Eaton Powerware 9170+ (with ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card) – Cannot make all SNMP queries nor change SNMP community name

configurationsnmpups

Does anybody has this UPS (Eaton Powerware 9170+)? I'm having some problems with it. Unfortunatelly all related to this product is bad documented. My problems:

Don't know where to change SNMP community name in it. The old administrator did that, but I can't figure out where to make that change. I tried both telnet and web interfaces, with no luck.
There is a problem with SNMP:

2.a) First, not all possible OIDs are returned on a snmpwalk. This is strange, because XUPS.MIB file has more OIDs than the one that the UPS returns. For instance, I can't retrieve 1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.7.3 that is xupsOnBattery.

2.b) Even without an input source (which means that we are out of external energy), it don't change its inputVoltage values.

Has anybody got this problem?

Thank you.

You will have to configure your UPS through Telnet and configure "Set Write Access Managers".

Windows – SNMP Trap receipt and processing on Windows Server 2003

You're going to need additional software.

The SNMP trap receiver in the "SNMP Trap Service" in Windows Server 2003 can receive traps from other machines but can only forward them to another destination. It's less of a "trap receiver" and more of a "trap proxy".
