5.4. Operation Using the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Port
The RJ-45 10/100 Base-T port is primarily intended for connection to an intranet for remote access to the DC power
system. However with the use of a crossover cable or a hub, a direct PC to 10/100 Base-T local connection may
also be made.
After the Management Card is configured and running on your network, you can use several different interfaces to
access the Management Card: Web, Telnet, SNMP and FTP.
-The Web interface uses a web browser such as Microsoft ® Internet Explorer 5.0 (and higher) or Netscape ® 4.0.8
(and higher) to configure Management Card options and to view DC power system status, alarms and events.
-Telnet is used to access a Management Card’s Control Console and is the same user interface available via the
local RS-232 serial port.
-SNMP access is available after you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser.
-FTP access is used to download new firmware to a Management Card, or to access a copy of a Management
Card’s event or data logs.
Complete documentation for the use of the management card accompanies the DC power system in the form of a
Quick Start Guide and a CD. The CD contains electronic copies of User’s Manuals along with the necessary
software utilities to support the management function. Some of the functions supported by the network card are not
supported by this power system.
5.5. Operation using Network Management Card Web Browser Interface
The location, description, and factory programmed default value for each of the Magnum VS system parameters
accessible via a Web browser is found in the table below. The table also shows all of the status and information
screens with typical displays. The location of a parameter screen is shown in brackets, for example: [Power
Modules/Rectifiers]. This table is organized alphabetically by parameter name.
