Available assignments are “Ignore”, “Major”, “Minor”, and “Out Relay 1.” For information on wiring connections to these inputs refer to Section 3.9

The AP9617 is a web-based management product that uses multiple, open standards such as Telnet, HTTP, and SNMP to provide full management of supported devices. The following is a list of some of this Management Card’s features:

-Detects connection speed of 10/100 MB per second.

-Generates Email notifications for DC Power Plant events and system events.

The Management Card has two internal interfaces (control console and Web interface) which provide menus with options that allow you to manage the DC Power Plant and the Management Card. The Management Card’s SNMP interface also allows you to use an SNMP browser with the PowerNet® Management Information Base (MIB) to manage the DC Power Plant.
