4.2.2 Pairing with automatic acceptance (recommended if done in a
secure and trusted network)
Pairing with automatic acceptance of shutdown agents and UPS network modules is recommended in case the installation is done
in a secure and trusted network, and when certificates cannot be created in other ways.
STEP 1: Action on the Network Module
1. Connect to the Network Module
On a network computer, launch a supported web browser. The browser window appears.
In the Address/Location field, enter: https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the static IP address of the Network
Module.
The log in screen appears.
Enter the user name in the User Name field.
Enter the password in the Password field.
Click Login. The Network Module web interface appears.
2. Navigate to Contextual help>>>Protection>>>Agents list page
3. In the Pairing with shutdown agents section, select the time to accept new agents and press the Start button and the
press Continue. During the selected timeframe, new agent connections to the Network Module are automatically trusted and
accepted.
STEP 2: Action on the agent (IPP) while the time to accepts new agents is running on the Network Module
1. Connect to the web interface of the agent.
2. Detect the UPS Network Module with a Quick scan, Range scan or an Address(es) scan.
3. Right-click on the UPS Network Module when discovered and then Set as power source, Configure it, and Save it.
STEP 3: Action on the Network Module
1. Make sure all listed agents in the card ( Contextual help>>>Protection>>>Agents list ) belong to your infrastructure, if not,
access may be revoked using the Delete button.
2. If the time for pairing still runs, you can stop it. Press Stop in the Pairing with shutdown agents section.
4.2.3 Pairing with manual acceptance
Manual pairing provides the maximum security.
STEP 1: Action on the agent (IPP)
1. Connect to the web interface of the agent
2. Detect the UPS Network Module with a Quick scan, Range scan or an Address(es) scan.
3. Define the power source
Note: After that stage, the agent creates a client certificate. The power source could show a communication loss since the
current client certificate is not trusted by the Network Module.
4. Copy the agent certificate file client.pem that is located in the folder Eaton\IntelligentPowerProtector\configs\tls..
STEP 2: Action on the Network Module
1. Connect to the Network Module
On a network computer, launch a supported web browser. The browser window appears.
In the Address/Location field, enter: https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the static IP address of the Network
Module.
The log in screen appears.
Enter the user name in the User Name field.
STEP 1 and STEP2 can be done either ways.
