SECURITY ALERT
The Get and Set, community name strings are generally configured with default values of Public and
Private, respectively. These community name strings function as passwords for their respective SNMP
operation. It is always a good idea to change these community name strings to something other than the
default values. If a Network Management Station is in operation on the network, whatever these values
are changed to must be coordinated with its administrator. If the defaults are left administered this could
create a serious security issue. For example, the default Set community name string, with it's widely
known value of Private, could be used to shutdown power to the UPS loads via SNMP message.

When completed, disconnect the services laptop computer from the UPS.

Connect one end of a CAT5 cable to the RJ45 connector on the UPS's SNMP module and the
other end to the next available port on the Ethernet switch for the control network.

For simplex reliability configurations use the following address and cable connection information:
•
UPS IP address / Subnet mask = 198.152.255.238 / 255.255.255.0
•
Default Gateway IP address = 198.152.254.202
•
Host Table trap receiver IP address = 198.152.254.202

IP address and subnet mask of the UPS. (defaults are 198.152.254.239, 255.255.255.0.)

IP address of the trap receiver. (default is 198.152.254.200)
Default Gateway address of the UPS is 198.152.254.201.
NOTE:
If a Network Management System (NMS) is going to monitor the UPS units, coordinate
the assignment of community names with the network administrator (see the filled-out
Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet). If an NMS is not going to monitor the UPSs, set the
community names to unique string values.
