Avaya S8700 Series - Configuring the SNMP Modules in the UPS

30 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8700 Series Media Server
Configuring the SNMP modules in the UPS
Note:
Note: These instruction apply only if using a new, Avaya-supplied uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) with a simple network management protocol (SNMP) module. Do
not use these procedures to set traps on a non-Avaya-provided UPS.
Note:
Note: Because the SNMP module is manufactured by a third party, we do not know
which brand, model, or firmware load the factory is shipping. Therefore, we
cannot provide specific instructions in this document on how to connect to and
configure the SNMP module. Refer to the documentation that comes with the
SNMP module.
Note:
Note: If the control network is non-dedicated (going over the customer's network), you
must make sure that the 162/udp port for input to server is enabled (the default is
disabled). Otherwise, the traps from the UPS(s) cannot be received. See
Enabling firewall settings
on page 47.
Make sure the CAT5 straight-through cables are connected from the UPSs’ SNMP modules to
the next available port on the customer’s network. For a connectivity guide, see Quick Start
Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700 Series Media Server (555-245-703). Make sure you are
plugged into the correct port on the SNMP module.
The SNMP module in each UPS must be administered so it reports alarms to the appropriate
media server when the hardware experiences problems. The module reports the loss of
commercial power and the depletion of battery resources.
The SNMP module requires a unique IP address, which can be a customer-provided one or the
Avaya-provided default one. At a minimum, the following items need to be configured:
● IP address (1 for each UPS)
● Default gateway IP address (1 only)
● Subnet mask
● Community name strings (get, set, trap)
Note:
Note: For the SNMP module to properly report alarms, the IP address for the UPS must
also be configured in the media server.
