Chapter 7: How to Manage a

MasterSwitch Plus Unit

This chapter describes how to use PowerNet MIB OIDs to manage (monitor, configure, control and test) a MasterSwitch

Plus unit. The MasterSwitch Plus unit has its own SNMP agent that allows you to use SNMP to manage the MasterSwitch

Plus unit or any of its eight relay-controlled outlets. A maximum of four MasterSwitch Plus units can be connected in a

daisy chain and managed via SNMP. For more information on how to manage the SNMP agent, see How to Manage

the SNMP Agent at a Hardware Device in Chapter 2.

To list the seven categories of PowerNet MIB OIDs that you use to manage a MasterSwitch Plus unit, perform the

following steps:

1. Select [products] under [apc].

2. Select [hardware].

3. Select [masterSwitchMSP].
