Installation

2.1 Network Diagram

2.2 Hardware Installation
Internal SNMP Cards
Procedure:

1. Insert internal SNMP card to UPS slot
2. Use T568B network cable connect to network

2.3 Set Network Segment

For initial configuration, first we should set a same network segment before sign in web interface, since default IP is: 192.168.0.100, so network segment should be set as 192.168.0.XXX
2.4 Command “ping”
Before sign in the web interface, we can check the default IP address whether available in your network by command “ping”

Ping Pass

Ping Fail

2.5 Sign in Web Monitoring Interface

After completing the above steps, open a web browser (IE/firefox/chrome etc), input default IP address 192.168.0.100

Input user name and password , default user name & Password are both “admin”. (User name and Password by can be changed by setting)
2.6 Web Monitoring Interface
After entering the user name and password, the monitoring homepage will display the UPS current status and the user can commence the desired changes to the SNMP Lite configuration settings
