online help for detailed information about each menu selection.
Using the Web/SNMP card in serial pass-through mode
During normal operation, the Web/SNMP card controls the communication path to
the uninterruptible power supply and provides network-based access to
uninterruptible power supply data through the Web and through SNMP. You can
disable the normal operation of the Web/SNMP card and enable serial
communication in a pass-through mode directly to the uninterruptible power supply.
You can use serial pass-through mode for scenarios similar to the following:
v The uninterruptible power supply firmware requires a field upgrade and a 9600
baud serial port connection to the uninterruptible power supply is required to
perform the upgrade.
v You want to run a local copy of the Powerware LanSafe software and
communicate serially with the uninterruptible power supply.
Before
you begin, go to http://www.powerware.com/ to download a later version of
the Web/SNMP card firmware, if available.
To set up the serial pass-through mode, complete the following steps:
1. Change the dip switch positions on the Web/SNMP card to On and On. The
default is Off and Off. For the location of the dip switch, see the illustration on
page 27.
2. Press the Web/SNMP card Reset switch to restart the card in the serial
pass-through mode.
3. Using the DB9-to-RJ-45 cable that comes with the uninterruptible power supply,
connect the RJ-45 end of the cable into the COM connector on the Web/SNMP
card.
4. Connect the DB9 end of the cable into an available serial port on a workstation
or notebook computer.
5. You can now run applicable software on your workstation or notebook computer
and can communicate serially with the uninterruptible power supply at 9600
baud, 8 bits, not parity, and 1 stop bit.
Note: In serial pass-through mode, communication through the Web/SNMP
Ethernet connector stops and any existing connections, for example, to
NetWatch software clients or SNMP management tools, also stops.
6. When you are finished using the Web/SNMP card in serial pass-through mode,
disconnect the DB9-to-RJ-45 cable from the card and the workstation or
notebook computer.
7. Return the dip switch to the original settings.
8. Press the Reset button to restart the card.
