Ports Definition

Description of the SNMP Lite (NML) network card ports:

• Ethernet Port: UTP 10/100M RJ45 Ethernet port.
• PW (Green) LED: Power status indicator. Constantly on means power connected well; no light means no power connected.
• S1 (Green) LED: Running indicator. Slow flash is normal.
• S2 (Green) LED: Not used.
• S3 (Red) LED: Device status indicator. Constantly on means connected well with UPS and have data communication; flash means disconnected or UPS communication failed.
• Gold Finger: Insert into UPS internal slot for UPS communication.

Hardware Installation

Procedure for Internal SNMP Cards:

1. Insert internal SNMP card to UPS slot.
2. Use T568B network cable to connect to the network.

[Image: Illustration of the SNMP card being inserted into a UPS unit, with a cable connecting to the network.]

Set Network Segment

For initial configuration, set a network segment that matches the card's default IP address (192.168.0.100). The network segment should be set as 192.168.0.XXX.

Command "ping"

Before signing into the web interface, verify the default IP address is available on your network using the "ping" command in your command prompt.

[Screenshot: Windows command prompt showing a successful ping to 192.168.0.100, indicating 4 packets sent, 4 received, 0% loss, and low round-trip times.]

Ping Pass

[Screenshot: Windows command prompt showing a failed ping to 192.168.0.100, indicating 4 packets sent, 0 received, 100% loss.]

Ping Fail

Sign in Web Monitoring Interface

After completing the network setup steps, open a web browser (e.g., IE, Firefox, Chrome) and enter the default IP address: 192.168.0.100.

You will be prompted to enter a Username and Password. The default username and password are both "admin". These can be changed in the settings.

Device Information

This section displays detailed device information, including UPS basic information, battery information, and rated specifications. Contents may vary based on user settings and the UPS's real-time status. UPS Manufacturer/Model/Version are provided by the UPS itself.

[Image: The NetmateLite Device Information page showing fields for Manufacturer, Model, Rated Output Voltage, Rated Current, Rated Frequency, Baud Rate, Version, Rated Battery Voltage, and Battery Quantity.]

Current Status

This menu displays the UPS's current running status. The Graphical User Interface clearly shows the UPS's operational state. Abnormal alarms will be indicated by text turning red.

[Image: The NetmateLite Current Status page showing UPS monitoring details like Input Voltage, Output Voltage, Frequency, Battery Capacity, Output Load, Temperature, and a Current Running Status table.]

Basic Information parameters displayed include: Input Voltage/Input Frequency/Battery Voltage/Battery Content/UPS Temperature/Output Voltage/Output Max Voltage/Output Min Voltage/ Current Load /Temperature and Humidity.

Remote Control

This menu allows users to perform UPS self-tests, remotely switch the UPS on/off, and restart the UPS.

System Settings

Basic Parameter Settings

This menu is used to configure UPS basic parameters, Baud Rate, Offline Times, Alarm Times, Inquiry Interval, Battery Quantity, Battery Type, System Date Time, and NTP server settings, which should be set according to the real UPS information.

Shutdown settings:

Configure the parameters indicated in the red rectangle to set UPS shutdown options. When the UPS is constantly in AC break or battery low voltage, it will shut down the computer and then the UPS. When AC recovers, the UPS will auto-restart, followed by the computer restarting.

Network Settings

Tested ntp servers

1. ntp.adelaide.edu.au (129.127.40.3)
2. US CO time-a.nist.gov (129.6.15.28)

Note: The time and date must be synchronized to a network time server (ntp) selected by the user in system parameters. On system start-up, the UPS will need to synchronize the time and date from the ntp server. During synchronization, the time and date will default to the factory settings, and you may receive event alerts with unsynchronized time and date.

This menu is used to configure the network settings: IP address, subnet mask, gateway information, and work mode of the SNMP Lite card.
