6.7. 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.
