Generex cs141

[DCIM_Support]

Hi

I can´t log in to the Generex cs141 SNMP card sitting in ABB UPS´s in Datacenter Expert. I works with the old cs121/131

I think the default password to access the card to set it up via a web interface is different on the CS141.

From memory - so might be incorrect - admin / cs141-snmp

You should be able to find a manual for the CS141 online that details this.

You may then need to change the SNMP community name(s) or other details on the CS141 card to suit what is already set up in DCE.

Note that the CS141 is a 'generic' style card used by multiple manufacturers and I think some manufacturers change the password to something else...

Just remembered I had some interesting times with these units, and that there are some strange things regarding the IP addressing on them.  There is a switch inside that forces a particular IP address (possibly 10.10.10.10) to be used and prevents it from being changed.  The switch has to be in the other position to allow it to be changed.

I also had to upgrade the CS141 firmware for it to work at all.

Again there should be manuals online that detail this.

Hi Garry

Thank you for your quick reply. I know all the log in info, settings and so on. I have configured this SNMP card for the last 9 years 😀

The problem seems to be that there is no connection to the cs141 when it´s connected in the private lan. It say something like this when I try to log in from Expert. The strange thing is that the SNMP card gets an IP from Expert but it can´t say it´s a UPS when it shows up in Expert. When I did the same procedure with cs121/131 it work without any problem. Only page I could not see is the graphic over the UPS

Maybe I will come to you to get the SNMP part set up next time 😀, it sounds like you know that part better than me...

Usually if the device can be connected to and shows up in DCE but is not recognised as a specific device, then it is a DDF problem.  What type of device does DCE think it is? 

Are you trying to use the same DDF as the CS121? I think the DDF is different for the CS141.   Also the system I worked on had a a Generex BACS battery monitoring system tagged onto the back of it through the CS141 and this needed a new DDF creating from scratch, that could see both the UPS and BACS together.

Hope that helps...

DCE only say it´s a SNMP device if I remeber right

According to Schneider are the latest DDF already in the DCE so I don´t need it and I was told this does not have anything to do with the DDF files. I think it has to do with DDF because is a brand new card, both hardware and software

Could you maybe send me the DDF because there is non here to get, it say under development?

Go here:-  https://ddf.ecostruxureit.com/ and search for Generex BACS, connected to PowerWAVE 9500DPA

That is the DDF I used,  I suspect this will not work properly for you though as it also includes the BACS SNMP OID's
