Frequently Asked Questions

General FAQs14.1

Q. How d o I telnet to the Rem o te Pow er Switch (DC)? A. You must use Port 2002 to con nect to the Remote Powe r Swi t ch (DC). Con f i gure your Te lnet client

to conn ect using TCP/IP (not " T elne t , " or any other port op t ions). For connection informati on, en t er the IP address of the Remote Power Swi t ch (DC) an d Port 20 02. For example, to conn ect to the Remote Powe r Swi t ch (DC) using the stan dard Windows Tel net client, click Sta rt, cli ck Ru n, and typ e "tel net <Remote Po we r Swi t ch (DC) IP address> 200 2."

Q. How d o I connect my Remote Power Switc h (DC) to the LAN? A. To conne ct y our Remote Po we r Swi t ch (DC) to your L AN, yo u nee d to confi gure th e unit IP address,

the sub net mask an d the d efaul t gateway. A sample configurati on could look like t his:

Unit Address: 192.168.1.100 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Save you r cha nges by writ ing to NVRAM and reboot . Any change to the unit 's IP configurati on requ ires a rebo ot.

Q. When I conn ect to the Remote Pow er Switch (DC) through the craft port on th e front pan el it

either doesn't work righ t o r it d o esn't w o rk at all. Wha t's go i n g o n ?

A. Make sure your using the right COM port settings. Your COM port settings should read:

Bits per second: 9600 (960 0 baud) Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits : 1 Flow control: None Important! Flow control must b e set to none. Flow contro l normall y defaults to h ardware i n most

termina l programs, and this will not work corre ctly with the Remote Po we r Swi t ch (DC).

Q. The LAN link LED is green on m y Remote Power Switch (DC), but I can't poll it from my T/

Mon.

A. Some routers will not fo rwa rd packet s to an IP add ress until the MAC address of the destinat ion

device has been reg istered on the ro uter's Ad dress Resolu t ion Prot ocol (A RP) table. Enter the I P add ress of y our gat eway and yo ur T/Mon system to t he ARP tabl e.

Q. What characteristic s of an al arm p o i n t can be configu red through softwa re? For ins tance,

can p o i n t 4 be used to sense an a ctive-low signal, o r po i n t 5 to sense a level or an edge?

A. The uni t's standard confi gu ra ti on is for all al a rm poin ts to be le v e l-sen sed. You cannot use

config uratio n software to convert alarm poi nts to TTL (e dge-sensed) operat ion. TT L alarm po ints are a hardware optio n that must be spe cified whe n you order y our Remote Po we r Swi t ch (DC). Orderin g TTL points for your Remote Power Switch (DC) does not add to the cost of the u nit What you can do wit h the con f igurat ion software is cha nge any al arm point f rom "Normal " to "Reversed"

ope ration . Swi t chi ng to Reversed o perati on has di f f erent e f f ects, de pending on the kind of inp ut connected to th e alarm po int:

· If the alarm inpu t g enerates an active-high sig n al, switching t o Reversed operat ion mean s the Re mote Power Switch (DC) will declare a n ala rm in t he ab sen ce o f t he activ e-high signal , creatin g the p ractical equiva lent o f an activ e-low al arm.

· If the alarm input generates an active-low signa l, switching to Reversed operation mean s the Remote Powe r Swi t ch (DC) will declare an alarm in the absence of t he activ e-low signal, creati ng the practical eq uiva lent of an a ctive-hi gh alarm.

· If the alarm input is norm al ly open, switching t o Reve rsed operat ion converts it to a normall y closed al arm point.

· If the alarm input is norm al ly closed, switching to Re versed operati on converts it to a normally ope n alarm po int.

Q. I'm unsure if the voltag e of my power supply is within the specified range. How to I test the

voltage?

A. Connect the black common le ad of a voltmeter to the ground terminal of the ba t t ery. Con nect the re d

lea d of the vol t meter to th e batter's VCD terminal. The voltmeter should read between +12 and +30VDC.

SNMP FAQs14.2

Q. Whic h version of SNMP is supp o rted by the SNMP agent on thi s unit? A. SNMP v1.

Q. How d o I configure the Remo te Pow er Switch (DC) to send traps to a n SNMP mana g er? Is

there a separate MIB for the Remote Power Switch (DC)? How many SNMP m anagers can the agent send traps to? And how d o I set the IP address of the SNMP manager and the communi ty string to be used when sending trap s?

A. The Remote Power Switch (DC) begins sending t ra ps as soon as the SN MP manage rs are defin ed.

The Re mote Power Switch (DC) MIB is included o n the Remote Power Switch (DC) Resource CD. The MIB sho uld be compiled on your SN MP manager. (Note: MIB versions may cha nge in the futu re.) The unit sup ports 2 SN MP managers, which are config ured by entering its IP a ddress in the Trap Address field o f Et hernet P ort Setup.
