Chapter 4. Using the Web/SNMP card
This chapter provides detailed instructions for using the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP
Card that is located on the top left side on the rear of the uninterruptible power
supply.
Introduction
The Web/SNMP card is a network device for the uninterruptible power supply that
provides both SNMP and HTTP compatibility. The Web/SNMP card can connect to
a twisted-pair Ethernet network (10BASE-T or 100BASE-T) using an RJ-45
connector.
The Web/SNMP card has an integrated switching hub that enables three additional
network devices to be connected to the network without the requirement of
additional network drops.
With the Web/SNMP card, you can monitor and manage the uninterruptible power
supply in the following ways:
v Using a Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
v Using an Internet-ready cell phone or personal digital assistant (PDA)
v Using an SNMP-compatible network-management software (user-supplied)
The Web/SNMP card also supports remote monitoring and shutdown from
uninterruptible power supply-protected computer systems. NetWatch client software
that is used with the card comes on the Powerware Software Suite CD or at
http://www.powerware.com. The client software is available for the following
operating systems:
v Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, and XP
v Macintosh OS X
v Novell NetWare
v UNIX
v Linux
The operating systems in the previous list communicate through TCP/IP with the
Web/SNMP card and automatically shutdown the connected devices during
extended power outages.
In addition, the Web/SNMP card has the following features:
v Configuration from a serial port, Telnet, or HTTP Web browser.
v Management from a HTTP Web browser, Internet-ready cell phone or PDA, or
SNMP management software.
v E-mail notification of changes in the uninterruptible power supply status through
simple mail transport protocol (SMTP) using e-mail client software, a personal
communication services (PCS) phone, or alphanumeric pager.
v Supports Powerware (XUPS.MIB) and RFC-1628 Standard UPS
(STDUPSV1.MIB) management information bases.
v Firmware upgradable from a Microsoft Windows utility using a network
connection.
v Scheduling function to control uninterruptible power supply shutdowns and
startups.
