SNMPWEBCARD is an optional network card that you can install in the accessory slot of a compatible UPS system, PDU* or cooling unit.
SNMPWEBCARD connects your Tripp Lite device to your Ethernet network as a manageable device that supports remote monitoring, remote control
and remote condition reporting. You can manage the device from PowerAlert Network Management System, an SNMP Network Management
Station, a Web browser or telnet. Remote access capability allows you to reboot, control outlets, shed nonessential loads, monitor load levels and
more. The SNMPWEBCARD can also send SNMP traps or email messages to the addresses you specify, alerting you automatically to events such
as power failures.
* SNMPWEBCARD is preinstalled in Tripp Lite Monitored and Switched PDUs, which can be identified by the presence of “MN” or “NET” in the model name. SNMPWECARD is also preinstalled in SRCOOLNET.
For instructions on hardware installation and basic configuration, refer to the printed manual that came with your SNMPWEBCARD or Tripp Lite
device. For instructions on loading a firmware or device driver upgrade on the SNMPWEBCARD, refer to the PowerAlert software release notes. The
manual and release notes can be found on the bundled CD-ROM or downloaded from www.tripplite.com/manuals/.
2.1 Saving Configuration Changes
While using PowerAlert, most of your configuration changes will take effect immediately so you can try out your configuration before committing to
it. The Web and Telnet Menu user interfaces will typically advise you if your configuration requires a restart to take effect.
In general, the configuration is not persisted permanently until you restart PowerAlert (or ‘reboot’ the SNMPWEBCARD). You should restart PowerAlert
when your configuration is complete and before testing configurations that simulate or nearly simulate a power outage. For your convenience, most
changes will auto-save after about 30 minutes of idle time. Changes to the network settings will not.
Restarting PowerAlert cannot cause equipment powered through your UPS or PDU to experience an outage and has no effect on the general
operation of your Tripp Lite device.
When used with a Tripp Lite UPS, during a power failure, SNMPWEBCARD
is pre-configured to shut down the UPS system two minutes after
receiving a low battery signal. This allows the UPS system to provide
the maximum available runtime to connected equipment. If you want to
change the default setting, follow these instructions and refer to Figure
2-1 and Figure 2-2:
1. Use a Web browser to open the PowerAlert console window for your
SNMPWEBCARD (see 3.1 Opening the Web Console for instructions).
2. Click the Actions menu Aand access the Event Actions submenu B.
3. Select Device Shutdown in the Device Shutdown Actions Csection.
4. Click the button on the bottom of the screen Dto add a new
action.
5. In the Name field E, type a name for the new action.

2.3 Other Default Settings
SNMPWEBCARD allows a compatible Tripp Lite device to function as an SNMP-managed device on your network, using the SNMP agent and
Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP agent resides in the SNMPWEBCARD firmware and responds to standard SNMP commands (Get,
Get Next and Set). It can also generate SNMP traps (messages). The MIB determines which parameters can be monitored and controlled. Two MIB
files—Tripplite.mib and RFC1628.mib—must be loaded on each Network Management Station that will monitor the managed device. (The files
are provided on the CD-ROM included with the SNMPWEBCARD or network-enabled Tripp Lite device. Consult your Network Management Station
software documentation for instructions on how to import MIB files.)
User Name The identifier of the user profile. SNMP version 3 maps Gets, Sets and Traps to a user profile by matching the user name
of the profile to the user name in the data packet being transmitted. A user name can have up to 32 ASCII characters.
Authentication Passphrase A phrase of 8 to 32 ASCII characters that verifies that the Network Management System (NMS) communicating
with this device through SNMPv3 is the NMS it claims to be, that the message has not been changed during
transmission, and that the message was communicated in a timely manner, indicating that it was not delayed and
that it was not copied and sent again later at an inappropriate time.
Privacy Passphrase A phrase of 8 to 32 ASCII characters that ensures the privacy of the data (by means of encryption) that a Network
Management System (NMS) is sending to this device or receiving from this device through SNMPv3.
Authentication Protocol The Tripp Lite implementation of SNMPv3 supports only MD5 authentication.
Privacy Protocol The Tripp Lite implementation of SNMPv3 supports only DES as the protocol for encrypting and decrypting data.
Public Value A field provided to enter a username/password hint for SNMPv3 Admin users. This SNMPv3 value is part of the SNMPv3
USM User Table.

Note: The Actions menu in the Web interface was formerly called the
Configuration menu. A few of the screen shots in this manual still depict
the content under the former name.
3.6.1 Actions
3. Web Console continued
Action profiles define responses to events and alarm conditions. The
action profile allows the response to be defined once and applied
to multiple alarm events. An action may be a response to the alarm
condition or a response to the condition clearing. Where appropriate,
the two actions may be the same.
You can configure action settings for several event types, including “On
Battery” and “Battery Low.” (Events vary by device.) You can configure
several settings categories that specify actions to be executed when the
selected event takes place.
3.6.1.1 Actions > Event Actions > Device Actions
Control Execution Actions
A control action is a device specific action that can be executed when
an alarm trigger occurs. An example of a control action could be that
when the battery age crosses the user defined threshold, a self test
is automatically executed to see if the battery in a UPS is still in good
condition. Since these are device specific, the control actions available
on devices will vary from device to device.
To add an action, click the [+] button to activate a row and enter the
appropriate data. To delete an action, click on the action that is to be
deleted and then click the [-] button and confirm the deletion and then
the [Save] button to commit the changes.
