Using the Toshiba MIB Passwords
RemotEye II provides the ability to change some UPS and RemotEye II parameters. These adjustable
parameters are protected by a collection of passwords. The three categories of MIB objects protected by
passwords are:
RemotEye II passwords; protected by upsPasswordAccess.
UPS configuration parameters; protected by upsConfigPassword.
UPS control parameters; protected by upsControlPassword.
Description
upsPasswordAccess – Member of the upsPassword group. This password must be authenticated
through an SNMP set before an NMS is allowed to alter other RemotEye II passwords.
upsControlPassword – Member of the upsControl group. This password, when authenticated through an
SNMP set, allows an NMS the ability to manipulate parameters in the upsControl group.
upsConfigPassword – Member of the upsConfig group. This password, when authenticated through an
SNMP set, allows an NMS the ability to manipulate parameters within the upsConfig table.
Manipulating Parameters With RemotEye II
All passwords protect the writable members of their applicable groups, or tables. An authentication of any
password enables writing its respective table.
For example, upsConfigPassword protects the writable parameters of the upsConfig table. Authenticating
this password enables writing ability to parameters within the upsConfig table. The next authentication of
this password disables writing ability to parameters within the upsConfig table.
The general progression for altering any parameters within a password-protected table is the following:
Send an SNMP set request of upsConfigPassword, or upsControlPassword, depending upon the group of
parameters in which access is desired. This prepares the writable parameters in the table for
modification.
Send SNMP set requests of all writable parameters requiring modification within the enabled table.
Send an SNMP set request of upsConfigPassword, or upsControlPassword, depending upon which table
contains the recently modified parameters. This action closes the table and secures the writable
parameters inside the table.
Manipulating Passwords of RemotEye II
It may be desirable to change one or more of the protective passwords sometime during the RemotEye II
lifetime. An authentication of upsPasswordAccess password enables the upsPassword group for
manipulation. The passwords included in this group are:
upsPassword
upsPasswordControlAccess
