UPS Management
Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics (Rm&D) License Required
The SNMP/Web adapters embed a RM&D Agent service, offering the following features:
• UPS alarm monitoring
• Input /Output / Bypass / Battery measurement monitoring
NOTE
: A Key is needed to unlock the RM&D functionality on the SNMP/Web adapters.
Remote Monitoring Service Configuration
Licensing
RM&D Service enable requires two different steps. First step is getting a Unique KEY which is required for unlock-
ing the RM&D agent. Second step is to activate your License for one year. The License activation (Second Step) will
be done by the GE Commercial team .The License activated will be valid for one complete year from the date of
activation. License Renewal is mandatory for every additional year after license expiry.
As stated, a unique Key is needed to unlock the RM&D functionality. Once a Key is obtained, it shall be entered
into the SNMP/Web adapter using the console interface, either local (serial connection) or remote (Telnet, SSH).
The Key comes in a specific format (e.g. gxxxxxxxxe). To enter the Key, type in the rm_key command followed by
the Key. See the following example:
GEDE> rm_key gD.XZizzze
Key accepted, RM&D Service authorised
Enter ‘nvsave’ cmd to save the configuration
It is recommended to promptly save the configuration. If the configuration is not saved, at reboot the adapter will
revert to the last saved configuration and RM&D Service will be disabled – to re-enable, enter the Key & other
Configurations as explained below once again.
Without Unlocking the RM&D Service, Console commands and RM&D Webpage will be available but will not ac-
cept user inputs.
NOTE
: The Key is linked to the SNMP/Web adapter MAC address – make sure you are using the right MAC address
while ordering the RM&D Service activation.
Configuration and Activation
Once a valid Key has been entered, the RM&D Service can be configured. The configuration can be accomplished
via the console interface, and even more easily by using the web interface (System section). The following param-
eters will be controlling the RM&D Service operation RM&D Enable,
• The RM&D Service can be enabled
• RM&D Frequency
This configures the rate at which RM&D Service will post the UPS data to the Monitoring server. Please
Note that period should not be less than 1 hour. Value entered should be in Seconds. The Default Period
is 3600 Seconds
• RM&D Encryption Enable
This command enables the Encryption for the data Communication between SNMP/Web adapter and
Monitoring server. By Default Encryption will be enabled. This encryption is using standard SSL Protocol
with 128 bit strength. Please note that this data Encryption uses HTTPS Communication via TCP Port num-
ber 443. This mandates that TCP Port 443 should not be blocked in the Ethernet firewall of the facility to
