SNMP WEB MANAGER SETTING AND MESSAGES

After selecting IP address of a given SNMP in Device List, there are two different ways to access Configuration Area:

1. Clicking Setting Menu and then selecting requested option. See next image for reference.
   
   This will display information related to selected IP address on the Configuration Area.

2. Clicking directly on requested tag in Configuration Area.
   

This is a direct access to desired setting area.
These are available setting areas:

Basic Info
Displays IP and MAC addresses of selected SNMP Card. See next figure for reference.

IP Setting:
Displays MAC and IP addresses of selected SNMP Card, as well as IP address details such as: Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS, as well as the SNMP assignment system (Automatic or Manual) and allows to change last parameter. See next figure for reference.

For DHCP Systems, Automatic IP Addresses: Each SNMP device obtains its IP address on start, no user action is required. This is default setting for SNMP Web Manager, and IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway can’t be changed in this mode, as they are automatically provided in LAN.

For Manually IP address assignment: In these systems, each IP address must be assigned by administrator level user.

In Manual systems, SNMP Web Manager Interface will display the following data:

• IP address: 192.168.102.230
• Netmask 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0

Next image shows where to configure the IP assignation to match LAN operation.

DNS Setting: To change DNS, follow this procedure:

• Type in DNS.
• Click on “Apply” button.

Establishing Communication in Static IP Network
If the network where SNMP Card is connected is a static IP network, then Network Administrator must assign an IP address to SNMP card, for being the one responsible for network safety restrictions. This is the Static IP Address assignation procedure for Xmart SNMP Cards:

1. Equipment with SNMP card (UPS, Solar Inverter, or ATS) must be ON

2. One PC with SNMP Web Manager must be connected to the SNMP card directly by a RJ45 cable, without passing thru any router. There are recent SNMP cards that can be detected though the network. For those cards PC can be connected to the network and try to contact the SNMP card.

3. SNMP Web Manager must detect SNMP card automatically. If not, a manual SCAN must be done. Scan process could take between 2 to 5 minutes. Repeat scan if necessary.

4. Select the IP shown in the left area of the SNMP Web Manager screen. See next figure for reference.
   

5. Open IP SETTINGS tab and select option: “Use a Static Address”.
   NOTE: If system does not allow modifications, SCAN again, and repeat previous steps.

6. Manually enter static IP address, Subnet mask y Default Gateway.

7. Click on APPLY button to save modifications

If SNMP Web Manager asks you for password, enter password: 12345678. Then select APPLY again to save modifications. System must show message: “OPERATION SUCCESSFULL”.

Once you know SNMP Card IP Address, there are 2 ways to monitor it:

• Doble clicking selected IP Address on SNMP Web Manager.
• Entering IP Address in your WEB Browser Address Bar.

Either way your WEB Browser will open a WEB Page to show SNMP Web Pro interface, communicating with identified SNMP card. GUI will change according to equipment SNMP card is communicating with.

This option allows upgrading SNMP card firmware.
First, click on IP address of SNMP Card to be upgraded, then click on “Online Upgrade”.
See next figure for reference.

FTP Server IP address:

• If applying upgrade from SNMP Web Server in LAN, FTP server IP address is IP address of current PC in LAN.
• If applying upgrade from SNMP Web Server in specific networking, FTP server IP address is IP address of current PC in Internet.

Browse Button: Allows selecting, in your computer, firmware file to be sent to SNMP card. Please keep this in mind:

• Firmware file name must have this extension: “.tar.gz”
• IMPORTANT: Disable FIREWALL and antivirus since they could stop the download process and SNMP card might get permanently damaged.
• Make sure you are communicating with the right SNMP card to be upgraded, confirming that IP address in your browser address bar corresponds to the card to be upgraded.
• To perform this process, you will be asked to log in as administrator.

After selecting the firmware file, the window will look like the next image:

There are three methods for online upgrade. Select the appropriate option according to what is needed:

• Upgrade the selected device: This option upgrades only SNMP card selected in the window.
• Upgrade all un-upgraded devices: This option only upgrades SNMP cards with Firmware version older than Firmware version for currently selected SNMP Card.
• Force to upgrade all devices: No matter what versions are used for SNMP devices listed in the window list; this option will upgrade all devices to the latest version used in the current SNMP device. See next figure for reference.
  

Upgrade Button: Click to send upgrade file will to selected card. Software will ask to login as administrator to start the upgrade process. Enter “12345678”. See next figure for reference.

Progress Bar will keep you informed about upgrading status and Output Window will show individual actions performed during the process. When upgrade is complete, Progress Bar will show 100% and Output Window will display the message “Upgrade is Complete”. See next figure for reference.

Notes:

• Password must be 8 to 15 characters long.
• To change password for ALL SNMP Cards, Old Password must be the same for all SNMP devices.
• Password can’t be recovered, therefore, if it is lost significant changes will no longer be available and SNMP Web Manager will have to be reinstalled to return to original configuration.

Static Trap Address

SNMP Web Manager allows defining 2 Static Trap Addresses and changing Trap Port. Default port is 162. See next figure for reference.

Each SNMP Card in LAN can manage 2 Static Trap Addresses and 8 Dynamic Trap Addresses.
IP Address of host cumputer runing communication software will be obtained by all SNMP Cards as Dynamic Trap Address.
If any Dynamic Trap Address remains inactive for over 10 minutes, SNMP Cards will automatically releases it and obtain a new Dynamic Trap address.
IP Address 1: Enter here first Static Trap Address
IP Address 2: Enter here second Static Trap Address
Select Device: Click this option to set Static Trap Addresses only for selected SNMP Card in SNMP Device List.
Select All: Click this option to set Static Trap Addresses for all SNMP Card in SNMP Device List, at the same time.
Apply Button: After entering Static Trap Addresses, click this button to send changes to SNMP Card.

SMS

SNMP Cards can send messages about alarms or events of equipment they communicate with (UPS, Solar Inverters, ATS). This section allows configuring a list of SMS recipient for selected SNMP Card FOR TEST PURPOSES ONLY. See next figure for reference.

Note: SMS can only be sent trough a GSM Modem connceted to secondary port of SNMP Card (B Port).
This is the same port to connect Environmental Measuring Devices (EMD), therefore sending SMS via serial port is not compatible with EMD. Pin-out for GSM Modem connection to SNMP card is shown in the next figure:

Cable not included. (PIN 2 to 4 / PIN 3 to 3 / PIN 5 to 1)

Please configure your GSM Modem Baud Rate as 9600 and make sure it is connected to SNMP Port B.
Please keep in mind that this setting is FOR TEST PURPOSES ONLY.
