1. Introduction

TLNETCARD is an optional network card you can install in the accessory slot of a compatible UPS system. TLNETCARD connects your Tripp Lite device to your Ethernet network for remote monitoring, control and condition reporting. You can manage the device from an SNMP Network Management Station, a Web browser or telnet. The TLNETCARD can also send SNMP traps or email messages to the addresses you specify, alerting you automatically to events such as power failures.

1.1 System Requirements

• Tripp Lite UPS system with compatible accessory slot.

• Ethernet network that supports the TCP/IP protocol. Firewall ports 3664 and 3665 may need to be opened.

• One of the following options for remote monitoring and control:

• SNMP-based Network Management Station (such as HP® OpenView®)

• Web browser

• VT-100 Telnet and/or SSH Client

• For “Terminal Mode” conﬁguration only:

• Terminal emulation software program (such as TeraTerm Pro by Ayera Technologies)

• Computer with available DB9 serial port

Warning: Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to signiﬁcantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a ﬂammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

2. Installation and Conﬁguration

For instructions on hardware installation, refer to the printed manual that came with your TLNETCARD.

2.1 SNMP Conﬁguration

There are multiple ways to conﬁgure the TLNETCARD:

• TLNET Conﬁgurator: Use the downloadable program TLNET Conﬁgurator to quickly set up one or more TLNETCARDs over the network. Refer to Section 2.1.1 for more information.

• Web-based Interface: Individual TLNETCARDs can be conﬁgured over the network through their TLNET Super visor interfaces. Refer to Section 2.1.2 for more information.

• Telnet Mode: Conﬁgure the TLNETCARD over the network in text mode. Refer to Section 2.1.4 for more information.

• COM Port: If a network connection is not available, the TLNETCARD can be conﬁgured through its COM port. Please refer to Section 2.1.5 for more information.

Notes:

• When initially connected to the network, the TLNETCARD will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP. If DHCP is disabled on the network, the TLNETCARD can be accessed using its default IP address: 192.168.1.100.

• To ensure system securit y, it is highly recommended that the account and password be changed after the ﬁrst login.

• If multiple TLNETCARDs are installed on the network, it is advisable to change the TLNETCARD's default Host Name to avoid conﬂicts. Likewise, it is recommended to disable BOOTP/DHCP and manually assign a valid static IP address to the TLNETCARD.

2.1.1 Conﬁguring with TLNET Conﬁgurator

The following instructions refer to the TLNETCARD Conﬁgurator utility software. The TLNETCARD Conﬁgurator can be downloaded at tripplite.com/support and typing TLNETCARD in the search ﬁeld.

The TLNET Conﬁgurator utility (compatible with Windows 2000/2003/2008/XP/Vista/7) enables easy conﬁguration and ﬁrmware upgrade of one or more TLNETCARDs. Follow the instructions below:

Step 1: Use a Cat5 cable to connect the TLNETCARD’s Network port to the network.

Step 2: Ensure the two DIP switches of the TLNETCARD are set to the OFF position (Normal Mode) to enable network

communication and that the workstation and the TLNETCARD are on the same LAN

Step 3: Once downloaded, launch TLNET Conﬁgurator.

Step 4: Click Discover to search all available SNMP devices on the LAN. A list of devices will be shown.

Notes:

• To search for SNMP devices in a different domain, change the Subnet and IPv4 IPv6 Preﬁx Length and click Discover.

• If the TLNETCARD cannot be found, verif y that UDP port 3456 on the workstation is open.

This function of the utility allows the conﬁguration of one (source) TLNETCARD to be copied to one or more (target) TLNETCARDs.

Step 1: Within the TLNET Super visor of the source TLNETCARD, go to System g Administration g Batch Conﬁguration and select the Download button in either the System Conﬁguration or the SNMP Conﬁguration window. The contents of the conﬁguration ﬁle will appear in a

web page.

Step 2: Select and copy the entire contents of the conﬁguration ﬁle.

Step 3: Open a text editor application such as Notepad and paste the contents. Save the ﬁle to a location where it can be accessed by the

TLNET Supervisor or Conﬁgurator (e.g. on the computer’s desktop).

Step 4: If required, make edits to the conﬁguration ﬁle, then save it with a .ini extension (e.g. snmp.ini).

Note: The conﬁguration ﬁle name cannot contain spaces, hyphens or special characters.

Caution: The Network settings, including IP Address, Mask and Gateway of the source TLNETCARD will be transferred to the target TLNETCARDS. To prevent a setting from being transferred to other devices, simply “comment out” its line item by placing a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line item. In the example below, the IP Address will NOT be transferred but the remaining items will.

Launch the TLNET Conﬁgurator and set the required network paramters (LAN, Subnet), then click Discover.

Step 5: The Account and Password ﬁelds for all target TLNETCARDs will need to be entered. If the cards all share the same account user name and password, skip to the next step. Otherwise, select each target TLNETCARD’s line item (not its checkbox) and click Modify to enter the credentials. Once completed, the line item in the Device List will show values in the Account and Password ﬁelds.

Step 6: Select the checkboxes of all the target TLNETCARDs, then click on Batch Conﬁguration. Click the Browse button in the pop up window, then navigate to and select the conﬁguration ﬁle saved in Step 3. If the cards all share the same account username and password information, enter those credentials in the space provided. Even if the default values will be used, they need to be re-entered into ﬁelds.

Step 7: Click on the Upload Now button. A notiﬁcation appears when the process is complete.

4.2 Batch Upgrade

This function of the Batch Upgrade utility allows a ﬁrmware ﬁle to be loaded onto to one or more TLNETCARDs. Firmware ﬁles will typically be downloaded from Tripp Lite’s website.

Step 1: Place the (downloaded) ﬁrmware ﬁle in a location where it can be accessed by the TLNET Conﬁgurator (e.g. on the computer’s desktop).

Step 2: Launch the TLNET Conﬁgurator, set the required network paramters (LAN, Subnet), then click Discover.

Step 3: The Account and Password ﬁelds for all target TLNETCARDs will need to be entered. If the cards all share the same account username and password, skip to the next step. Otherwise, select each target TLNETCARD’s line item (not its checkbox) and click Modify to enter the credentials. Once completed, the line item in the Device List will show values in the Account and Password ﬁelds.

Step 4: Select the checkboxes of all TLNETCARDs to be upgraded, then click on Batch Upgrade. Click the Browse button in the pop up window, then navigate to and select the ﬁrmware ﬁle saved in Step 1. If the cards all share the same account username and password information, enter those credentials in the space provided. Even if the default values will be used, they need to be re-entered into ﬁelds.

Step 5: Click the Upgrade Now button. A progress bar will indicate the upgrade status for each TLNETCARD sequentially. An information window will denote when the upgrade has been completed. Click OK.

Note: The TLNET Conﬁgurator will not automatically show the updated ﬁrmware version in the Device List. Exit, then re-launch the TLNET Conﬁgurator to conﬁrm the selected devices successfully uploaded the new ﬁrmware. The update can also be conﬁrmed in the TLNET Supervisor interface of each device in the Monitor >> About tab.

5. Modbus TCP

Beginning with ﬁrmware revision 01.12.05c, TLNETCARD supports Modbus TCP.

5.1 Conﬁguration

In the TLNET Supervisor interface, go to System g Notiﬁcation tab and select “Modbus TCP” from the menu. Select the “Enable Service” checkbox in order to allow up to 8 clients to access the TLNETCARD; leaving the box unchecked will disable TCP service. Enter the required ID and Port information, then click “Submit”. In the Remote List section, add the IP address and access level for each host, as required.

6. Troubleshooting

1. How do I conﬁrm the link between the TLNETCARD and the UPS is established?

If the link between the TLNETCARD and the UPS is correctly established, the yellow LED on the TLNETCARD Network port should ﬂash

rapidly.

2. I can access the TLNET Supervisor, but I cannot login.

Check the IP addresses of the TLNETCARD and the workstation on which you are trying to log in. By default, they must be within the same

LAN. To enable external connections, launch the TLNET Conﬁgurator and for that device’s conﬁguration, change User Limitation to Allow Any, as shown below.

3. I am unable to connect to the TLNETCARD via its Host Name

If you just assigned a new static IP address to the TLNETCARD, you may need to refresh the NetBIOS table so that it corresponds with the

new setting. Although Windows updates its NetBIOS table periodically, you can manually force it to refresh by entering nbtstat –R in DOS prompt mode. After that, you should be able to connect to the TLNETCARD its Host Name. Ensure that the Host Name assigned to the TLNETCARD does not exceed 16 bytes.

4. I am unable to ping the TLNETCARD from my workstation

If the SNMP IPv6 is non-responsive, check the following:

a) If the green LED on the TLNETCARD’s Network port is off, check that the network cable is correctly connected from the TLNETCARD to

the network equipment.

b) If the green LED is on, the current IP address may be unreachable. Manually assign a valid IP address to the TLNETCARD.

c) If the green LED ﬂashes and your network conﬁguration includes a DHCP server, verify that the DHCP service is working properly.

Otherwise, verify that the IP address is not already assigned to another device on the network. Note that if the current conﬁguration is not useable, the TLNETCARD will reset to default IP settings (IPv4 address: 192.168.1.100/ net mask: 255.255.255.0/ gateway:

192.168.1.254).

d) If the problem persists, use a network cable to cross link the TLNETCARD and the workstation. Ping the TLNETCARD’s default or assigned

static IP address. If the ping is successful, indicating that the TLNETCARD is working properly, check your network equipment. If not, contact your local dealer or service personnel for assistance.

5. I am unable to perform an SNMP Get or Set command

Refer to 3.3.2 Notiﬁcation to check SNMP settings. Verify that the workstation’s IP address is added to the NMS IP list with Read or Read/

Write (for Set) access. The community string on the workstation and the SNMP IPv6 must match.

6. I am unable to receive an SNMP trap

Refer to 3.3.2 Notiﬁcation to check SNMP Trap settings. Verify that the workstation’s IP address is added to the Target IP list.

6. Troubleshooting

7. I forgot the Administrator’s account and password

The Administrator’s account and password can be reset via text mode. Refer to 2.1.5 Conﬁguring through COM Port to establish a COM

port connection with the TLNETCARD. When the login information is prompted, key in rstadmin—for both login and password—within 30 seconds, then press enter. The Administrator account and password are now reset to the default (admin/password).

8. How do I generate a private SSL certiﬁcate ﬁle (in PEM format) for HTTPs connection?

To ensure a secure connection between the TLNETCARD and your workstation, you can create your own SSL certiﬁcate ﬁle. Download and

install the OpenSSL Toolkit from http://www.openssl.org. Launch Shell or DOS prompt mode and enter the following command to create your own certiﬁcate ﬁle:

openssl req –x509 –nodes –days 3650 –newkey

rsa:1024 –keyout cert.pem –out cert.pem

a) Answer the prompted questions. Proceed with the given directions. Once completed, a ﬁle named cert.pem is created in the current

working directory.

b) Upload cert.pem to the TLNET Supervisor. Please refer to 3.3.1 Administration, Web.

9. How do I generate DSA, RSA and Public keys for SSH?

For Linux:

a) Download and install OpenSSH from http://www.openssh.org.

b) Launch Shell and enter the following commands to create your own keys (ignore the prompt to provide a passphrase):

DSA Key:ssh-keygen –t dsa

RSA Key:ssh-keygen –t rsa

c) Upload DSA and RSA keys to the InsightPower SNMP IPv6 for UPS Web. Please refer to 5-3-1 Administration – Console for more

information.

For Windows:

a) Download and install PuTT Y from http://www.putty.org.

b) Run puttygen.exe from the installed directory.

c) Select SSH-2 RSA from the Parameters area and click Key g Generate key pair to generate a RSA key.

d) Click Conversions g Export OpenSSH Key and assign a ﬁlename to the RSA key. Ignore the prompt to provide key passphrase.

e) Select SSH-2 DSA from the Parameters, clickt Key g Generate key pair to generate a DSA key.

f) Click Conversions g Export OpenSSH Key and assign a ﬁlename to the DSA key. Ignore the prompt to provide key passphrase.

g) Copy the generated key from the text box, paste in a text editor and save as a text ﬁle.

h) Upload the DSA/ RSA / Public keys ﬁles to the TLNET Supervisor. Refer to 3.3.1 Administration, Console for more information.

10. How do I upload a conﬁguration / ﬁrmware / key ﬁles via SSH/ SF TP?

For quick conﬁguration of the TLNETCARD, the ﬁles can be uploaded via SSH/ SFTP. The TLNETCARD automatically imports your settings

after the ﬁles are uploaded to the designated directories. Refer to the following table:

Directory Files

\conﬁg _snmp snmp.ini

\conﬁg _system conﬁgure.ini

\ssh_dsa DSA key

\ssh_rsa RSA key

\ssh_pubkey Public key

\upgrade_snmp SNMP IPv6’s ﬁrmware upgrade package (binary)

\upgrade_device* Device’s ﬁrmware upgrade package (binary)

*Appears on speciﬁc devices only.

Upload ﬁles to their respective directories. Make sure the ﬁlenames do not contain non-English characters to avoid read error. Overwrite

existing ﬁles if prompted by your SFTP client.
