MPS web interface. Once an initial connection is made to the web interface, the user should assign a unique hostname on the Network tab (see below), so that the name does not interfere with other SynQor MPS devices on the network.
3 Web Interface The web interface provides a portal to monitor, control, and configure the MPS. Some of the configuration options, such as those to setup the email and SNMP interfaces are only available through the web interface. The interface will work well through any common web browser, though different browsers may render with slight differences.
3.1 MONITOR Page The Monitor page is the default page shown when you point the browser at the MPS with no page specified. This page gives an overview of monitored parameters and configuration. The items that are displayed vary based on the installed options. For example, if the MPS does not have the auxiliary DC output option installed, the auxiliary DC output parameters will not appear.
The Monitor page (as well as all other pages) has a flashing green dot in the top right of the title bar which indicates that there is a connection to the MPS and the displayed data is continuously updated. If the connection is broken, the dot will turn red to indicate stale data.
3.3 NETWORK Page The Network page offers options to configure the MPS on the network. Changes on this page do not take effect until the user presses the Apply button at the bottom of the page. Configuration changes are stored in non-volatile memory. A status window at the top of the page shows the present configuration on the network.

3.3.3 DEFAULT ADDRESSES If DHCP is not enabled or available, the MPS reverts to the default addresses entered here. The default addresses are also used when the network interface first initializes and attempts to locate a DHCP server. DHCP can be disabled if the device is assigned a static address by the network administrator. 3.3.4 TIME SERVER If enabled, the MPS will poll a network time server to determine the actual clock-time.
3.4 ALERTS Page The Alerts page gives the user the ability to setup email transmissions for selected alarm conditions. The email engine uses SMTP, so the user must provide the address of an SMTP server to transmit the messages. The SMTP server will then decode the email addresses and route the messages accordingly. If no SMTP server is entered, the MPS will attempt to send the message via the domain of the email user selected.
3.5 SNMP Page The SNMP page configures the SNMP Interface (see Section 4). The MPS currently supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 messages. SNMPv3 includes options for encryption and authentication of messages. If authentication is required for the SNMP interface, it is highly recommended that the web interface also utilize authentication, see Section 3.3.5.
Page 12
3.5.2 SNMPv3 Access Control SNMPv3 messages reference a user which must be defined on the target device (the MPS). The messages may contain authentication or authentication with encryption. An authenticated message contains a password which establishes the identity of the user, but the contents of the message are readable to other devices on the network.

3.5.4 SNMP Trap Receivers An SNMP “Trap” is a message sent from the device (agent) to a monitoring computer. Traps that the MPS will generate are listed in Section 4.2. In general, the messages alert the monitoring computer of alarm conditions so that polling is not required to determine when action needs to be taken. The MPS allows the user to configure up to two receivers for MPS traps.
3.6 DEBUG Page The Debug page does not have a link from the other pages. Select the Debug page by loading http://synqormps/debug.htm (substitute “synqormps” for the selected hostname or IP address). The debug page provides a scrollable mirror of the RS232 serial interface. The user can also transmit ‘virtual’ serial commands by entering the commands and clicking the Send button.
SNMPv2 format, per the RFC-1628 specification. (SNMPv3 messages use the same format as SNMPv2 messages, with the addition of authentication and encryption.) 4.1 SNMP Exposed Objects In the following list of objects exposed by the SynQor MPS, the Object ID references the upsObjects prefix, which has the address 1.3.6.1.2.1.33.1. 4.1.1 upsIdent Group Object Name: upsIdentManufacturer OID: upsObjects.1.1...
Page 16
Object Name: upsIdentAgentSoftwareVersion OID: upsObjects.1.4 Type: String Access: Read-Only Object returns the SynQor assigned code revision of the communications card implementing the network interface. Object Name: upsIdentName OID: upsObjects.1.5 Type: String Access: Read-Write This field is a user assignable name available to identify this device. Default value is blank.
Page 17
Object returns the present source of output power. If the output is not presently on, the value returned will be 2 (none). If the output is enabled, the value returned will be 3 (normal). The other enumeration values are unused by the SynQor Agent. Object Name: upsOutputNumLines OID: upsObjects.4.3...
Page 18
Object returns the output voltage of the corresponding MPS output as a percentage of the rated output power of the device. 4.1.4 upsBypass Group The upsBypass group is not implemented by the SynQor MPS SNMP Agent because the MPS models do not contain internal bypass devices. 4.1.5 upsAlarm Group Object Name: upsAlarmsPresent OID: upsObjects.6.1...
Page 19
4.1.5.1 upsAlarmTable The upsAlarmTable (mpsObjects.6.2) contains an entry for each active alarm condition. Any given alarm condition will only appear in the table once. Object Name: upsAlarmDescr OID: upsObjects.6.2.1.2 Type: OID (object identifier) Access: Read-Only Object returns the object identifier for the alarm condition represented by a given entry in the Alarm group upsWellKnownAlarms.
Page 20
Type: Integer, {output = 1, system = 2} Access: Read-Only For the SynQor MPS, all commanded shutdowns disable the output, and do not power-down the MPS hardware. This object will always return a value of 1, indicating output-shutdown. Object Name: upsShutdownAfterDelay OID: upsObjects.8.2...
Page 21
OID: upsObjects.9.1 Type: Non-negative Integer Access: Read-Only Object returns the nominal designed input voltage of the device. The SynQor MPS is a universal input device (115 / 230 V) and this object will always return the value 115. Object Name: upsConfigInputFreq OID: upsObjects.9.2...
Page 22
The MPS also exposes a number of objects defined in the SNMPv2 MIB. Object Name: sysDescr OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 Type: String Access: Read-Only Object returns the SynQor model number of this MPS device. The value returned by this object is identical to that returned by the upsIdentModel object.
Page 23
Object Name: sysObjectID OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2 Type: OID Access: Read-Only Object returns the object identifier of the UPS MIB, 1.3.6.1.2.1.33. Object Name: sysUpTime OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3 Type: Timeticks Access: Read-Only Object returns the time-ticks value since the network interface first powered up. Object Name: sysContact OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4 Type: String...
Page 24
Type: Integer, {enabled=1, disabled=2} Access: Read-Write This object sets or returns whether the MPS Agent should transmit authenticationFailure traps when receiving SNMP messages with an incorrect community string. This setting is stored in non-volatile memory, and the default setting is enabled. Object Name: snmpEngineID OID: 1.3.6.1.6.3.10.2.1.1 Type: Octet String...
4.2 SNMP Traps The SynQor MPS SNMP Agent will issue SNMP traps as defined in the RFC-1628 UPS MIB. The agent will also issue an authentication failure trap when addressed with an incorrect community name. In order for traps to be transmitted, the SNMP interface must be enabled as described in Section 3.5, and the hostname or IP address of the intended trap-receiver computers must also be configured as described in Section 3.5.4.
