MONITORING SELECT ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT SERIES UPS AND FREQUENCY CONVERTERS VIA SNMP
SNMP Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol for exchanging management information between network devices. It is a part of the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol.
SNMP is one of the widely accepted protocols used to manage network elements.
A basic SNMP network consists of the following components
1. SNMP Manager: This is one or more administrative computers that monitors or manages single or multiple devices on the network. This is also known as Network Management Station (NMS), and it sends out queries to gather information about status, configuration and performance of external network devices.
2. SNMP Managed Device: A managed device also known as Network Element is an equipment or part of network that requires some form of monitoring and management, e.g. Managed Device could be Server, Router, Printer, UPS, etc.
3. SNMP Agent: An SNMP Agent is a software program that resides on the Managed Device. This Agent collects the Management Information from the device locally and makes it available to the SNMP Manager on request.
4. Management Information Base (MIB): The MIB defines what information is offered by the Managed Device. This is a commonly shared data or information between SNMP Agent and Device. MIB files can be considered as set of questions that the SNMP Manager can ask the Agent. MIB is a collection of information that is organized hierarchically.
A managed object also known as MIB object or an object is one of any number of specific characteristics of a managed device.
An object identifier or object ID uniquely identifies a managed object in the MIB hierarchy.
SNMP Commands:
The Information between the SNMP Manager & SNMP Device is exchanged through a set of the following commands
1. GET: The GET operation is a request sent by the Manager to the managed Device. It is performed to retrieve one or more object instances from an agent.
2. GET NEXT: The GET NEXT operation is similar to GET operation. It is performed to retrieve the value of next object instance in a table or list within an agent.
3. SET: The SET operation is used by NMS Manager to modify or assign a value of object instances within an agent.
4. TRAPS: The TRAPS are signals sent by Managed Devices to Manager on occurrence of an event in the Managed Device.

Notes:
1. This feature is optional. Units configured with Bypass option will report status as Inverter or Utility. Units without this option will report Inverter only.
2. Parameters shown are for typical 120VAC 60Hz configuration. Parameters vary based on actual voltage and frequency of the unit – consult your schematic for details.
Instructions to set up the IP address:
Note: The unit is shipped from factory with default IP Address 192.168.10.10
1. IPSetup a Win32 program utility is used to configure IP Address settings of a GRSL Unit.
Copy IPSetup program on C Drive of a computer. This computer should be on the same network as the Unit.
2. Power ON the Unit.
3. On the computer Click Start > Run > IPSetup.Exe
4. IPSetup program will automatically identify all the Units on the network.
5. Select the Unit that you want to setup from the list (i.e. the "Select a Unit" box). The default IP Address, IP Mask, and IP Gateway will appear in their respective text boxes.
6. Modify the text box fields as needed. Click the Set button (in the center of the IPSetup window).
7. Selected UPS or FC will be programmed with the new IP address.
8. Close the IPSetup utility when you are finished programming.
