System Application
SNMP-SSL card is an interface between UPS and the network. It can obtain the status
from a UPS and issue commands to it. SNMP-SSL card 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 the SNMP-SSL card
through the network.

Chapter 2 Installation
To install SNMP-SSL card on a network you need a workstation running Microsoft
Windows (9x, Me, NT4.0, 2000, XP or later). If your network dynamically configures the IP
address, all you need is a workstation with a Web Browser.
There are three methods for setting the SNMP-SSL card’s configuration:
1. Set up via serial port
2. Set up via Telnet
3. Set up via Web Browser
Hardware Installation
Note: The SNMP-SSL cards are designed to be Hot Swappable, but there is a remote
chance that when Hot-Swapping the SNMP-SSL card that the UPS will shutdown.
MINUTEMAN recommends following steps 1 through 4 when installing the SNMP-SSL
card, but to hot-swap, skip to step number 3.
1. Turn off all the equipment that is plugged into the UPS.
2. Turn off the UPS and unplug the UPS’s power cord from the AC wall outlet.
3. Remove the Option Slot cover plate from the rear panel of the UPS.
4. Insert the SNMP-SSL card into the option slot and secure with the retaining screws.

Configuration through the Serial Port
1. Use the RJ45 to RS232 serial cable to connect between the SNMP-SSL card’s COM
port and the COM port on the workstation.
2. Set both the DIP-switches of the SNMP-SSL card to the OFF position (operating
mode) for configuration.

Control settings. To set up more restrictive access, you can use the access table to
add the IP address of the PC’s on which you wish to modify the access permissions.
Note: The configuration of Access Control Table is configured for HTTP and SNMP
HTTP Network Management. Access through Telnet or RS-232 is permitted only when
using the “Community Read/Write” password in Control Group. The community strings
entered in the Community String fields are visible only through the RS-232 connection.
The Telnet connection does not display the string. An asterisk “*” will be shown in the
field. If a “NotAccess” access right is associated with an IP address, the associate
workstation will not be able to display any information regarding the SNMP-SSL card,
even if the Community Read-Only string is entered.

After completing these settings, select “0” to return to the SNMP-SSL Configuration Utility
Main Menu.
The SNMP-SSL card’s configuration is complete, select “0” to end the HyperTerminal
session. Disconnect the RJ45 to RS232 serial cable from the SNMP-SSL card’s COM
port and the computer COM port. Connect the network cable to the Network port on the
SNMP-SSL card. Open a Web Browser and input the IP address to view the SNMP-SSL
card’s web pages.
Configuration through TELNET
1. Make sure that you have a TCP/IP network already installed.
2. Connect the network cable to the Network port on the SNMP-SSL card.
3. Run command shell (i.e. Windows MS-DOS prompt).
4. SNMP-SSL card will initially try to acquire an IP address from the DHCP network
service.
5. If the DHCP network service is running, type “Telnet <IP address obtained from
DHCP>” and then press enter. Now proceed to Step 8 below.
6. If the DHCP network service is not running, contact your network administrator to get
an IP address for you workstation that has the same network’s address as the
SNMP-SSL card’s default IP address. The default IP address of SNMP-SSL is
192.168.1.100
7. Type “Telnet 192.168.1.100” and press enter.
8. From this point, the configuration procedures are the same as the Configuration
through the Serial Port (start at number 7 on page 9).

Configuration through a Web Browser
Normally, the first time you use SNMP-SSL card, your workstation is unable to
communicate to SNMP-SSL card since they are not in the same IP subnet. However, you
may use the “route add” command to manipulate the network routing table in your
workstation in order to complete the SNMP-SSL card’s configuration. If the IP address of
the machine is in the same subnet as SNMP-SSL card, just run the Web Browser.
1. From a workstation running Microsoft Windows (9x, Me, NT4.0, 2000, XP, 2003 or
later) set up the TCP/IP protocol, if necessary.
2. Connect the network cable to the Network port on the SNMP-SSL card.
3. Run command shell (i.e. Windows MS-DOS prompt) and enter the following
command to add a routing condition:
Route add 192.168.1.100 210.67.192.147
Assuming the IP address of the workstation is 210.67.192.147.
The default IP address of SNMP-SSL card is 192.168.1.100
3. Start your Web Browser.
4. Enter the URL http:\\192.168.1.100 in the address box. The SNMP-SSL card’s home
page will be displayed.
