Chapter 3 Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM).
Configure Nodes
Each node (Network Management Card, proxy, or application) must have a valid IP address (or a DNS name) in
the range that you have entered for auto-discovery (s
ee “Compatibility” on page 2).
Eaton IPM automatically receives the alarms (through notification or polling) without specific configuration on
the network card, proxies, or applications.
For SNMP communication, configure the
SNMP parameters using the System > Scan Settings selection.
Discover Nodes Connected on the Network
To discover nodes connected on the network:
1. From the left-side Views panel
of the Eaton IPM main interface window, select the Settings > Auto
Discovery menu item.
2. From the right panel, select a discovery method (see Figure 8):
