the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at the user’s own expense.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the “Class A” limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the
Radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

1. Introduction
A UPS can be configured with either an internal or an external SNMP-32 card; this SNMP-32 card is then connected to
the network. The SNMP-32 card contains a MIB agent. The agent communicates both solicited and unsolicited
messages to the Network Management Station (NMS). Unsolicited messages are defined by the MIB and are built into
the agent for critical items such as AC power failure and low battery detection. The agent recognizes these critical
events and immediately forwards them to the Network Management Station. The network manager will immediately
notice the alarm and the flashing icon of the SNMP-32 card. By clicking on the icon, you will be able to see the alarm
messages. If nobody is present, the Network Management Station will shutdown the programs, the OS server and
eventually the UPS safely.
1-1. Features
The SNMP-32 card connects directly to your UPS. It runs an embedded Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
software agent. This agent responds to SNMP GETS and SETS and also forwards traps to designated recipients when
critical conditions occur within the UPS, such as the UPS going on battery backup mode during a power failure.

SNMP-32 card and the UPS
A UPS can be configured with either an internal or an external SNMP-32 card; then it is connected to the network. The
SNMP-32 card contains a MIB agent. The agent communicates both solicited and unsolicited messages to the Network
Management Station (NMS). Unsolicited messages are defined by the MIB and are built into the agent for critical items
such as AC power failure and low battery detection. The agent recognizes these critical events and immediately
forwards them to the Network Management Station. The network manager will immediately notice the alarm and the
flashing icon of the SNMP-32 card. By clicking on the icon, you will be able to see the alarm messages. If nobody is
present, the Network Management Station will shutdown the programs, the OS server and eventually the UPS safely.
SNMP-32 card and the RPM (Remote Power Manager)
When the RPM is connected to the network with the SNMP-32L card, the system manager could check each device’s
condition via a Web Browser. The manager could monitor and control the devices by simply inputting the IP address of
the SNMP-32L card. When there is an abnormal power condition the SNMP-32L card will send the trap information to
the system manager, and then the system manager can take the appropriate action.
SNMP-32 card and the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch)
An ATS can be configured with the SNMP-32 card; then it is connected to the network. The ATS is an Automatic
Transfer Switch with redundant input sources. The ATS can be viewed and controlled via a Web Browser.
SNMP-32 card and the CPS (Current Probe Sensor)
The CPS and the SNMP-32 card can be used to monitor the current (Amps) of 16 devices. The information can be view
via a Web Browser.
SNMP-32 card and the ENV (Environmental Monitoring)
A Temperature/Humidity Probe can be connected to the SNMP-32 card to monitor the temperature and humidity of the
surrounding environment. The SNMP-32 card is then, connected to the network to view the environmental conditions via
a Web Browser. When an abnormal condition occurs, a trap can be sent to the system manager and activated some preset action configured by administrator.

3. Setup-Procedure
This section will guide you through the Setup-Procedure of the SNMP-32 Card.
NOTE:
supports most Windows Operating Systems (98, 2000, XP).
The minimum requirement to operate the SNMP-32 Card is to setup the IP Address. The SNMP Utility
1. Load the SNMP Utility CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then open the ‘Install SNMP Utility’.
2. Once the installation is complete, there will be a ‘SNMP Utility’ group in the Windows ’Start’ Æ ‘Program Group’.
3. Click the “SNMP Utility” to initiate the SNMP Utility program (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5-SNMP Utility Group
4. Once the SNMP Utility is open, the SNMP Utility will search for the network adapter automatically, or, click on
Network Selection from the main page. The screen will display the network adapter that was located. Click on
the network adapter, and then press “OK” to return to the main page of SNMP Utility (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6-SNMP Utility: Network Selection
5. The SNMP Utility will then search for and display all of the SNMP-32 cards that are on your LAN. Select the
appropriate SNMP-32 card on the right side of the screen, and then click “Configure” or double click on the
appropriate SNMP-32 card to open the Configuration Menu (Fig. 7).
Fig. 7-SNMP Utility: Configuration Menu

6. Enter the IP address; the subnet mask and the gateway, then click OK or use DHCP or use BOOTP (Fig. 8).
Fig. 8-SNMP Utility: Set IP address for SNMP-32 card
7. There are two Security features for the SNMP-32 card (Fig. 9):
A. SNMP Utility Password (Not required):
Once the password is entered, the SNMP-32 card cannot be accessed without the correct password.
B. Management Protocol (Not required):
The HTTP port and the Telnet port can be changed for security purposes. When the HTTP port or the Telnet
port is changed, then the full IP address must be entered to access the SNMP-32 card.
Example:
Change the HTTP port to 81, and then you must enter the IP address (192.168.0.5:81) to access the SNMP32 card.
Change the Telnet port to 24, and then you must enter the IP address (192.168.0.5:24) to access the SNMP32 card.
