Introduction 1.0 INTRODUCTION The OpenComms NIC Card transforms Liebert units into manageable nodes within your Network, NMS, and BMS systems. The OpenComms NIC Card contains a standard Ethernet and EIA-485 (2-wire) port designed to support viewing and management through: • HTTP for Web browsers (I.E. 5.5 or later) • SNMP (v1, v2c) for network management systems • Modbus RTU for building management systems (and SiteScan) For the first time, the system that monitors the status of your comput- i

Installation 2.0 INSTALLATION The OpenComms NIC card may be ordered as a factory-installed option, and it may be installed as a kit for field retrofit to existing Lie- bert units or as a self-contained unit in its own enclosure. If ordered as a factory-installed option, proceed to 2.3 - User Connec- tions for OpenComms NIC. 2.1 Retrofit Kit As a retrofit kit, the circuit board is secured to a metal mounting plate. The mounting plate then is attached to a flat metal surface in a low-voltage se

Installation 2.3 User Connections for OpenComms NIC The OpenComms NIC can use simultaneous connections, sometimes requiring three user connections: • Permanent network connection • Modbus 485 connection • Temporary serial connection for configuration/setup 2.3.1 Network Port Consult with the network administrator or other responsible party for arranging a network drop to the Liebert equipment. The OpenComms NIC communicates via standard 10 Base-T Ethernet network connec- tion. Route the 10 Ba

Installation Accessing the Configuration Port What you will need: • PC capable of running a terminal emulation application, such as Microsoft Windows® HyperTerminal®. • DB9 Null modem or file transfer cable. (The correct cable will have at a minimum, pins 2 and 3 crossed at the ends.) Null modem cables are commonly found in computers stores and may also be referred to as a file transfer cable.

System Configuration System Information Menu The System Information Menu seeks descriptive input to enable the unit to be identified. This data is readable via SNMP queries. The (“) character is not permitted in any of the descriptive fields Network Settings Menu The Network Settings Menu configures network parameters essential for proper network operation. The network administrator or other per- sonnel responsible for the network should be consulted for the proper parameters to be entered i

For Communities and Trap Communities, the information can be entered as a “complex” line — all parameters space-delimited on the command line. Otherwise, the menu items will prompt for each individual parameter. NOTE SNMP v1 communities are transmitted in plain (unencrypted) text across the network. Authentication failure traps may be enabled, so that the network ma

System Configuration Auxiliary Communications The Auxiliary Communications Menu allows the user to set up the parameters necessary for Modbus communications. The user can enable / disable the Modbus sessions as well as assign the slave ID. Q. will abort all changes. X. will save configuration changes. Once all parameters have been entered, press to return to the Main menu; then press exit and reboot using the new con- figuration. All parameters are stored in non-volatile flas

Operation 4.0 OPERATION 4.1 SNMP The OpenComms Network Interface Card supports “get,” “getnext,” “set,” “response” and “trap” packets of SNMP (Simple Network Man- agement Protocol). The OpenComms NIC supports MIB-II, RFC1628 and Liebert Global Products MIBs. The terms “alarms” and “condi- tions” will be used interchangeably through out this description. Alarms are generated and maintained through the RFC 1628 UPS MIB. Conditions are generated and maintained through the Liebert Global Produc
