SNMP

General Information

PowerLink 50/100, equipped with the module CSPi, offers SNMP agent functionality without addi-
tional hardware.

SNMP Function

The SNMP agent allows the request of system parameters and a limited control (commands) of
the PowerLink from a central NMS (Network Management System) via TCP/IP. The SNMP agent
provides the status of the PowerLink device. Spontaneous alarm indications (traps) are transmitted
to the NMS.

Chapter 9: SNMP and Remote Access PowerLink 50/100 Equipment Manual

PowerLink Alarms

Two events (active/not active) are assigned to each alarm and transmitted to the programmed
NMS in case of a change of state during a configured time period. Cyclic repetitive alarms within an
adjustable time period are transmitted once only. Each alarm contains the severity level and a short
description of the event.
The following PowerLink alarms are transmitted from the SNMP agent:
alarmHardware (severity 1)
The PowerLink device reports hardware alarm. One or more configured hardware
components are not available or faulty.

NMS Commissioning

The necessary MIBs are available on the PowerSys CD provided with the PowerLink system.
They have to be integrated in the NMS. After the NMS has been configured, traps from the SNMP
agent are received. It is also possible to read PowerLink (ref. to page 6) resp. iSWT information
(ref. to page 6) or configuration (ref. to page 7). Commands can be set as well from the NMS (ref.
to page 7).

Chapter 9: SNMP and Remote Access PowerLink 50/100 Equipment Manual

Remote Access

General Information

The TCP/IP connection via Intranet as well as a remote access server (RAS) connection serves
complete system functionality administration identical to local on-site operation. Standard TCP/IP
network protocols are used for easy access to each PowerLink from anywhere within a company
Intranet. The system can interface with your own network security systems and firewalls, providing
you with just the right security level your company requires.
The remote access to the PowerLink is possible with the service program PowerSys. With the
PowerSys menu <Options Connection> the connection to the device via serial interface or
TCP/IP has to be configured.

Figure 14: Configuration example for the TCP/IP connection

After the TCP/IP connection has been selected the IP address and port of the remote access ser-
ver (RAS), or PowerLink has to be entered.
The service program is connected with the menu <Data source Device> or the corresponding
button as shown in the figure below.

vice button.

The example in figure 18 shows a remote access to the PowerLink in station A and B via intranet
and remote access server (RAS). Access to the PowerLink in station C is performed by using an
iMUX channel. The bit rate for this channel is 19 200 bps and the UART mode 8N1. For the con-
nection between the RAS and the iMUX resp. iMUX and RM-2 interface a one-to-one cable is nec-
essary.

With an integrated SWT 3000 using additional a digital transmission line via the interface LID-1 a
service channel (SC) is available. This is a transparent data channel with 9600 bps. For remote ac-
cess from station B, the output of this channel is connected in station C to the RM-2 interface of the
PowerLink. This interface has to be adjusted to Slave mode and 9600 bps.

Note:
The LAN connection to PowerLink in the examples (figure 16 17, 18, 19, 22) is for instance con-
nected to the LCT interface. It is also possible to make this connection to another TCP/IP interface
of PowerLink.

RM In-Band Channel

In the event that no intranet or modems are available, you can still monitor or configure remote
terminals using the in-band RM channel. With the optional service Remote Monitoring (RM), data
can be transmitted between the devices of one or more PowerLink routes. The RM function en-
ables the user to have access via a serial interface with the service program to the following func-
tion:
query of the device data (configuration, parameter, status) of the remote device
temporary adjustments (for example,. test loops)
producing a reset
From PowerSys version P3.3.25x, changing of the configuration and parameter in the remote
device is possible with this service but the RM configuration has to be enabled in the corresponding
device.

Figure 20: Configuration via in-band RM Channel has to be enabled in the RM configuration

Note:
Also with enabled RM configuration it is still not permitted to change the HF and the System con-
figuration via RM!

Route Coupling via RM-2

Via an additional interface RM-2 up to 5 transmission routes can be coupled. It is possible to mix
PowerLink transmission links with ESB 2000i and SWT 2000 F6 or SWT 3000 links in arbitrary se-
quence.
When using transmission links with ESB 2000i resp. SWT the correct baud rate (9600 Bd) must
be adjusted.

Activation of a RM-2 data transmission from another PowerLink is possible without influencing the
Service PC connection at the front interface LCT. Because the RM-2 connection is the second one,
only read permission is available, while the first connection (Service PC) has read/write access.
Active data transfer via RM-2:
Connection of the Service PC to the front interface LCT does not block the RM-2 transmission. Be-
cause the connection is the second one, only read permission is available, while the first connec-
tion (RM-2) has read/write access (if configured).
The RM-2 interface of the PowerLink system has the same characteristics as the SSB interface of
the ESB 2000i, SWT 2000 F6 and SWT 3000 systems.
