in large UPSs. Contact Liebert Services at 1-800-LIEBERT (1-800-543-2378).
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death.
Service and maintenance work must be performed only by properly trained and qualified
personnel and in accordance with applicable regulations and manufacturers’ specifications.
Opening or removing the covers to any equipment may expose personnel to lethal voltages
within the unit even when it is apparently not operating and the input wiring is disconnected
from the electrical source.
Check the circuits with a voltmeter before beginning installation.
The Liebert IntelliSlot Web Card family delivers enhanced communications and control to Liebert
UPS, AC Power and Precision Cooling systems.
Liebert IntelliSlot Web cards bring SNMP, Telnet, Modbus IP and BACnet IP and Web-management
capability to many models of Emerson Network Power’s line of Liebert UPS, power and cooling
equipment. See Table 1 for equipment supported and Table 2 for communication protocols
supported.
The cards employ an Ethernet network to monitor and manage a wide range of operating parameters,
alarms and notifications.

1.1Web 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.
1.2Password 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 - Administrator and General User for details.
NOTE
Change the username and password today to prevent unauthorized access.
1.3SNMP 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.
Compatibility With Other Emerson Products and Communication Protocols
1.4Liebert 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 equipment information.
A downloadable edition is available online at:
nform.liebert.com
1.5Liebert 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
1.6Liebert SiteScan® Web With Modbus Support (Units with IS-WEBADPT Only)
The Liebert IntelliSlot Web/485 Card With Adapter integrates with Liebert SiteScan Web software
using Modbus to monitor trends for analysis and maintenance to ensure high-availability operation of
critical facilities.

a COM port on your PC. The configuration cable is available separately from
Emerson (P/N LIEBNULL).
2.1.2Prepare the Card for Configuration
• Use terminal emulation software, such as
Microsoft
connection to the card with the settings in
Table 3.
Table 3Communication settings
• Press the Enter key for the Main Menu, above
right.
• Select IP Network Settings, then Boot/IP Settings and follow the instructions to enter

For Liebert units with IS-WEBL, IS-IPBML, IS-WEBS or IS-IPBMS cards (see Table 1), the

The Event Log tab allows viewing events stored in the Web card’s history. This history is gathered
only when the Web card is installed and communicating properly with the device. The history is
stored in descending chronological order; Page 1 Item 1 contains the most recent event.
The list of events includes:
1. The time and date of the event—This is either the local time and date (if the network time
synchronization is working properly) or the time-delta from when the card was first powered on (if
no network time synchronization has taken place).
2. The event ID—This is the index number given to events since the start of the history.
3. The event text—Text stating the type of event and how the card reacted.
