SNMP Serial & MAC Add.
COMPONENTS
There are four critical pieces of software used to monitor and control aspects of your ION UPS systems,
including:
WiseFind WiseWay
WiseInsight WiseClose
WiseFind
WiseFind is designed for finding and modifying the network connectivity of the ION F18L-Series UPS systems
attached to your network SNMP cards. Use it first to find the ION UPS systems you have on your network
and change the default IP Address (192.168.0.100) to a unique, static IP, Subnet and Gateway that are
usable on your network, or choose to have the IP assigned by DHCP.
WiseFind will also let you view the Serial Number and MAC Address of
your SNMP Card. If more than one UPS is installed, these are important
in identifying the device and its physical location on your network. Use
the “For Your Records” table on the previous page to make a note of
this information, which is useful later when setting up the WiseInsight
monitoring software. SNMP card serial numbers and MAC addresses are
found on stickers located on the card, next to the network port.
WiseWay
WiseWay is the HTML/Browser-Based monitoring of individual SNMP cards. Only web-browsing software is
needed to use WiseWay GUI on your computer. Navigate to the UPS’s IP address (or double click it within
WiseFind) to open the GUI on your browser. Once logged in, you can do many monitoring and control
functions of that single UPS. To get to the GUI of a different UPS, navigate back to the WiseFind application
and double-click the new device, or enter the other device’s IP address in your browser.
WiseInsight
WiseInsight is a multi UPS monitoring software for use with one or more network-connected ION UPS
devices. If you only have one or a few UPS systems, you may not need to use WiseInsight. If you have more
than one it is a very useful program. The software:
• Shows, collects and saves real-time and historical data, which can be exported to a database.
• Sends alerts by email, audible tones and pop-up dialog when there are system alarms.
• Manages the devices by area so you know where devices are located if problems occur.
• Supports up to 1,000 connected UPS devices on the network.
WiseClose
6
WiseClose is a “safe shutdown” software for your Windows PC or server. It monitors an individual UPS by
its IP address. If that UPS goes into battery mode or an alarm state, WiseClose will begin a user-defined
countdown timer. If power is not restored or the alarm is not cleared before the timer reaches 00:00,
WiseClose will issue a shutdown command to the PC/Server in attempt to have it shut down safely before
the battery is exhausted.
