Free Downloadable software from our website All communication software from Marathon Power is available for free and is downloadable from our website at https://marathon-power.com/ups-communication-and-control and by contacting Marathon Power at support@marathon-power.com Netility is MegaTec's configuration software. It searches for all the available MegaTec SNMP cards on your local area network.
SNMP Card Installation* To learn how to install the SNMP card, please watch our one-minute YouTube video posted on our website at SNMP Web Card Installation — Marathon Power Inc. (marathon-power.com) Card LED Lights* Figure 1...
Eight Steps to Quickly Configure the SNMP Card* 1. Connecting to the SNMP card* The SNMP-CY54-04 has a static IP address of 192.168.1.51 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 The best way to connect to the card is by using an ethernet cable between your computer and the card.
2. Assigning the Card a Unique Name* Location: Configuration/SNMP/General/MIB System Figure 3 NOTE: Enter a unique ID/Name into the “System Name” field. The “System Name” appears in the subject line of the event notifications emails. The “System Location” only appears in the body of the email.
3. Configuring the Power and BBS Event Notifications* Location: Configuration/Email/Email Settings Figure 4 • The SNMP card must have an account to use to send emails. • Enter the email server and account information of the account. • You must enter a “Sender’s” email address to send email notifications. Suggestion: We recommend using a unique email account/email address only for BBS event emailing instead of a person's email address.
4. Entering the email addresses of the people who should receive the notifications* Location: Configuration/Email/Emailing for Event Log Figure 5 Enter the email addresses of the people you want to receive power and BBS event notifications. The Select button allows you to select which notifications are sent to that person. Available Event Notifications* Figure 6...
5. Entering the email addresses of the people who should receive the Daily Reports* Location: Configuration/Email/Email for Event Report Figure 7 Enter the email addresses of the people needing to receive a daily copy of the event and data logs as a CSV file. The data and event logs are also available for download using the card’s UI.
7. Connecting the card to the Local Area Network* Location: Configuration/Network/IPv4 Figure 9 Enter a unique IP address to connect the SNMP card to the local area network. Suggestion: Before changing the card's IP address, consider saving the current configuration as a master configuration 192.168.1.51 file;...
8. Saving and Restoring the Card's Configuration File* Location: About/Save/Restore Settings Figure 10 In the section Save Current Configuration, select Save to save the current card's configuration. But you can also save a master configuration file for "restoring" a configuration on another SNMP card of the same make and model.
Using the Configuration Software Netility* Netility is MegaTec's configuration software that allows you to configure some of the card’s settings and upgrade the card’s firmware. It also searches for all the available MegaTec SNMP cards on your local area network. It is downloadable for free at https://marathon-power.com/ups-communication-and-control.
Netility’s User Interface Explained* The Netility main page is divided into a function section and the Online MegaTec card List. 1. Online MegaTec Card List 2. Function Selection Figure 12...

Converting Battery Voltage into Battery Capacity Shown on the SNMP Card Figure 22 The BBS uses battery voltage to determine when the batteries are low and full. This section allows you to enter site-specific information for the SNMP card to convert the BBS's battery voltage into an approximate capacity shown on the SNMP card.
Page 30
BBS with energy for the load. The BBS uses this as its battery 0% point because this is what the BBS measures when AC power returns to the site and starts charging the batteries. Please get in touch with Marathon Power at support@marathon-power.com if you need assistance with these settings.
Maintenance* Figure 24 Line Qualify Options* Battery Charging Temperature Compensation* Battery Voltage Low Warning* External Fan On/Off by Temperature* Battery Test Options* Inverter On/Off (Output On/Off) When the BBS is in battery mode, the Inverter On/Off command turns off the BBS's output power to the load.
• The default levels are those specified by most Departments of Transportation. • Do NOT adjust the transfer points unless you have clear and consistent data that the BBS will eliminate a problem. After you have this data, please get in touch with Marathon Power at support@marathon-power.com...

Transfer Point Descriptions Some levels are interdependent; changing a value may cause other values to change automatically. High Transfer Point Setting Above the High Transfer Point Setting, the BBS transfers into battery mode. High Gap range 3-7. Buck Transfer Point Setting Above the Buck Transfer Point Setting, the BBS lowers the output AC voltage by 15%.
AVR Feature Settings* The BBS has a transformer with two secondary taps. Enabling Automatic Voltage Regulation allows the BBS to use its secondary tab to lower (Buck) or raise (Boost) the output voltage by 15%. AVR reduces the number of times the BBS transfers into battery mode. Connecting the card to the Local Area Network* Figure 27 IPv4*...
