n Define any URL links to be used by the MasterSwitch embedded Web control.
The same diskette that contained the PDF copy of this user’s guide (PDUguide.pdf) also contains a copy of
APC’s MasterSwitch-MIB (as PDU.MIB). This MIB is compatible with APC’s PowerNet
™
MIB and MIB-II
compliant. Once the MasterSwitch-
MIB is loaded and compiled at an NMS, you can use the NMS’s SNMP
browser to configure and control the MasterSwitch:
1) Refer to your
NMS documentation to access the MasterSwitch using the NMS SNMP browser.
2) Step down the
SNMP browser’s MIB tree to select apc under the enterprises listing, then:
a) Select the
apcmgmt listing if you want to define trap receiver information or reinitialize the
MasterSwitch without affecting its outlet power.
b) Select the
products listing, then the hardware listing, followed by the MasterSwitchV1 listing,
if you want to define any other MasterSwitch-
MIB value.
apcmgmt OIDs
When you select the apcmgmt listing, the SNMP browser will present you with two categories of OIDs: APC
management control (mcontrol) OIDs and APC management configuration (mconfig) OIDs
Management Control (mcontrol) OIDs
The mcontrol OIDs allow you to affect the operation of the SNMP agent, as follows:
n If the MasterSwitch SNMP agent appears to be hung up, you can use restartCurrentAgent to restart
the MasterSwitch without affecting its outlet power.
n You can use continueCurrentAgent to continue using the current SNMP agent without restarting it.
Note: New SNMP agent code cannot be downloaded to a MasterSwitch. Therefore, the
loadAndExecuteNewAgent mcontrol OID option is not used.
Management Configuration (mconfig) OIDs
The mconfig OIDs allow you to define up to four NMSs as trap receivers, as follows:
Note: For information on MasterSwitch traps, see the MasterSwitch-MIB Traps section
provided at the end of this chapter.
n You can use mconfigNumTrapReceivers, a read-only OID, to find out how many managers are
currently defined.
n You can use mconfigTrapReceiverEntry OIDs to:
q Identify which of the four trap receivers is being defined (trapIndex).
q Define the IP address of the NMS that is being defined as a trap receiver (receiverAddr).
q Define the community name to be used in traps sent to the defined NMS (communityString).
q Define whether or not the defined NMS is to be enabled to receive traps at this time
(
acceptThisReceiver).
