LAN Module Interface LAN LED Status Guide SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series RJ45 LAN Connection The LAN Module provides an interface between a computer network and the power distribution unit using the front RJ-45 jack. Communications between the PDU and a computer can take place via a Telnet session or SNMP manager.
LAN Module IP Address, DHCP, and Auto IP SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series The LAN module consists of integrated hardware and a network agent software program. These components provide the ability to configure, control, and monitor aspects of multiple units using a standard web browser. The network interface can operate using Telnet and SNMP.
27-0027-0111 Connections and Installation Device Discovery SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series The discovery tool “digi_dev_disc.exe” has the following: 1. “Configure Network Settings” is to configure the IP/Subnet/Gateway. 2. “Restart Device” is to reboot the PDU after assigning the new network configuration . 3. “Refresh View” is to search again.
Configuration Telnet Configuration Password LAN Module Configuration Using a Telnet Connection SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series Once the IP address is assigned, you should test the IP address configuration to be sure it works as configured. Prerequisite This procedure assumes that you have configured the device server with an IP address. Procedure Access the command line of a PC or other networked device.
Module to Factory Defaults SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series Menu option 8 restores all PDU and LAN module defaults back to the factory settings. This command will ensure that both the LAN module and internal PDU microprocessor are returned to identical communication settings. PDU with LAN modules should have all configu-...
Mode LAN Module Reflash Instructions SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series Select 9 to exit the configuration mode without saving any changes, or select 10 to exit and save all changes. All values are stored in nonvolatile RAM. The LAN Module will automatically reset, but the state of the PDU outputs will not be affected.
Operational Control of PDU Front Panel Menu Menu Navigation SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series The unit’s LCD is used to monitor incoming power and configure the software. The LCD has two modes of operation: Monitor or Menu. The system menu is organized in a top down tree structure. The unit has four buttons that are used to navigate through the menu system.

Networking Functions Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components: 1. Managed devices 2. Agents 3. Network Management Systems (NMSs) A managed device is a network node that contains an SNMP agent and that resides on a managed network.
27-0027-0111 Networking Functions Accessing the SNMP Interface SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series Interactions between the NMS and managed devices can be any of four different types of commands: reads, writes, traversal operations, and traps. • Reads - To monitor managed devices, NMSs read variables main- tained by the devices.
SNMP Security SNMP MAX and MIN Data SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series SNMP read community name SNMP read/write name You can access the SNMP settings using Telnet <unit IP address> 9999. The default username and password is “root” and “1234”, respectively.

Infrastructure Monitoring SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series This section addresses the loading and compiling of MIBS into Network Management Systems (NMS). Alternatively, you can consult the docu- mentation of other NMS on MIB loading and compilation. Below are the instructions for HP OpenView and IBM NetView, but you should still con- sult HP or IBM documentation, as the products may change.
Maintenance and Replacement parts Warranty SCI P/N: 72A-196BAREM Series 72A-190BQREM Series There are no user serviceable parts inside the PDU. In the event there is an electronic problem with the unit, please contact the factory. Under normal use and specified operation conditions the PDU is warrant- ed from the day of delivery for a period of three years. During this pe- riod, if the product should fail, the device can be sent back to the factory for repair or replacement at the discretion of Spectrum Control.
