UPS SNMP HTTP AGENT

Chapter 1 Welcome
Introduction administration
WebPower can get hold of the status from and issue commands to the UPS. User
can use SNMP managers or Web browsers to manage the UPS through an
Ethernet.
WebPower also provides shutdown programs for different operating systems.
It issues a shutdown command in the event such as mains failure, UPS battery
low condition, UPS overload, UPS over temperature and scheduled shutdown.
All shutdown events are configurable by user. The shutdown software will
proceed to the automatic orderly shutdown to prevent the abnormal shut-off of
the clients or servers.
WebPower Pro Internal card version with 10/100 auto-sense fast Ethernet.
The internal card version (WebPower) is designed for UPS models, which
have the extension board slot where WebPower can be inserted and
connected to the UPS through the golden fingers as in Figure 1-1.

UPS SNMP HTTP AGENT

System Application
WebPower is an interface between UPS and the network. It can obtain the
status from a UPS and issue commands to it. WebPower supports two kinds of
protocol SNMP and HTTP for user access. Through the SNMP NMS and
Web Browser, user can obtain the UPS status, issue commands to UPS and
setting up WebPower through the network.
WebPower also provides shutdown software for various OS. The shutdown
software that runs under various O.S. can link to WebPower automatically
through the network and communicate with WebPower via a proprietary
protocol. WebPower will issue the shutdown command to shutdown software
in the event of AC failure, battery low and scheduled shutdown. Shutdown
software will then proceed to the shutdown process in order to prevent the
abnormal shutoff of host or server due to power events.

Chapter 2 Connect WebPower to the Network

What you need
To install WebPower on a network and change its default configuration, you need a
workstation running Microsoft Windows (9x, Me, NT4.0, 2000, XP or later). If your
network dynamically configures IP address, all you need is a workstation with a Web
Browser.
There are two methods for setting the WebPower configuration:
1. Set up the WebPower through the serial port
2. Set up the WebPower via a Web Browser

Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation of WebPower
1. Fasten the WebPower Pro to WebPower bracket.
2. Insert the WebPower Pro into the UPS slot.
(As Figure 4. See also the manual of the specific UPS for correct UPS slot
installation; the procedure for Installing UPS slot interface may differ from
one model of UPS to the next.)
3. Lock the screws of the WebPower Pro bracket.

WebPower Configuration through TELNET command

1. Make sure that you have a TCP/IP network already installed.
2. Run command shell (i.e. Windows MS-DOS prompt).
3. WebPower will initially try to acquire an IP address from the DHCP network
service, if exist, on the network.
4. Type Telnet <IP address obtained from DHCP> and press enter. Proceed
to Step 7.
5. If there is no DHCP network service on the network, contact your network
administrator to get an IP address for you workstation that has the same
networks address as the WebPowers default IP address. The default IP
address of WebPower is 172.17.XXX.ZZZ where XXX and ZZZ is the
last two pairs of the MAC address of WebPower in decimal.
6. Type Telnet 172.17.XXX.ZZZ command and press enter.
7. From this point, the configuration procedures are the same as the
configuration via RS-232.

WebPower Configuration through a Web Browser

Hardware Preparation of WebPower
1. Procure a workstation with Ethernet card on which a Web Browser is
installed.
2. Connect the network cable (twisted-pair cable) from the workstations LAN
port to an active 10/100-hub port.
3. Connect another network cable (twisted-pair cable) from the LAN port of the
WebPower Pro to an active 10/100-hub port. (Figure 2-17).
4. Set the WebPower Pro DIP-switches, the switches 1 and 2 are OFF.
5. Turn on the UPS and wait for WebPower Pro to boot up (around 90
seconds).

UPS SNMP HTTP AGENT

Manipulates network routing table in your workstation

Normally, the first time you use WebPower, your workstation is unable to
communicate to WebPower since they are not in the same IP subnet. However,
you may use route add command to manipulate the network routing table in
your workstation in order to carry out the WebPower configuration. If the IP
address of the machine is in the same subnet as WebPower, just run the Web
Browser directly.
1. Procure a workstation (Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4.0, 2000, XP or
later installed) and set up the TCP/IP protocol, if necessary.
2. Enter the following command to add a routing condition:
Route add 172.17.7.18 210.67.192.147
Assume the IP address of the workstation is 210.67.192.147.
Note1: Default IP address of WebPower is 172.17.XXX.ZZZ where XXX and ZZZ
is the last two pairs of the MAC address of WebPower in decimal.
Ex: Mac address = 00 E0 D8 04 0A 15 then the default IP = 172.17.10.21
Note2: See the Windows manual for detailed information on how to add a
routing condition to the PC.

1. Make sure that you have a TCP/IP network already installed.
2. If there is no DHCP network service on the network, contact your network
administrator to get an IP address for you workstation that has the same
networks address as the WebPowers default IP address. The default IP
address of WebPower is 172.17.XXX.ZZZ where XXX and ZZZ is the
last two pairs of the MAC address of WebPower in decimal.
3. Start your Web Browser.
Enter the URL http:\\172.72.XXX.ZZZ in the address box where XXX and
ZZZ is the last two pairs of the MAC address of WebPower in decimal, The
