Chapter 1 Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new SNMPWEBCARD. Your SNMPWEBCARD will connect your UPS to your LAN. This will allow you to monitor and control the UPS from any PC on the LAN, using either:

• SNMP protocol and popular SNMP network management platforms such as HP OpenView, IBM NetView, etc., or

• A Web browser.

SNMPWEBCARD System Requirements

• Tripp Lite UPS with a standard card slot.

• Ethernet networking environment using the TCP/IP protocol.

• SNMP-based management station such as:

HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli Sun SunNet Manager, Novell ManageWise

• Web browser supporting HTML frames, forms and Java, such as:

Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or later

• For “Terminal Mode” configuration, a terminal emulation (communication) package.

Chapter 2 Configuration

Your SNMPWEBCARD can be configured for use with many different LAN setups and for many different applications. This chapter explains the procedures and settings used in SNMPWEBCARD configuration.

Selecting an IP Address

You must choose an IP address for your SNMPWEBCARD before connecting it to your network. The IP address must be unique to the SNMPWEBCARD, and it must be in the same address block subnet as the computer(s) it will communicate with. For example, if the computer(s) it will communicate with are in the 192.168.x.x block, you might choose the IP address 192.168.1.1 for your SNMPWEBCARD.

Terminal Mode Configuration

Before your SNMPWEBCARD can communicate over your LAN, it must be assigned an IP address via terminal mode configuration using a direct serial cable connection and a terminal (communication) program. Other SNMPWEBCARD settings may also be configured in terminal mode.

Terminal mode configuration procedure is as follows:

1. Connect the “Configuration” port on the SNMPWEBCARD to the serial port on your PC or terminal (see Figure 1-1).

2. Configure the VT100 compatible terminal (communication) program with the following settings:

Setting Value

Baud rate 9600

Data 8 bits

Parity None

Stop Bit 1

Flow control protocol None

Table 2-1

(Note: Only follow Steps 3-4 if the SNMPWEBCARD did NOT automatically receive an IP address when you performed Step 1 above.)

3. Manually Configure SNMPWEBCARD

a. Disconnect Ethernet cable and remove the SNMPWEBCARD from the accessory slot.

b. Set the SNMPWEBCARD's jumpers. For most Tripp Lite UPS models, set to jumper position 1 (see Fig.1). For models listed below with their corresponding series numbers, set to jumper position 2 (see Fig. 2). Note: Series numbers can be found on the back of the UPS.

4. Configure SNMPWEBCARD in Terminal Mode

a. When the configuration main menu appears on your computer screen, you will be prompted to accept or modify current setting. Type M (modify).

b. A password prompt will appear. Type the default terminal password: TrippLite.

c. Reset Configuration to default values (Y/N) will appear. Type N (no) and press ENTER.

d. Network Interface Parameters will appear. You will be prompted with Should target obtain IP settings from the network? Type N (no) and configure the card to your networks subnets. If you do not know what IP address to give the SNMPWEBCARD, contact your system administrator.

Managing the UPS

e. Save settings. The card will then reboot; depending on the selected configuration settings, it will take 2-5 minutes for the card to become initialized.*

5. Prepare SNMPWEBCARD for Operation

a. Remove the cable connecting the SNMPWEBCARD to the computer.

b. Test network configuration by pinging the IP address given to the SNMPWEBCARD.

c. If test is successful, replace the UPS accessory slot plate and secure it with screws to hold the SNMPWEBCARD firmly in position.

* Or configure other SNMPWEBCARD settings as explained in this chapter.
