Overview
The Ethernet Interface on the SynQor MPS-4000 products adds a web interface and an SNMP interface
for control, configuration, and reporting. This guide provides information regarding initial setup and
functionality of the network interfaces.
The web interface provides a dynamically updated set of pages for user interaction. The SNMP interface
exposes the RFC-1628 standard UPS-MIB interface.

Initial Configuration
In order to facilitate connecting to the web interface, the MPS network interface provides multiple
methods to identify the MPS on the network. The user must load the web interface to enable or
configure the SNMP interface.
2.1
DHCP Server
The MPS network interface will recognize a DHCP server on the network and use the IP address assigned
by the server. A network administrator can register the MAC address of the network interface with the
DHCP server to assign the MPS to a static IP address. The MAC address can be read in two ways: (1) via
the RS232 serial command “NETWORK?”; and (2) via the web interface, assuming a connection is made
before the static IP address is assigned (see below).
Once a DHCP server assigns an IP address to the MPS, the web interface can be loaded by pointing a
web browser to the address
http://x.x.x.x/
, where “x.x.x.x” is the assigned IP address.
2.2
NetBIOS Hostname
The MPS network interface will use NetBIOS to advertise its hostname to the local network. The default
hostname is “SYNQORMPS”. If an IP address is assigned via a DHCP server and NetBIOS is permitted on
the local network, directing a browser on the network to
http://synqormps/
or
https://synqormps/
will
load the MPS web interface.
Once an initial connection is made to the web interface, the user should assign a unique hostname on
the Network tab (see below), so that the name does not interfere with other SynQor MPS devices on the
network.
2.3
Local Connection
The MPS network interface can connect to a host computer directly via an RJ-45 Ethernet cable. Either a
straight-through or crossover type cable can be used. In this mode, the web interface is available via the
address
http://169.254.1.1/
. The MPS implements its own DHCP server which will provide an IP address
on the 169.254 subnet to the host computer. Once a connection is established in this way, the user can
configure the default IP address and hostname as desired, as well as read the MAC address for the
purposes of assigning a static IP address.
