network.
Token Ring is the name given to a network that uses token passing technology in a sequential manner. Token Ring networks use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable or Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) cable. The Management Module uses either an RJ-45 connector or a 9-pin connector for connecting your network.
1-2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol that controls how a management station gains information from a device. SNMP is composed of three areas:
■A set of rules that define how a management station can communicate with a device.
■A Management Information Base (MIB) that defines what information can be obtained from the device by the management station. Every SNMP-manageable device has a MIB, which is a list of information about it.
■Unsolicited messages called Traps, which work differently to the usual request/reply management communication. You can configure a device so that it generates a trap if a certain condition occurs, for example a port partitioning. The trap will be sent to the management station to inform it of the occurrence.
Device is a term that is used to refer to a piece of network equipment. Every device has a unique address that is used to identify it on the network.
Internet Protocol (IP) is a data communication protocol used to connect computers and data equipment into computer networks. It is used on a large international network called the Internet, which is composed of universities, government facilities, research institutions, and private companies.

INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the SuperStack II UPS Management Module and how to install the module in the SuperStack II UPS.
The SuperStack II UPS Management Module
The Management Module is a single box that connects to the SuperStack II UPS directly through the management power connector.
The Management Module is available in two different models:
Ethernet (3C16020) and Token Ring (3C16021). The Ethernet model can connect to a twisted-pair Ethernet (10base-T) network using an RJ-45 connector. With the Token-Ring model, you can connect the Management Module to a shielded or unshielded twisted-pair Token Ring at 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps.
The module contains a full SNMP agent that implements the Internet standard (RFC-1628) UPS Management Information Base, private extensions for more control, and relevant portions of MIB II.
WARNING: The RJ-45 connector is a data socket. Only data cables should be connected to it. Do not connect telephone outlets to these connectors.
AVERTISSEMENT: Le connecteur RJ-45 est une prise de données. Seuls des âbles de données devraient y être connectés. Ne reliez pas de prises téléphoniques à ces connecteurs.
WARNUNG: Bei dem Anschluß RJ-45 handelt es sich um eine Datenbuchse, an die ausschließlich Datenleitungen angeschlossen

Before You Start |
2-3 |
Before You Start
You must have a SuperStack II UPS installed and operating to use the Management Module, in addition to one of the following cables:
■Twisted-pair cable for an Ethernet network
■The patch cable (STP or UTP) for your Token Ring network type
Installing the Management Module
To install the Management Module, you need access to the management power connector on the UPS and the cables that are connected to your network.
1 Remove the blanking plate on the SuperStack II UPS rear panel. Retain the screws.
.
Figure 2-3 Removing the Blanking Plate on the SuperStack II UPS
2Slide the Management Module into the open slot and secure with the blanking plate screws.
Make sure the RJ-45 connector is located at the bottom of the Management Module.
