Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a “Class A” digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications.
1. Introduction A UPS can be configured with either an internal or an external SNMP-32 card; this SNMP-32 card is then connected to the network. The SNMP-32 card contains a MIB agent. The agent communicates both solicited and unsolicited messages to the Network Management Station (NMS). Unsolicited messages are defined by the MIB and are built into the agent for critical items such as AC power failure and low battery detection.

External SNMP-32 card Package Contents (SNMP-32L Only) The external adaptor is used to connect the SNMP-32L card to the UPS, when the UPS does not have an option slot. The contents of the package are: U U U U U External Adaptor Box Power Adaptor DB9 Male-to-Female Serial Cable SNMP-32 Card CD 1-3. Applications SNMP-32 card and the UPS A UPS can be configured with either an internal or an external SNMP-32 card; then it is connected to the network. The SNMP-32 card contains a MIB agent.
2. Installation Procedure This section will guide you through installing the Internal and the External SNMP-32 card. UPS Internal SNMP Fig. 3-Internal SNMP-32 Card Internal SNMP-32 card NOTE: The SNMP-32 cards are designed to be Hot Swappable, but there is a remote chance that when Hot-Swapping the SNMP-32 card that the UPS will shutdown. MINUTEMAN recommends following steps 1 through 9 when installing the SNMP-32 card, but to hot-swap, skip to step number 3 and omit steps 7, 8. 1.
3. Setup-Procedure This section will guide you through the Setup-Procedure of the SNMP-32 Card. NOTE: The minimum requirement to operate the SNMP-32 Card is to setup the IP Address. The SNMP Utility supports most Windows Operating Systems (98, 2000, XP). 1. Load the SNMP Utility CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then open the ‘Install SNMP Utility’. 2. Once the installation is complete, there will be a ‘SNMP Utility’ group in the Windows ’Start’ 3.

8. Configuring the NMS To complete the SNMP-32 card installation and configuration process, you must compile the necessary MIBs to configure the NMS. Most NMS with a MIB compiler can manage the SNMP-32 card. For instructions on how to compile MIBs for the most popular NMS—HP OpenView Network Node Manager and SunConnect SunNet Manager, see the corresponding heading below. General Network Management Stations Follow these general procedures to configure an NMS: 1. Compile the device MIBs. 2.
9. Appendix This section discusses: Communities, Gateways, IP Addresses, and Subnet masking. Communities A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identifies a user group with the same access privileges. For example, a common community name is “public.” For security purposes, the SNMP agent validates requests before responding. The agent can be configured so that only trap managers that are members of a community can send requests and receive responses from a particular community.
A subnet mask is a 32-bit value that distinguishes the network ID from the host ID for different sub-networks on the same logical network. Like IP addresses, subnet masks consist of four octets in dotted decimal notation. You can use subnet masks to route and filter the transmission of IP packets among your sub-networks. The value “255” is assigned to octets that belong to the network ID, and the value “0” is assigned to octets that belong to the host ID.
10. Troubleshooting Problem: Solution: Solution: Solution: The NMS cannot ping the SNMP-32 card. Make sure the network connection to the SNMP-32 card is good. Make sure the cable is in good condition. Make sure to set the Community String. Name the community with any lowercase name. A UPS monitors a designated community. Make sure to set the Manager Table. Make sure the Gateway is correct. Make sure to Save after the Setup Procedure.
