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.
