2. Windows Implementation 2.1 Pre-Installation Note: PANSA requires pre-installation configuration of firewall software settings and/or WEBCARDLX/SNMPWEBCARD settings. • Open UDP ports 161, 162, 3664 and 3665 on your computer's firewall software and disable the Windows SNMP trap service. • The host computer for the device PANSA will be monitoring must also have UDP ports 161, 162, 3664 and 3665 open on its firewall software. • If PANSA will be configured to monitor a WEBCARDLX or SNMPWEBCARD, enable the card's SNMP access and define a read/write community string (the default community string for firmware version 12.04.0048 and above is tripplite). Warning: Do not install more than one edition of a PowerAlert product on a single computer. If you have a previous version of PANSA installed, Tripp Lite recommends you manually uninstall it prior to installing the new version. 2.2 Installation Go to tripplite.com/products/power-alert-network-shutdown-agent to download the latest PANSA installer package for Windows. Once downloaded, double-click the PowerAlert installer and follow the on-screen prompts. The installer will attempt to uninstall previous versions of PANSA (if this action was not performed during pre-installation). If you experience issues installing PANSA, uninstall any current versions then right-click on the install file and select "Run as Administrator". Current Windows platforms are supported. 2.3 Configuration After installation, the option to launch the PANSA Console (Figure 2.3.1) becomes available. The Console contains all the controls required to operate PANSA. The "Monitored UPS" fields will be blank when PANSA starts up for the first time. Click the "Discover Agents" button to open the discovery settings window (Figure 2.3.2). Enter an IP address and community name (tripplite is the default). You must click the "Add to list" button after each entry and can add multiple entries, if desired. Use the asterisk character (*) as a wildcard in the IP address field. For example, 192.168.1.* will cover 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.255. If you know the specific IP address of the device you plan to monitor, enter that address. If you are unsure what information to enter in the discovery settings window, contact your network administrator for assistance. Figure 2.3.2 Figure 2.3.1 Note: PANSA attempts to discover compatible WEBCARDLX and SNMPWEBCARD firmware, PowerAlert Local and previous versions of PowerAlert software, but it does not search for PowerAlert Network Management System or other PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agents on the network. 3
