UPS View is an optional software package used for data monitoring. UPS View tracks more than 40 operating parameters of the UPS system in real time. UPS View displays the parameters on a computer display. UPS View gives the user access to a wide range of data.

UPS View is compatible with Windows operating systems, and includes capabilities for a remote notification, historical plots, logged events, expandable windows, and system diagnostics.

Diagnostic Capabilities

UPS View is used as a diagnostic tool to download the history of events of the UPS. The software can be used to analyze the "Alarm" conditions or the "Notice" conditions. The software also allows the user to cancel paging notification events remotely.

UPS View is based on a Client/Server architecture. A UPS View software license includes capabilities of the client/server architecture that enable access via an Ethernet connection.

Refer to Systems Operation, RENR9558 for more information on UPS View.

UPS View gives the user access to a wide range of data, including:

Remote Notification and Monitoring

Paging/E-mail via UPS View

UPS View can be programmed to notify various personnel of UPS Alarm or Notice conditions via e-mail or paging. This feature allows faster service response and faster management reporting.

Ethernet E-mail

The Ethernet allows interconnection between the UPS and other devices and can give the user the following capabilities:

• E-mail (e-mail requires Ethernet connection to a local area network (LAN) with simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) e-mail server).

• Simple network management protocol (SNMP)

• Modbus

• Connection to UPS View over a LAN (network monitoring requires static internet provider (IP) address to be assigned to each UPS).

The Babel Buster SPX is a modbus to modbus gateway. It is also a modbus to SNMP Gateway.

1. Plug in the power supply provided with the Babel Buster SPX unit.

2. Connect power to the Babel Buster SPX.

3. Connect a CAT5 cable between the RJ-45 jack and the network switch or hub.

   Note: The user cannot connect directly to the PC unless a crossover cable is used. The default IP address as shipped is 10.0.0.101. If the PC is not already on the 10.0.0.0 domain, the user will need to add a route on the PC.

The following steps should only be performed if the user needs to add a route to the PC.

1. Open a command prompt.

2. Type "ipconfig".

3. Note the IP address listed for the PC.

4. Type the command "route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.55.55.0 1.2.3.4".

   Note: Substitute the IP address from Step 3 for "1.2.3.4".

   Note: This generally works on Window XP. Sometimes this method fails on Windows 2000 or older. If this method fails, the user will need to change the IP address of the computer temporarily to a fixed address that starts with "10.0.0." and ends with anything but "101".

5. Open the browser and enter "http://10.0.0.101/" in the address window. The user should see a page with the "Babel Buster SP" header at the top.

6. From the "System" page, select "Setup" then "Config File". Upload the "APC1P SNMP v1.xml" file.

7. Select the "APC1P SNMP v1.xml" file from the local file directory drop-down menu. Click "Load".

8. Type the filename "APC1P SNMP v1.xml" in the boot configuration field. Click "Boot".

   Note: Ensure that the IP addresses on the "Devices" page match the IP address of each UPS. To view the IP addresses, select "IP Network" then "Modbus Setup". On the "Modbus Setup" page select "Devices".

   The user can change the IP address of the Babel Buster SPX under the "Network" page. From the "System" page, select "Setup" then "Network".

   Note: Save any configuration changes that are made on the "Config File" page. If not saved, the configuration will be lost when power is turned off.

   The red power LED should come on immediately upon connecting power. The LED will begin flashing during normal operation.

   If the green Link LED is not on, check the cable connections. The LED should be lit any time power is applied and an Ethernet connection is present.

   The server takes 1 to 2 minutes to boot up after power is applied. Once booted up, the unit is ready for browser activity.

The modbus can be connected either by TCP (Ethernet) or RTU (RS485 serial). Two types of RS485 connections are supported: half-duplex (2-wire) and full-duplex (4-wire).

The following logon and password allows the customer to modify the modbus via UPS View:

• Logon: stator

• Password: 8366464

A reflection in a transmission line is the result of an impedance discontinuity. This discontinuity is seen by a traveling wave as the wave propagates down the line. To minimize the reflections from the end of the RS-485 cable, place a line termination near each of the two ends of the bus.

The line must be terminated at both ends since the propagation is bidirectional. Do not place more than two line terminations on one passive D0-D1 balanced pair. Never place any line termination on a derivation cable.

Connect each line termination between the two conductors of the balanced line (D0 and D1).

Line termination may be a 150-Ω (0.5 W) resistor. Use a serial capacitor (1 nF, 10 V minimum) with a 120-Ω (0.25 W) resistor when implementing a polarization or the pair.

Note: In a 4-wire system, terminate each pair at each end of the bus. In an RS232 interconnection, no termination should be wired.

When there is no data activity on an RS485 balanced pair, the lines are not driven and susceptible to external noise or interference. To ensure that the receiver stays in a constant state when no data signal is present, some devices need to bias the network.

Document each modbus device to say the following:

• If the device needs a line polarization

• If the device implements, or can implement, such a line polarization

If one or several devices need polarization, connect one pair of resistors on the RS485 balanced pair:

• A pull-up resistor to a 5V on the D1 circuit

• A pull-down resistor to the common circuit on the D0 circuit

The value of these resistors must be between 240-Ω and 650-Ω.

Note: A 650-Ω resistor may allow a higher number of devices on the serial line bus.

In this case, implement a polarization of the pair at one location for the whole serial bus. Generally, this point is chosen on the master device or the tap of the master device. Other devices must not implement any polarization.

The maximum number of devices authorized on such a modbus serial line is reduced by four from a modbus without polarization.

Note: The UPS modbus device requires line polarization that must be implemented external to the device.

Note: Do not change the MAC address of the system.

The following must be configurable to enable modbus TCP as required by the network:

• Priority IP address

• Server port number (SPN)

• Socket timeout

To configure the modbus TCP parameters, use the following steps:

1. Log into UPS View with a valid username and password.

4. Enter the priority IP Address.

5. Enter the server port number.

6. Enter socket timeout.

7. Select the "Enable Modbus TCP" option.

8. Select "Close" to save the configurations and close the "Modbus TCP Configuration" window.

Modem - Paging Notification

The modem can be configured to call all people on the paging list. The modem can also be configured to operate in "escalation" mode if no return call is made in a certain amount of time. The system uses an automatic redial and rotation sequence after set delays for up to 200 call attempts. Users may individually enable or disable paging for alarm events or notice events separately. Notice and alarm event messages can be sent via e-mail if desired.

The External modem option specifications are:

• 56kps download capability ITU V.90 industry standard technology

• Connects with all major modem protocols

• "Carrier Loss Redial" enables the modem to redial automatically the last number called if a loss of carrier is detected

• "Remote Configuration" allows modem settings to be configured from a remote location

• "Dial Security", including "Dialback", secures the network by verifying authorized callers and modems. This verification is done prior to passing a remote originated call or initiating "Dialback" based on device configuration.

UPS View supports the following Standards And Protocols:

• ITU V.90 at up to 56 Kbps technology

• TU-T V.34 at 33.6 Kbps or 28.8 Kbps

• V.32 terbo at 19.2 Kbps (21.6 Kbps between courier modems with ASL)

• ITU-T V.32bis at 14.4 Kbps

• ITU-T V.32bis at 14.4 Kbps

• HST at 16.8 Kbps

• Backward compatible with most ITU-T and bell standards

• Numeric paging - System will leave UPS code number, call back number and notice or alarm code to indicate severity of problem

• Alphanumeric paging - System will provide description of product, cause of alarm, serial number, location, and callback number

Note: The modem requires a dedicated analog phone line connection. The UPS View option is recommended for confirmation.

Dual Communication - Modem and Ethernet

For multi-path communications capability, both the Ethernet and modem can be applied to the same UPS system.
