NetMan 204 implements a series of services based on the main network protocols. These services can be activated or deactivated according to requirements (see paragraph “Configuration”). A brief description for each of these is given below.
SSH
By means of a SSH client (available on all the main operating systems) a remote connection with NetMan 204 can be established to change its configuration (see paragraph “Configuration via SSH”).
To emulate a point-to-point serial connection through the network (TCP/IP protocol) in order to use special function service software.
NetMan 204 can send “Wake-on-LAN” command for remote computers boot.
Using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), is possible to configure the NetMan 204 and the status of the UPS can be monitored by means of a web browser without having to install additional software. All the most popular web browsers are supported.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication protocol that allows a client (manager) to make requests to a server (agent). NetMan 204 is an SNMP agent.
To exchange information, manager and agent use an addressing technique called MIB (Management Information Base). There is a MIB file for each agent, defining which variables can be requested and the respective access rights. The agent can also send messages (TRAP) without a prior request from the manager, to inform the latter of particularly important events. SNMPv3 is the evolution of SNMP and introduces new important features related to security. (See paragraph “SNMPv3”).
UDP
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a low level network protocol that guarantees speed in the exchange of data and low network congestion. It is the protocol used by the UPSMon software for monitoring and control of the UPS.
The UDP connection uses the UDP 33000 port by default but can be configured on other ports according to requirements.
- 9 -
The UPS status can be monitored by means of the standard network protocol MODBUS TCP/IP. Modbus TCP/IP is simply the Modbus RTU protocol with a TCP interface that runs on Ethernet.
The UPS status can be monitored by means of the standard network protocol BACnet/IP.
BACnet (Building Automation and Control networks) is a data communication protocol mainly used in the building automation and HVAC industry (Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning).
FTP
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used for file exchange. NetMan 204 uses this protocol for:
1.download of files of the UPS values and events history log archive (Datalog and Eventlog);
2.download and upload of configuration files;
3.firmware upgrade.
In both cases a client FTP is required, configured with these parameters:
•Host: hostname or NetMan 204 IP address;
•User: see chapter “Users”;
•Password: current password.
The connection can also be established using a web browser (all the most popular web browsers are supported), by inserting the hostname or IP address of the NetMan 204.
NetMan 204 can send a notification e-mail if one or more alarm conditions occur. The e-mails can be sent to up to three recipients and they can be sent for seven different kinds of alarm.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used to send the e-mails. They are sent to an SMTP server on port 25. For more details, see paragraph “Configuration”
NetMan 204 can send periodic e-mails with an attachment containing the files of the UPS values and events history log archive.
This service can be used to periodically save the history log archives.
The “Email” service must be enabled in order to send reports; the reports are sent to all the addresses configured for this service (for more details see paragraph “Configuration”).
- 10 -
NetMan 204 records the UPS values (Datalog) and events (Eventlog) in a history log archive. The data are saved to file in text format.
The format used to record the date and time is of the type: YY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS
The Eventlog service is always active and records all relevant UPS events in the ‘event.log’ file. The file can be downloaded via FTP or sent by e-mail using the “Email report” service. The data are saved in circular list mode, thus the most recent data are saved by overwriting the oldest data.
The Datalog service records the main data of the UPS in the ‘data.log’ file. The file can be downloaded via FTP or can be sent by e-mail using the “Email report” service. The following data are monitored:
•Input voltage phase 1
•Input voltage phase 2
•Input voltage phase 3
•Input frequency
•Output voltage phase 1
•Output voltage phase 2
•Output voltage phase 3
•Load on phase 1
•Load on phase 2
•Load on phase 3
The interval of time between one recording and the next (Log frequency) can be configured by the user (see paragraph “Miscellaneous Menu”). The data are saved in circular list mode, thus the most recent data are saved by overwriting the oldest data. Data for up to 256 different points of time can be recorded.
- 11 -
It is possibile to connect to NetMan 204 the environmental sensors for monitoring temperature, humidity and digital input/output.
The information provided by these sensors can be showed with the UPS monitoring and control software or with a web browser (the HTTP service must be active).
The values provided by the sensors may also be requested with SNMP according to the RFC 3433 standard (MIB files in the bundled CD).
•Temperature: detects the environmental temperature in °C.
•Humidity & Temperature: detects the relative humidity in % and the environmental temperature in °C.
•Digital I/O & Temperature: detects the environmental temperature in °C and features a digital input and a digital output.
It is possible to connect up to 3 environmental sensor to a NetMan 204 (for sensor installation please see the sensors’ manual).
1.Remove the cover of the UPS expansion slot by removing the two retaining screws.
2.Insert NetMan 204 in the slot.
3.Secure Netman 204 in the slot using the two screws removed previously.
4.Connect the device to the network by means of connector RJ-45 (see “Specifications for the cabling of the network cable”)

NetMan 204 can be configured via USB, via SSH or via HTTPS.
NetMan 204 comes provided as factory default with DHCP enabled and with the following services active: SSH, HTTP, SNMP, UDP and FTP.
In order to change the configuration of NetMan 204, you have to log in as admin (default password “admin”).
5
NetMan 204 needs approx. 2 minutes to become operational from when it is powered up or after a reboot; before this time the device may not respond to commands that are sent to it.
In order to change the configuration via http/https, you have to insert in your web browser the hostname or IP address of the NetMan 204 and then log in as admin (default password: "admin").
The HTTPS service uses TLS (transport layer security) in order to provide cryptographic security. However, the certificate used is self-signed and therefore the web browser may prompt a security alert; in this case you can ignore the alert and proceed with the configuration of NetMan 204.
Once login has been effected, you can browse through the menus to configure the NetMan 204.
In order to make a new configuration effective, it is necessary to confirm it (OK button for each configuration page changed) and then reboot the NetMan 204 (as required with a pop-up by your web browser).
- 13 -
To configure NetMan 204 via USB it is necessary to:
•Connect, with the USB cable provided, the micro-USB port with the USB port of a PC with Windows operating system.
•If not previously installed, install the USB driver (after driver installation, a virtual COM named “NetMan 204 Serial” will be present in device manager).
•Execute a terminal emulation program with the following settings: COMn (1), 115200 baud, no parity, 8 databits, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
(1) COMn = COM port assigned to “NetMan 204 Serial” by device manager.
•Press the “Enter” key of the PC.
•At the login prompt, enter “admin”.
•At the password prompt, enter the current password (default password: "admin").
During password’s typing, no character is shown.
Once login has been effected, the screen of the start menu is displayed. From this screen it is possible to access the various menus to change NetMan 204 settings (see paragraph “Start menu” and following paragraphs).
To configure NetMan 204 via SSH it is necessary to:
•Execute a SSH client on a PC connected in a network to NetMan 204 set with the IP address of the device to be configured.
•At the login prompt, enter “admin”.
•At the password prompt, enter the current password (default password: "admin").
During password’s typing, no character is shown.
For proper configuration of NetMan 204, you must configure the SSH client so that the backspace key sends "Control-H".
Please verify the keyboard options of your SSH client.
Once login has been effected, the screen of the start menu is displayed. From this screen it is possible to access the various menus to change NetMan 204 settings (see paragraph “Start menu” and following paragraphs).
- 14 -
In order to make a new configuration effective, it is necessary to save it in the flash memory; this action automatically reboot the NetMan 204 (refer to “Menu Save and load”).
Once login has been effected via SSH or USB, a screen like the following is displayed:
