Q3. I can access the InsightPower SNMP IPv6 for UPS Web, but I cannot login

in.

Please check the IP addresses of the SNMP IPv6 and the workstation on which
you are trying to log in. By default, they must be within the same LAN so you
can connect via the web interface. You can enable external connections to
solve this issue. To do this, launch EzSetting and change User Limitation to Al­low Any, as shown below.

Q4. Unable to connect to the SNMP IPv6 via its Host Name?

If you just assign a new static IP address to the SNMP IPv6, you may need to
refresh the NetBIOS table so that it corresponds with the new setting. Although
Windows updates its NetBIOS table periodically, you can still manually force
it to refresh by entering the following command nbtstat –R in DOS prompt
mode. After that, you can now connect to the SNMP IPv6 by its Host Name.
Please also ensure that the Host Name assigned to the SNMP IPv6 does not ex­ceed 16 bytes.

Q5. How to check my workstation’s IP address?

For Windows, please enter ipcong /all in DOS prompt mode. For UNIX, please
enter ifcong in shell. You should be able to check your IP and MAC (Physical
Address) now.

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-23-4D-A2-3A-2C

Q6. Unable to ping the SNMP IPv6 from my workstation?

If the SNMP IPv6 is non-responsive, check the following:

1) If the green LED indicator on the SNMP IPv6 is OFF, check if the network
cable is correctly connected from the SNMP IPv6 to the router or hub.

2) If the green LED indicator is ON, the current IP address could be unreach­able. Manually assign a valid IP address to the SNMP IPv6.

3) If the green LED indicator flashes and (1) your network configuration in­cludes a DHCP server, make sure the DHCP service is working properly; (2)
Otherwise, make sure the assigned IP is not already taken on the network.
Please note that if the current conguration is not useable, the SNMP IPv6
will reset to default IP settings (IPv4 address: 192.168.1.100/ net mask:

255.255.255.0/ gateway: 192.168.1.254).

4) If the problem persists, use a network cable to cross link your SNMP IPv6
and the workstation. Ping the SNMP IPv6’s default or static IP address, ac­cording to your congurations. If a ping response is successfully received,
indicating that the SNMP IPv6 is working properly, check your network
equipment. If not, contact your local dealer or service personnel for assis­tance.

Q7. Unable to perform an SNMP Get command?

Refer to 5-3-2 Notication to check SNMP settings. Make sure that the work­station’s IP address is added to the NMS IP list with Read or Read/ Write access.
The community string on the workstation and the SNMP IPv6 must match.

Q8. Unable to perform an SNMP Set command?

Refer to 5-3-2 Notication to check SNMP settings. Make sure that the work­station’s IP address is added to the NMS IP list, with Read/ Write permission. The
community string on the PC and the SNMP IPv6 must match.

Q9. Unable to receive SNMP trap?

Refer to 5-3-2 Notification to check SNMP Trap settings. Make sure that the
workstation’s IP address is added to the Target IP list.

Q10. Forgot Administrator’s account and password?

You can reset Administrator’s account and password via text mode. Refer to 4-4
Conguring via COM Port to establish a COM port connection with the SNMP

IPv6. When the login information is prompted, key in rstadmin within 30 sec­onds and press enter. The Administrator account and password are now reset
to default (admin/ password).

Q11. How to enable IPv6 in Windows XP?

If you are running Windows XP, please enable IPv6 first (click START

→

RUN, and enter ipv6 install). The SNMP IPv6 supports IPv6 with no additional
configurations required. However, please note that IPv6 is automatically dis­abled if an identical LLA (Local-link Address) already exists on the LAN. If the
SNMP IPv6 obtains both IPv4 and IPv6 records from DNS resolution, the IPv4 is
used as the primary IP address for the given Host Name.

To learn more information regarding IPv6 compatibility, please visit IETF (http://
tools.ietf.org/html), or IPv6 Ready Logo Program (http://www.ipv6ready.org).

Q12. How to generate a private SSL certificate file (in PEM format) for HTTPs

connection?

To ensure connection security between the SNMP IPv6 and your worksta­tion, you can create your own SSL certicate le. Please download and install
OpenSSL Toolkit from http://www.openssl.org. Launch Shell or DOS prompt
mode and enter the following command to create your own certicate le:

openssl req –x509 –nodes –days 3650 –newkey
rsa:1024 –keyout cert.pem –out cert.pem

1) Answer the prompted questions. Proceed with the given directions. Once
it is completed, a le named cert.pem is created in the current working di­rectory.

2) Upload cert.pem to the InsightPower SNMP IPv6 for UPS Web. Please refer
to 5-3-1 Administration – Web.

Q13. How to generate DSA, RSA and Public keys for SSH?
