3.9 Settings > Network Click the “Settings” menu button and the “Network” submenu button to display the Settings > Network page. Note: Any changes in the “TCP/IP” tab, “Telnet/SSH” tab or Web tab require the card to be rebooted. The “TCP/IP” tab (Figure 3-16) contains several network settings: • “MAC Address” is the unique physical address of the SNMPWEBCARD and cannot be changed. The address is also printed on a label on the surface of the card. An extra label may be included.
PAGE 11
3.9 Settings > Network (continued) The “Web” tab (Figure 3-18) allows you to enable or disable Web browser access, choose the HTTP and/or HTTPS protocol and set the HTTP port. HTTP (default setting) is the standard protocol used by Web browsers. HTTPS is a secure protocol that encrypts and decrypts data passed between the user and the SNMPWEBCARD. If HTTPS is selected, users can access the SNMPWEBCARD securely with HTTPS (https://x.x.x.x).
PAGE 12
3.9 Settings > Network (continued) As of Firmware version 12.04.0051, Tripp Lite’s SNMPWEBCARD supports SNMPv3 Gets and Sets. SNMPv3 Traps are not supported. The SNMPWEBCARD SNMP Tab displays an additional three tabs to configure SNMP access: A. SNMP Mode allows the user to configure what SNMP access is enabled or disabled. Note: Disabling SNMPv2 access will cause the SNMPWEBCARD not to function with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent or PowerAlert Network Management System. B.

3.10 Settings > System Click the “Settings” menu button and the “System” submenu button to display the Settings > System page. The SNMPWEBCARD has a real-time clock with a backup battery that keeps the clock running when the card is powered off. The “ConfigFile” and three “Time” tabs (Figures 3-23 through 3-26) allow you to set the date and time manually or to define a Network Time Protocol server for periodic network time synchronization. The time zone can also be specified.
PAGE 14
3.10 Settings > System (continued) Watchdog Tab The Watchdog tab provides the user the ability to set up timers that will reboot the card automatically if the Watchdog trigger is reached. This provides a mechanism to maximize the uptime/ accessibility of the SNMPWEBCARD. The Watchdog tab allows enabling/disabling of either the Ping probe or NTP probe. • Primary Ping Target: IPv4 address/hostname (requires DNS settings to be configured).

4. Telnet/SSH Console Most of the monitoring and control features available in the Web console (see Section 3 – Web Console) are also available in the telnet and/or SSH console. Accessing the SNMPWEBCARD through the telnet console is ideal for mobile or resource-limited platforms. Accessing the Telnet Console Open a telnet client and connect to the IP number of the SNMPWEBCARD. At the login prompt, enter the admin user name and password. (Telnet access must be enabled and an admin password must be defined.
