1.3 About this Guide
This guide provides guidelines to assist in the confi guration of the nrgSMART Controller. While care has been taken to defi ne all associated
components of this product, every aspect of controller confi guration may not be covered.
Throughout this guide, Notes, Alerts, Cautions, Warnings and Danger notifi cations may be used to convey important information the user
should pay special attention to.
The
Controller Tab allows the user to view information and defi ne how the controller communicates with the site, the panels and the
equipment. From this tab, measurement threshold settings are set, local networks defi ned and monitoring options designated.

2.1 Term Interpretation
SNMP is a way to monitor network devices that are on an IP network. Information is requested by the SNMP Manager and received from a
network device, about the device and connected equipment, and is sent and stored in a Management Information Base (MIB). With baseline
measurements and continuous updates, equipment performance can be tracked and controlled. Additionally, the SNMP Traps protocol sends
alerts instantly whenever an event occurs.
The SNMP Manager uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) that interacts with a network device and its connected equipment.
Through the Local Area Network (LAN), the SNMP Manager routinely requests information, such as power provisioning, remote site
management and circuit threshold data from network devices in different locations. This information is recorded and stored at a central
Management Information Base (MIB) and can be viewed in a user friendly table. Content displays equipment type and location, performance
and power usage, and monitors threshold levels which can anticipate problems with equipment, mitigating downtime so that maintenance can
be scheduled on a routine basis.
SNMP Traps send instant alerts from the network device when an unusual event occurs. The network device sends these messages without
receiving a request from the SNMP Manager; they are not recorded in the MIB. As soon as an event occurs an alarm is triggered indicating
where the event is. Immediate access to equipment alarms can prevent unnecessary downtime. During an event, an alarm promptly notifi es
the local technician who can then make repairs or prevent equipment damage.
