If a Network Management System (NMS) is going to monitor the UPS, coordinate the
assignment of community names with the network administrator.
If an NMS is not going to monitor the UPS, set the community names to unique string
values.

SECURITY ALERT:
The Get and Set, community name strings are initially configured with default
SECURITY ALERT:
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 the defaults are left in place, they could result in a serious security
issue.

Setting selected traps (alarming)
If the control network is nondedicated (going over the customer's network), make sure that
the 162/udp port for input to server is enabled (the default is disabled). Otherwise, the
media server cannot receive the traps from the UPS(s). See
page 48.

Administering the SNMP module

Note:
Use the default addresses in the tables.
Note:
1. Connect the services laptop computer (RS-232 serial port) to the DB-9 connector on the
back of the SNMP module for UPS1 using the DB-9 to DB-9 serial cable supplied with the
SNMP module.
2. Open a VT-100 terminal emulation session on the services laptop.
3. Set the IP address for the UPS.
4. Set the subnet mask for the UPS.
5. Set the gateway address for the UPS.
6. Set the IP address of the trap receiver (media server) for the UPS.
7. Set the SNMP community name string for Get, Set, and Trap. See
(alarming)
8. When completed, disconnect the services laptop computer from the UPS.
9. Connect one end of a CAT5 straight-through cable to the RJ45 connector on the UPS
SNMP module and the other end to the next available port on the Ethernet switch for
Control Network A (CNA).
