The SRCOOLNETLX allows a user to communicate with and control Tripp Lite’s
SRCOOL12K, SRXCOOL12K and SRXCOOL12K(B) spot coolers as manageable devices
on a network accessible via Web browser, network management station, telnet, SSH
or command line.
1 - Preparation
1-1 Confirm Package Contents: In addition to this manual, your package should
include the following:
• Micro-USB cable for remote temperature sensing and configuration (part
number: 73176E), 12 ft.
• 100-240V AC Adapter with NEMA 5-15P and CEE 7/7 Plug
• E2MT Module and User Manual
• Velcro Strips
• Rubber Mounting Feet
1-2 Locate MAC Address: The 12-digit MAC address (000667xxxxxx) is located on
the SRCOOLNETLX.
1-3 Determine Network Installation Method: If your network's DHCP server will
assign a dynamic IP address to the SRCOOLNETLX automatically, proceed to
2 - Dynamic IP Address Assignment. If you will assign a static IP address to
the SRCOOLNETLX manually, proceed to 3 - Static IP Address Assignment. If
you are uncertain which method to use, contact your network administrator for
assistance before continuing the installation process.
2 - Dynamic IP Address Assignment
2-1 Connect the SRCOOLNETLX to the SRCOOL12K or SRXCOOL12K(B): Using
the dedicated connector A, connect the SRCOOLNETLX to the communication
port on the side of the spot cooler (see Figure 1 in section 3-3 ).

Installation
2-2 Connect SRCOOLNETLX to Power: Connect the AC Adapter Bto the
SRCOOLNETLX via the port labeled “DC Power” Cand plug the other end into
an AC power source (see Figure 1 in section 3-3 ).
Note: The SRCOOLNETLX must be plugged into a power source protected by a UPS or
Inverter/Charger in order to maintain communications during a power outage.
2-3 Connect SRCOOLNETLX to a Network: Connect a standard Ethernet patch
cable to the RJ45 Ethernet port on the SRCOOLNETLX.
Note: This port does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.
2-4 Discover IP Address: To identify the IP address assigned to the SRCOOLNETLX,
contact your network administrator and provide the MAC address of the
SRCOOLNETLX. You can also determine the IP address locally at the card. If you
do not already have the serial over USB driver installed on your PC, you can
download it from www.tripplite.com/support by typing SRCOOLNETLX in the
search field. Select the driver named “TL-cdc”. To install, follow the instructions
provided with the driver. Once the driver is installed and the COM port has been
assigned, start a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro. Configure
it to use the assigned COM port and use the following serial port settings:
115.2Kbps, 8, NONE, 1. Connect the USB cable to the PC and the Micro-USB
end to the Micro-USB port on the SRCOOLNETLX. When the login prompt
appears, login as localadmin / localadmin. When the Menu appears, navigate
to "3- Network Configuration", then to "1- IP Configuration". The assigned IP
address will display. After you have determined the IP address, proceed to
section 4 - Test and Configure.
Notes:
• Usernames and passwords are case sensitive.
• You may wish to request a long-term lease period for the IP address, depending on your
application.
• PowerAlert®Device Manager and the WEBCARDLX support both IPv4 and IPv6. The card
is set up by default to receive a DHCP address for IPv4, IPv6 or both. Receiving both
addresses allows connection to the card via either the IPv4 or IPv6 address.

Installation
3 - Static IP Address Assignment/Terminal Menu
Configuration Settings
3-1 Determine IP Information: The SRCOOLNETLX can support a single static IPv4
address (this requires setting the IP address, subnet mask and gateway) and/or
a single static IPv6 address. In addition, the SRCOOLNETLX can support a single
static IPv4 or an IPv6 DNS address that is required to be entered.
3-2 Configure Terminal Emulation Program: If you have not already done so,
download the serial over USB driver (TL-cdc) from the Tripp Lite website. The
driver can be found by going to www.tripplite.com/support and typing
SRCOOLNETLX in the search field. To install the driver, follow the instructions
provided. Once the driver is installed and a COM port has been assigned, set
your terminal emulation program to use the COM port that corresponds to the
USB port.

Installation
3-3 Connect SRCOOLNETLX to Computer: Using the provided cable, connect your
PC to the Micro-USB port on the SRCOOLNETLX.
Note: Self-adhesive Velcro strips are included for mounting the SRCOOLNETLX to the side of
the A/C unit. As an alternative, the included rubber feet can be used if the SRCOOLNETLX is
freestanding.
3-4 The card will display a Linux-style login after boot up. Login as localadmin /
localadmin to access the standard menu.
Note: Usernames and passwords are case sensitive.
3-5 From the Main Menu:
a. Select Option 3: Network Configuration
b. Select Option 1: IP Configuration
c. Select Option 3: IPv4 setting on Option 4: IPv6 settings
d. Select Option 1: Method
e. Select Option 2: Static
Assign the address, subnet mask, gateway, etc. Save your settings by selecting
"A" (apply). Choose “y” to restart PowerAlert now. Close your terminal session.
3-6 Remove Configuration Cable: Remove the configuration cable that connects
the SRCOOLNETLX to the computer.

4 - Test and Configure
4-1 Test Network Connection: After an IP address has been assigned to the card,
access it with a Web browser. Open Firefox or Chrome on a computer connected
to the network and enter http:// or https:// followed by the IP address. The login
screen for the PowerAlert Device Manager will display. The default username is
localadmin and the password is localadmin. After you enter the username and
password, the PowerAlert Status page will appear in the browser window. For
more information about configuration and operation of the managed device, refer
to the User's Guide located in the support section of the SRCOOLNETLX product
web page.
Note: When using the SRCOOLNETLX with the SRCOOL12K, SRXCOOL12K or
SRXCOOL12K(B), do not use the cooling unit’s manual control panel.

Installation
5 - Using E2MT as Remote Set Temperature Sensor
SRCOOLNETLX supports the use of one E2MT environmental sensor (included) to
control the temperature, rather than the AC unit’s default internal temperature sensor
in the return airstream. The E2MT sensor can be located in the area you wish to
control to the specific set-point.
5-1 Important Considerations When Using Remote Temperature Setpoint Mode
It is important to keep the following considerations in mind when using the
Remote Temperature Setpoint feature of SRCOOLNETLX:
1The temperature being used for controlling the status of the attached cooling
device is the E2MT sensor, NOT the return air temperature. The return air
temperature may be higher or lower than the temperature E2MT is reporting.
2The set-point displayed on the attached AC unit’s display panel should be
ignored when the SRCOOLNETLX is set to Remote Set-Point Temperature
mode in the PowerAlert Device Manager interface. The set point displayed on
the device display panel will be the minimum (when cooling) or maximum
(when not cooling) set-point permissible by the cooling unit.
3If the power button on the cooling unit display panel is pressed while in
Remote Temperature Set-Point mode, the mode will be canceled.

5-2 Configuring SRCOOLNETLX for Remote Set-Point Usage
To use the Remote Temperature Set-Point feature, ensure the E2MT device is
installed in the desired location for monitoring and also connected to the
SRCOOLNETLX A.
Note: SRCOOLNETLX is not shown to
scale. A self-adhesive Velcro strip is
included for mounting the E2MTHDI to
different surfaces, or use its built-in
magnet to attach to a metal surface.

Installation
From the PowerAlert Device Manager Interface, turn ON the cooling unit by
selecting the Control menu. Under the Control menu, check the "Turn On Device"
option and click the activation button to the right. Next, navigate to the
Configuration menu> Device Settings Ato ensure the E2MT sensor is selected.
Under the Function: Device Thresholds drop-down menu in the box labeled
“Value”, type in the temperature set-point you wish the SRCOOLNETLX to target
Band press activation button to the right C. The set point control on the device
display panel will be overridden.

Installation
The cooling unit will now begin cooling when the temperature reading at E2MT
equals or exceeds the set-point value you entered. When the temperature falls
below this set-point, the unit will stop cooling. If the “Always On” checkbox is
checked, the fans will remain running when the unit stops cooling. If the “Always
On” checkbox is unchecked, the fans will shut off and the unit will shut down.
Once the temperature reaches the set-point again, the unit will restart and begin
cooling until the temperature reported by E2MT returns below the set point.
Note: This cycle will continue indefinitely until you select STOP from the PowerAlert Device
Manager interface.
