SNMP Adapter User’s Guide Chapter 3 Your SNMPWEBCARD allows a UPS to be managed by SNMP tools, using the UPS SNMP Agent and the UPS SNMP MIB. The UPS SNMP Agent is in the SNMPWEBCARD SNMP firmware. It responds to standard SNMP commands (get, get next and set) and will generate SNMP traps (messages) if configured to do so.
Chapter 4 You may monitor and control a UPS system with an SNMPWEBCARD using an Internet browser. The card generates navigable HTML pages. These HTML pages are updated to match UPS status every 30 seconds; the browser will refresh the displayed information automatically.
SNMP Adapter User’s Guide Menu Bar The buttons on the Menu Bar are headings. Clicking on a heading will take you the main page for that menu. If there are sub- menu options, buttons will appear in a frame on the left-hand side of the screen below the menu bar. Clicking on a sub-menu button will make it active.
Troubleshooting Alarm Status The Alarm Status frame monitors connected devices for normal or alarm conditions. This frame will appear at the bottom of every screen, providing a convenient means of notification when alarm conditions occur. (See Figure 4-2.). Figure 4-2: Alarm Status Frame Status—Indicates the severity of the alarm condition.

SNMP Adapter User’s Guide Loads The Loads Screen provides a graphical interface to turn on and off any controllable load segment or outlet on a UPS system that supports load management. For each controllable load segment, a representative on/off control will be displayed in the load table. If the UPS does not support individual load control, only one load segment will be displayed.
Serial Number—Provides a field for an asset tracking ID number, if required. Low Battery Warning—By default, Tripp Lite UPS Systems signal a low battery warning at 10 percent. Changing this default value to another number provides flexibility in setting actions based on a battery capacity other than the 10 percent.
