This menu option allows you to enable the HSTC to receive SNMP messages
from an APC® Smart-UPS® model UPS that has a Network Management Card or
a Tripp Lite® SmartPro®/SmartOnline™ model UPS that has an
SNMPWEBCARD. You can configure the UPS to send messages to the HSTC
when the power fails, enabling the HSTC to automatically shut itself down cleanly.
By enabling this option, you allow the miSAN-V-Series to take the following
actions in response to the UPS power events:

but prepared for shutting down quickly.

ensuring the safety of saved data.

You must configure the Network Management Card’s network parameters so the
Smart-UPS can communicate with the miSAN-V-Series. Under “Network” >
“SNMP”, set “Access” to “Enabled”. Under “Events” > “Recipients > “Trap Receiv-
ers”, enter the following information:

Receiver NMS IP/Domain Name [IP address of miSAN-V-Series]

computer system.

The miSAN-V-Series does not authenticate the UPS, so enabling this
option enables anyone capable of sending SNMP messages on your
network to shut down the miSAN remotely.
