CAUTION !
The DB9 and RJ11 port share the same GND signal.
Exercise caution when both interfaces are used at the
same time, particularly when connecting these interfaces
to non-floating ground systems.
NOTE: Although the console interface provides a full set of commands, access using the serial
connection is only needed for initial configuration when no DHCP server is available, or the IP-address is
unknown. The quick network configuration menu provides a simple interface for basic network
configuration. For all other settings the user-friendly web interface is recommended.
NOTE: Save the settings !
Apart from some network parameters, most setting are immediately active. However, the adapter will
revert to the last saved settings at reboot. Therefore, in order to permanently modify the SNMP/Web
adapter setting, remember to save the configuration after every change. This can be done:
• Pressing S on the quick configuration menu
• Entering nvsave at the command interface prompt
4.1.2 Configuration via the network
TELNET
• Launch a telnet client (e.g. on a PC running Windows, select Run from the Start menu and type
telnet <IP>)
• The default username (login) and password are ge and ge
• A command-line configuration interface is entered
WEB BROWSER
• Launch a web browser
• Enter the URL of the SNMP/Web adapter: http://<IP>/
• The default username and password are ge and ge
• Navigate the pages using the menu bar
NOTE: Save the settings !
Apart from some network parameters, most setting are immediately active. However, the adapter will
revert to the last saved settings at reboot. Therefore, in order to permanently modify the SNMP/Web
adapter setting, remember to save the configuration after every change.
The SNMP/Web adapter connects to the network using the following parameters:
• IP address identifies the adapter on the network.
• Subnet mask defines a range of addresses within the organisation.
• Gateway the node used for connection to addresses outside the subnet.
The adapter can be configured to obtain these settings automatically using DHCP or BOOTP protocols,
or to use static addresses (manual configuration).
4.2.1 Default configuration
The SNMP/Web adapter comes with a pre-configured MAC address, with the following format:
00:12:93:Fx:xx:xx 00:12:93 identifies the manufacturer.
x:xx:xx is a unique code for every adapter.
The MAC address is written on a label sticker on the SNMP/Web adapter.
The factory default configuration for the SNMP/Web adapter is using DHCP. Assign the IP address to the
adapter MAC address in your DHCP server. Then reboot the adapter in order to have it retrieve the IP
address. The adapter is now accessible and configurable over the network.
4.2.2 Reboot
Every time the network settings are changed, these become effective only after a reboot. The adapter
can be rebooted:
• Manually, pressing the reset button on the front of the adapter
• Using the console interface (either serial connection or telnet) by injecting the reboot command
• Using a web browser, selecting ‘Reboot’ in the menu
4.3 FURTHER INFORMATION
For more information, and in order to make full use of all advanced functionalities provided by the
SNMP/Web adapter, refer to the Operating Manual available on the CD-ROM
After the installation and configuration of the SNMP/Web adapter, the connection can be tested with a
web browser.
• Launch the browser
• Enter the URL of the SNMP/Web adapter: http://<IP>/ (e.g. http://192.168.24.14/)
• When prompted, enter username and password (by default, these are set to ge and ge)
• The SNMP/Web adapter home page will be shown
5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
If no answer is received from the adapter, verify the adapter installation, cabling and network
configuration. Check the Ethernet connection to the adapter by launching a ping command from a
workstation in the same subnet.
E.g. in a Windows system:
• Select Run from the Start menu
• Enter ping <IP> (e.g. ping 192.168.24.14)
• Verify that the SNMP Card adapter is correctly replying
5.3 FURTHER INFORMATION
For more information, and in order to make full use of all advanced functionalities provided by the
SNMP/Web adapter, refer to the Operating Manual available on the CD-ROM
In order to guarantee correct functional behaviour, the SNMP/Web plug-in adapter must be connected
to protective earth (UPS chassis). On SitePro UPSs manufactured before 2003 the square plates
(delivered with the 3-ph adapter kit) must be mounted – refer to the pictures below for the installation
details.
Note: Should the UPS be already equipped with the plates, please ignore this step.
