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.

Components:
TCP/IP protocol stack:
The TCP/IP protocol stack handles the internet communication of the LAN.
SNMP
Handling of the SNMP access of the spontaneous indication (traps)
MIB
The management information base (MIB), contains the status information of the Po-
werLink system.
IPC
Inter process communication for communication and synchronization of the proc-
esses.
Config.
Configuration data base of PowerLink.
Spontaneous indications from the PowerLink device are transmitted from the SNMP agent to the
configured Network Management Systems. Up to 6 NMS can be configured for receiving this traps.
Each trap is sent with a severity (1-5) with the following signification:

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.
alarmConfiguration (severity 1)
The PowerLink reports configuration alarm. The adjusted device configuration is not
valid.
alarmGeneral (severity 1)
The PowerLink reports general alarm
alarmNonUrgent (severity 2)
The PowerLink reports non urgent alarm
alarmTx (severity 1)
The PowerLink reports transmitter alarm
alarmRx (severity 1)
The PowerLink reports receiver alarm
alarmS2N (severity 4)
The PowerLink reports S/N alarm
alarmRemGeneral (severity 1) *)
The PowerLink of the remote station reports general alarm
alarmRemNonUrgent (severity 2) *)
The PowerLink of the remote station reports non urgent alarm
alarmRemTx (severity 1) *)
The PowerLink of the remote station reports transmitter alarm
alarmRemRx (severity 1) *)
The PowerLink of the remote station reports receiver alarm
alarmRemS2N (severity 4) *)
The PowerLink of the remote station reports S/N alarm
*) Note: REM alarms are only available with an existing RM connection at the local PowerLink
device. Rem alarms can be suppressed in the NMS if required.
Web Login
Start the Web browser for example, internet explorer and enter http://192.168.20.5 (default IP
address, can be changed).
Log in with the Password cspiwrite (default password for full access) or cspiread (default
password for read only access). The password can be changed.
Note:
Additional information about the Web interface can be found in chapter 7
Note:
If the IP address of the interface is changed, make sure, that the actual values are known later. If
the user does not know the IP address of the CSPi service interface it is not possible to communi-
cate with the equipment.
Ipcon Settings

Range for PowerLink Configuration Port: 0 to 65 535, but well known ports up to 1023 should not be used.

Activation of Settings
Note:
Restart of the CSPi will interrupt all services.
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).
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.
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.
The figure below shows a RAS connection to the PowerLink resp. SWT 3000. Information from
the PowerLink in station C can be read via in-band remote monitoring channel if the RM function is
activated.

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!
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.

channel is activated. For the RM2 RM2 connection in station B a crossed cable has to be used. 1
RM2 interface must be configured as Slave the other one as Master.
