1. Presentation 1.1 Check on contents The product is made up of the items listed below: A communication card. Solution-Pac UPS-management software on a CD-ROM. ◗ A special front panel for Galaxy PW UPSs. ◗ This installation and user manual. ◗ Three labels with the MAC address of the card.
1. Presentation 1.3 Functions The SNMP 10BT communication card is an agent for UPS supervision using the SNMP protocol. It provides a number of objects (MIB) on the Ethernet 10BT network and makes it possible for a number of different remote machines to supervise the UPS and protect computer data (orderly system shutdown). It may be used in all UPSs equipped with UPS BUS communications slots or in a MultiSlot module. 1.4 Overview Key: 6 4 1 2 3 1 Red Tx LED: - On: card energised.
2. Installation 2.1 Setup Position of the jumper for network-parameter selection 6 : 1 2 3 Personalised network parameters (default position) 1 2 3 Factory-set network parameters The SNMP communication card may be installed in either: ◗ A UPS (see figure 1). ◗ A MultiSlot module (see figure 2). The front of the card must be secured to the device frame using the two screws provided. It is not necessary to deenergise the device before inserting the card.
2. Installation Once the card has been inserted in the device, the red LED 1 on the front goes on, indicating that the card is supplied with power. ◗ When the card connects to the network, the green 2 Lk / Rx LED goes and stays on. ◗ The red Tx LED 2 and the green Lk / Rx LED 2 flash depending on the Ethernet traffic controlled by the SNMP card. ◗ Approximately 45 seconds following card insertion in the device, the card is operational.
2. Installation 2.3 Ethernet connections To take full advantage of the potential card performance, it is advised to use shielded cables equipped with shielded RJ45 connectors. Connection to a hub 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 If the SNMP card is connected to a hub, use a cable wired straight through. RJ45 RJ45 Straight 10 Base-T cable: Connection to a computer Page 8 - 51029486EN/AA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 If the SNMP card is directly connected to a computer, use a crossover cable.
3. Operation 3.1 MAC address - Default IP address 0080C8ABAA01 The label 7 on the SNMP card and the three other labels indicate the MAC address. The MAC address is made up of six bytes expressed in hexadecimal format. The format is 0080C8LLMMNN: ◗ 0080C8 is the manufacturer’s code (always the same). ◗ LLMMNN is the card serial number (always different). The default IP address of the card is made up of four bytes in which the last two are part of the MAC address. The format is 168.8.xxx.yyy: ◗ 168.
3. Operation 3.3 Personalised network parameters Personalisation may be carried out using the HWConf software from MGE UPS SYSTEMS. It is available on the SolutionPac CD-ROM that is supplied with the SNMP card (in the Emb/Hwconf directory) or on the www.mgeups.com site. For further information on advanced functions of the SNMP card: ◗ See the HTML documentation in the Emb/Galaxy/Snmp/Rel350/Eng directory on the Solution-Pac CD-ROM by doubleclicking the Start.htm file, ◗ See the MGE web site http://mgeups.
4. Troubleshooting The red LED 1 does not go on when the card is inserted: ◗ Check that the UPS or the MultiSlot module are energised. ◗ Remove and reinsert the SNMP communication card. The green LED 2 does not go on when the cable is connected: ◗ Check that the correct type of cable is connected (see section 2.3 Ethernet connections). ◗ Check that the hub or the computer are energised.
5. Appendices 5.1 Glossary IP address When the TCP/IP protocol is installed on a computer system, that system is assigned a unique address. The address is made up of four numbers, each from 0 to 255. For example, 168.8.156.210. MAC address The physical address of the card expressed in hexadecimal format. The decimal values of the last two bytes represent the last two numbers in the IP address. Agent Software in charge of managing one or more MIBs.
5. Appendices MultiSlot MGE UPS SYSTEMS module offering a number of functions: - connection of additional cards, - use of other communication protocols, - data concentrator for parallel-connected UPSs. NMS (Network Management System) A platform used to manage SNMP devices connected to the TCP/IP network. This platform is also called a Manager. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Application-level protocol providing network-management services based on the TCP/IP protocol.
