UPS Network Module Configuration
The Uninterruptable Power Systems (UPS) Network Module is an option in several HP Rack-Mountable
and Tower UPS units, and these units can be monitored by Insight Remote Support Advanced through the
module.
Important: Configuration collections are not supported.
Prerequisites
l Verify the monitored devices are supported by checking the Insight Remote Support Release Notes.
l Verify SNMP is configured and the Hosting Device is set as a trap recipient.
l Send a test trap to verify connectivity from the monitored devices to the Hosting Device.
Use HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) to:
l Discover the UPS Network Module. As part of the discovery process, HP SIM can detect an installed
UPS Network Module. The web interface for the discovered module can be launched from the HP SIM
All Systems page.
l Receive SNMP traps from the UPS Network Module. The module can send event-based traps to HP
SIM that include a URL in the trap. This functionality enables administrators to easily launch the web
interface of the module in context. For example, if the UPS Network Module detects an alarm
condition, the module can send a trap to HP SIM with an attached hyperlink that routes users directly to
the web interface for the attached UPS.
l Conveniently launch the UPS Network Module web interface from within HP SIM.
n All Systems page—All discovered UPS Network Modules appear on the All Systems page. Click
the link in the System Name column to launch a browser session.
n Event-based trap—A URL is included in each trap to link directly from HP SIM to the Overview
screen for the specific device for which the trap was sent.
Configure SNMP
SNMP can be setup in the SNMP Settings screen in the UPS Network Module web interface. The SNMP
Settings screen allows an administrator to configure SNMP settings for computers that use the HP Power
MIB to request information from the UPS Network Module.
To configure SNMP, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the UPS Network Module web interface.
2. In the left menu, click SNMP.
