After the SNMP service has been installed you have to configure the SNMP service via the
control panel icon
Administrative Tools/Services
. Enter the community string of your
management station and the address of the trap target and enter the system group.

SNMP Service Properties
Enable the „Accept SNMP packets from any host“ feature.
Start the SNMP-service from the command line by net start snmp or start with the help of the
icon
Services
from the control panel. If the installation has been completed successfully you
should receive a cold boot trap on your management console. In addition you can access sys-
tem group data.
MIB-Integration into your NMS
Standard-NMS Installations require for each device to be monitored its specific MIB
(Management Information Base). To monitore the CS121 the Standard-MIB for UPS-systems,
RFC1628, is generally to be integrated into your NMS.
To identify CS121 adapters in your network you may use the MAC address. The MAC address
of every CS121 adapter starts with 00-03-05-02-XX-XX, whereas this address can be found in
the Telnet menu (menu: IP address, gateway address, MIB system group).
Your SNMP adapter is now installed and fully functional. Please read the following for
configuration and functionality descriptions of the adapter.
The MIB is to be loaded onto each SNMP Management Station that is monitoring an UPS via
an UPS SNMP Agent. The MIB determines which UPS parameters can be monitored and
controlled with the SNMP commands „get“ and „set“.
To complete the SNMP adapter installation and configuration process, you must compile the
necessary MIBs to configure the NMS. Any NMS with a MIB compiler can manage the SNMP
adapter.
Perform a „get" and a „set". If the get or set command fail, check the SNMP adapter access
control. The manager must have read permission to execute a get command and read / write
permission to execute a set command successfully.
For instructions on how to compile MIBs for the most popular NMSs - Novell's NetWare
Management Station, Hewlett-Packard´s OpenView Network Node Manager, and SunConnect;
SunNet Manager; see the corresponding heading below.
