Introduction

1.2Web Support

The Liebert IntelliSlot Web card delivers Web management and control to Liebert equipment. All authorized users on your network will be able to view status information.

1.3Password Protection

Control and configuration capabilities are protected by a username and password combination. Optionally, status information can be password-protected. The default username is “Liebert” and the default password is also “Liebert.”

You can change the password using the terminal emulation, Telnet or Web interface. See 5.7 - Change Username / Password for details.

NOTE

Change the username and password today to prevent unauthorized access.

1.4SNMP Support

The Liebert IntelliSlot Web card enables SNMP management of Liebert equipment. To integrate the card into your SNMP implementation, compile the Liebert Global Products MIB on your network management station (NMS).

The Liebert Global Products MIB is included in this package on CD-ROM and supports both Windows and Unix file formats.

1.5Liebert Nform™ Support

Utilizing the SNMP and Web technologies built into each of the Liebert IntelliSlot Web cards, Liebert Nform will centrally manage alarm notifications to provide you with an easy interface to access critical system information.

A downloadable edition is available online at: nform.liebert.com

1.6Liebert MultiLink™ Support

The Liebert IntelliSlot Web card integrates with Liebert’s MultiLink software to provide unattended, graceful operating system shutdown of PCs, servers and workstations. The card can be monitored by MultiLink over the network, eliminating the need for serial cables.

For more information on MultiLink and a downloadable version of MultiLink software, visit the MultiLink page at:

multilink.liebert.com

1.7Liebert SiteScan® Web With Modbus Support - IS-WEB485ADPT only

The Liebert IntelliSlot Web/485 Card With Adapter integrates with Liebert’s SiteScan Web software using Modbus to monitor trends for analysis and maintenance to ensure high-availability operation of critical facilities.
