You will notice that information on the Web page is grouped in Tabs and Folders. The card organizes similar information together in folders, and similar functions in tabs. Tabs: Across the top of the screen are four tabs, monitor, control, config- ure, and support.
Connected Device Information Clicking between the monitor, contol, configure, and support tabs gives you access to folder lists on the bottom of the left pane. Although the folder list changes, depending on the tab selected, the top portion of the left pane remains constant.
Security By opening a connection to the OpenComms Web Card, you are able to do three things. You can Monitor, Configure and Control the UPS. The card allows any user with access to the network segment on which it resides to monitor the UPS. This means anyone on the segment can view the entire contents of the monitor and support tabs.
Monitor Tab When you select the monitor tab, you are presented with Connected Device: and Connected Device Status: on the top of the left pane. The Folder list is at the bottom of the pane under Device Information:. The first page you will see every time you open a new Web connection to the card is the Power Flow folder in the monitor tab.
Clicking on the Battery, Output, Input, Bypass (not supported in Power- Sure Interactive UPSs), or Internals folder replaces the summary data presented on the graphical power flow pane with a tabular view of the complete list of data points reported by the UPS.
Control Tab When you select the control tab, you are presented with Connected Device: and Connected Device Status: on the top of the left pane. The Folder list is at the bottom of the pane under Control Operations:. As detailed in the Web Security section, a Username and Password pro- tect the folders in the control tab.
Configure Tab When you select the configure tab, you are presented with Connected Device: and Connected Device Status: on the top of the left pane. The Folder list is at the bottom of the pane under Configuration Categories:. As detailed in the Web Security section, a Username and Password pro- tect the folders in the configure tab.
SNMP Clicking on the SNMP folder allows you to enable authentication traps. Clicking on the Access or Traps folder allows you to configure the devices you want to have access to the card via SNMP and devices you want to receive traps from the card. The Access folder is shown below: As you are adding communities, you need to consider access rights.
Configure Tab - Making and Saving Configurations Similar to configuring the card using the Service Terminal, every time you make a configuration change, the card will have “save and reboot” for that change to take effect.
Configure Tab - After Reinitialization Once card reinitialization is selected and confirmed, the card is unavail- able on the network. As the card reboots, it first begins communicating on the network and it will begin communicating with the UPS in which it is installed.
Support Tab When you select the support tab, you are presented with Connected Device: and Connected Device Status: on the top of the left pane. A sin- gle device list is at the bottom of the pane under Support:.
The OpenComms Web Card utilizes a SNMPv1 agent and is MIB-II com- pliant. The card supports the open standard UPS MIB RFC1628, with additional functionality and support through the Liebert Global Products MIB. A copy of the Liebert Global Products MIB is included on the CD included with your purchase.
MultiLink Support The most frequently asked question about configuring MultiLink to moni- tor a SNMP device, like the OpenComms Web Card, across the network is, what community string do I use? NOTE: Use the community string LiebertEM for MultiLink.
