Chapter Configuration, Setting Value | Tripp Lite UPS SNMPWEBCARD

Chapter 2 Configuration

Your SNMPWEBCARD can be configured for use with many different LAN setups and for many different applications. This chapter explains the procedures and settings used in SNMPWEBCARD configuration.

Selecting an IP Address

You must choose an IP address for your SNMPWEBCARD before connecting it to your network. The IP address must be unique to the SNMPWEBCARD, and it must be in the same address block subnet as the computer(s) it will communicate with. For example, if the computer(s) it will communicate with are in the 192.168.x.x block, you might choose the IP address 192.168.1.1 for your SNMPWEBCARD.

Terminal Mode Configuration

Before your SNMPWEBCARD can communicate over your LAN, it must be assigned an IP address via terminal mode configuration using a direct serial cable connection and a terminal (communication) program. Other SNMPWEBCARD settings may also be configured in terminal mode.

Terminal mode configuration procedure is as follows:

1.Connect the “Configuration” port on the SNMPWEBCARD to the serial port on your PC or terminal (see Figure 1-1).

2.Configure the VT100 compatible terminal (communication) program with the following settings:

Setting	Value
Baud rate	9600
Data	8 bits
Parity	None
Stop Bit	1
Flow control protocol	None
Table 2-1

(Note: Only follow Steps 3-4 if the SNMPWEBCARD did NOT automatically receive an IP address when you performed Step 1 above.)

3.Manually Configure SNMPWEBCARD

a. Disconnect Ethernet cable and remove the SNMPWEBCARD from the accessory slot.

b. Set the SNMPWEBCARD's jumpers. For most Tripp Lite UPS models, set to jumper position 1 (see Fig.1). For models listed below with their corresponding series numbers, set to jumper position 2 (see Fig. 2). Note: Series numbers can be found on the back of the UPS.

4.Configure SNMPWEBCARD in Terminal Mode

a. When the configuration main menu appears on your computer screen, you will be prompted to accept or modify current setting. Type M (modify).

b. A password prompt will appear. Type the default terminal password: TrippLite.

c. Reset Configuration to default values (Y/N) will appear. Type N (no) and press ENTER.

d. Network Interface Parameters will appear. You will be prompted with Should target obtain IP settings from the network? Type N (no) and configure the card to your networks subnets. If you do not know what IP address to give the SNMPWEBCARD, contact your system administrator.
