2 Installation

2.1 Set-up

2.1.1 Disable downloads

By default, it is possible to update the embedded firmware on the STS Web card using the Browsercommand.If you wish to disable this function, change the position of the jumper before installing the card.

2.1.2 Installation in aIt is not necessary to turn Using a screwdriver, Insert and secure the

www.mgeups.com



2.2 Connection of the Ethernet link

To make use of the full potential of your installation, we recommend using shielded cables withshielded RJ45 connectors.

2.2.1 Connection to a hubIf the STS Web card is connected to a hub, use a straight-through cable.

2.2.2 Connection to a computer

If the STS Web card is connected to a computer, use a crossover cable.

Once the card has been inserted and connected: The UPS data LED:

> flashes regularly once per second during the start-up phase,> flashes faster during initialization of the dialogue with the STS,> flashes in step with the exchange of data with the STS.

The Lk/Tx LED:> goes on when connection is made to the network,> flashes in step with the Ethernet exchanges managed by the card.

Approximately 1 minute after insertion, the card is operational.

www.mgeups.com



2.3 Default IP addressThe STS Web card comes with a default IP address. This address is calculated from the MACaddress on the label on the front of the card. The format of the MAC address is 00 06 23 LL MM NN,where: 00 06 23 is the manufacturer code for MGE UPS SYSTEMS in hexadecimal format, LL MM NN is the serial number of the card in hexadecimal format.

The default IP address of the card is made up of four bytes of which the last two are derived from theMAC address.

The format of the IP address is 172.17.xxx.yyy, where: xxx is the decimal value of the MM byte, yyy is the decimal value of the NN byte. For example, for a MAC address 00 06 23 00 00 10, the

corresponding default IP address is 172.17.0.16.

2.4 Network parametersThe STS Web card uses the parameters listed below: IP address for identification on the intranet. Subnet-mask defining the group of users to which it is connected. Gateway address for communication with another subnet.

Network parameters setting could be done: Automatically if the network is equipped with a DHCP or BOOTP server. Manually when no IP server is available.

www.mgeups.com



The table below presents the initialization mode for the network parameters.

Intranet Selected mode Procedure

DHCP serverinstalled

- DHCP - Reception and use of the network parameterssent by the DHCP server

- BOOTP - Attempt to connect to a BOOTP server for tenseconds, then use of the fixed network parameters

- Manual - Use of the fixed network parameters

BOOTP serverinstalled

- DHCP - Attempt to connect to a DHCP server for tenseconds, then use of the fixed network parameters

- BOOTP - Reception and use of the network parameterssent by the BOOTP server


No serveravailable

- DHCP - Attempt to connect to a DHCP server for tenseconds, then use of the fixed network parameters

- BOOTP - Attempt to connect to a BOOTP server for tenseconds, then use of the fixed network parameters


Important: If the card is not connected or is incorrectly connected to the network, it simply waits for

connection. Once connection is detected, the card becomes operational.

www.mgeups.com



Proceed as follow to view the network parameters used by the card: Using a terminal, connect to the Card Settings serial port on the card (see section 4.1). Select the Display board parameters command.

Proceed as follow to enter the fixed network parameters used for Manual mode or when a DHCP orBOOTP server is not available: Select the IP parameters configuration command. Enter the desired parameters, following the instructions displayed on the screen.

Warning: The card must be reset for the new network parameters to be taken into account

(see section 4.8).

4.7 Restart the cardUsing the browser: select the STS Web Card Configuration command to access the Card restart menu fields, enter the password and click the Restart card button.

Using terminal mode: select the Reset board to default parameters command, then the Reset board command, and enter the password.

Note: the card is operational 1 minute after reset.

4.8 Return to the default parametersUsing the browser: select the STS Web Card Configuration command, click the Reset to default button.

In this mode, the passwords modified by the user are saved.

Using terminal mode: select the Reset board to default parameters command, then the Reset to built in parameters command, reset the card (see section 4.7).

In this mode, all the passwords are reset to the “MGEUPS” values.

Note: before confirming return to the default parameters, it is possible to test the card using the default

parameters by changing the FRST jumper setting. This temporarily activates the defaultparameters. Once the FRST jumper has been set back to the original position, the card restartswith the parameters already entered by the user.

4.9 Uploading a new versionBefore uploading, it is necessary to reset the card (see section 4.7). Wait for 1 minute.Then, using the browser, proceed as follows. Access the STS Web Card Configuration menu (see section 4.1). Select the STS Web card firmware upload command. Indicate the path to the new version, then click the Upload button.

Note: If the Download jumper on the card is set to protection mode (download disabled, see section

2.1), a warning message is displayed. Uploading does not take place. Set the jumper to thedefault position to continue.

Updated firmware may be downloaded from the www.mgeups.com site.Warning: During uploading, the STS Web card is not operational. Remember to inform the users of the

protected servers that a maintenance operation will be carried out. During the entire upload procedure, the card must remain on (energized). When the upload operation is complete, a message is displayed in red at the top of the page. In order to run with the new firmware, you need to restart the card (see section 4.7).
