Introduction

The SmartZone™ Gateway EPA126 is a compact device used to monitor and control up to 6 PDUs and 12 multifunction inputs (temperature, humidity, voltage, and digital inputs).
The unit comprises both an SNMP interface and a secure web-based interface for mon­itoring and management. Some of the main features of the EPA126 unit are:
l Secure web management and configuration interface. l SNMP enabled. l 12 monitoring channels. l Monitoring of up to 6 PDUs. l Optional LCD Status module.

Remote Temperature and Humidity Sensing

The Gateway EPA126 has the capability to monitor temperature and humidity and raise alarms or take action if a user-configured threshold is crossed.

PDU Monitoring

The EPA126, via intelligent PDUs, allows around-the-clock monitoring of the electrical power environment of the rack.

Installation Requirements

l SmartZone Gateway EPA126 unit. l IEC mains lead (supplied localized). l Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network connection. l Network-connected computer system to setup the EPA126 Unit.

Rack Mounting

This section covers the basic 19-inch rack-mounting of the Gateway EPA126 unit.

Equipment Required

You need to supply a number-1 and a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the Gateway EPA126 unit.

Before You Begin

When determining where to install the Gateway EPA126 unit, please verify that these guidelines are met:
l Airflow around the Gateway EPA126 is unrestricted. l Clearance to the front and rear panels meet these conditions: l Front-panel LEDs can be easily read. l Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling. l AC power cord from the power supply can reach the AC power outlet and the Gate-
way EPA126.
l The 10/100 network cabling does not exceed 100 meters from the Gateway
EPA126 to the Network switch.
l Temperature around the EPA126 does not exceed 40° C. l Humidity around the Gateway EPA126 does not exceed 90%.

Installation Warning Statements

Note: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace or ser-
vice this equipment
- 12 -
SmartZone Gateway EPA126 User Manual
l To prevent the Gateway unit from overheating, do not operate in an area that
exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 40° C.
l Installation of the Gateway unit must comply with local and national electrical
codes.
l To prevent personal injury when mounting or servicing the Gateway unit, ensure
that the rack or cabinet is adequately secured so that the system remains stable.
l Circuit Overloading - Consult the equipment nameplate ratings when connecting
the equipment to the supply circuit to avoid overloading of circuits. Overloading cir­cuits can adversely affect current protection and supply wiring.
l Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of PDUs).

Rack-Mount the EPA126

Hold the Gateway EPA126 and attach the bracket to rack using two 12-24 screws.

5. Security mode:
l AuthNoPriv – In this mode, access is granted only if the NMS is authorized (has a
User Name and knows the password). The transfer of data between the gateway and the NMS is not encrypted in this mode.
l AuthPriv - In this mode, access is granted only if the NMS is authorized (has a user
name and knows the password). The data transferred between the gateway and the NMS is encrypted. The encryption uses a shared secret “Privacy Password” which must be set in both the gateway and the NMS.
6. USM Access privilege:
l Read Only - In this mode, the NMS user will have read-only access to the SNMP
MIB data objects.
l Read / Write - In ths mode, the NMS user will have read and write access to the
SNMP MIB data objects.

HID Reader

The SmartZone EPA Series Gateways include Smart Card readers that support HID 26 bit cards and HID Corporate 1000 cards.

HID 26 Bit Cards

For 26 Bit cards the Gateway interface must be programmed for nine digits.
These nine digits consist of the following:
- 26 -
SmartZone Gateway EPA126 User Manual
l 3-digit site code l 1 hyphen l 5-digit User ID code
Example: 001-21627
Note: The hyphen character must be input (it is included in the length).

HID Corporate 1000 Cards

Corporate Site IDs are not normally printed on HID Corporate 1000 cards. This is con­fidential to each organization. You will need to ask the security office of the organization or supply company for the Site ID code, which is a four-digit number. For 34 Bit Corporate 1000 cards, the Gateway interface must be programmed for 12 digits.
