Figure 4-14, you can change the authentication mode of the SIC card into local authentication, RADIUS
authentication or RADIUS+ local authentication. Through these authentication modes, you can control the account
whether has the authority to access SIC page. In local authentication mode, you can log in the SIC card through the
built-in admin and user account. In RADIUS authentication mode, you can log in the SIC card through the account
admitted by RADIUS server. In RADIUS+ local authentication mode, you can log in the SIC card through all valid
accounts from the two authentication modes.
Figure 4-14 Authentication settings page
The upper part of the page displays Current Authentication Settings, through Mode, you can view the
authentication mode of the current configuration; the lower part of the page displays Authentication Configuration,
you can select ‘Local Only’, ‘RADIUS Only’, ‘RADIUS, then Local’ (that is RADIUS + Local).
If you select ‘RADIUS Only’ or ‘RADIUS, then Local’, you need to input the IP address and shared cipher code of the
RADIUS server. To ensure the stability of the RADIUS authentication, the SIC card provides two RADIUS servers,

which are master and slave. The SIC card first get the information whether the login account is valid from the master
RADIUS server. When the master RADIUS server is unavailable (network failure), or the return information shows
that the login account is invalid, the SIC card will turn to get information whether the login account is valid from the
slave RADIUS server. If any RADIUS server admits the login account is valid, then this account can access the SIC
page, otherwise, not allowed. You can determine whether configure the slave RADIUS server according to your need.
After selecting the authentication mode and inputting the required information, click the Confirm button to save it.
After changing the authentication mode, the SIC card does not need to restart, and the authentication mode will be
valid in time, then input the corresponding account to log in according to the prompt authentication mode. As shown
in Figure 4-15, the SIC card uses the authentication mode of RADIUS + Local.
Figure 4-15 Login window of authentication mode prompt
Note
1. When selecting ‘RADIUS Only’ or ‘RADIUS, then Local’, you need a server to realize the RADIUS protocol, and must
ensure that the shared cipher code is the same as that of the RADIUS server, otherwise the RADIUS authentication will be
invalid. When the shared cipher code of the master RADIUS server is incorrect, for safety reason, the SIC will not continue
to get information from the slave server, considering there is a third-party attack.
2. To ensure the safety of the RADIUS authentication, you should modify the shared cipher code of the RADIUS server and
SIC card regularly.
4.10.3 Configuring Terminal Access Mode

mode of the current configuration; the lower part of the page displays Console Configuration, you can select ‘Telnet
Access’, or ‘SSH Access’.

If you need to change the terminal access mode, select ‘Telnet Access’ or ‘SSH Access’, and change the access port.
Telnet access has the port number: 23 (default) or 5000 ~ 32768; SSH access has the port number: 22 (default) or
5000 ~ 32768.
After changing the terminal setting, the SIC card does not need to restart, and the terminal access mode will be valid
in time, then the link built through the original access mode will automatically disconnect.
Note
1. SSH2 is the SSH version supported by SIC card, which only supports the authentication mode of user name + password.
2. When selecting the terminal access mode SSH, you need the client supporting SSH2, then configure the correct host IP
address (IP address of SIC card) and access port in the client.
3. Only the super user (user name is admin) is allowed to log in Telnet (through Telnet)or access SIC card in SSH mode. The
default password of super user is admin, case sensitive.

38 Chapter 8 Q’s & A’s
Chapter 8 Q’s & A’s
This chapter introduces the Q’s & A’s in the daily use of the SIC card. In case you encounter any problems, you are
recommended to seek solution in this chapter before seeking technical assistance from the local customer service
center of Emerson.
8.1 Q’s & A’s In Installation

Question 1: The indicators remain off after installation.
Answer: The UPS is shut down or has not been connected to the utility. Turn on the UPS. If the UPS cannot be
turned on, check the connection of UPS with the utility and connect the network cable, then observe if the indicators
turn on.
Question 2: When using the USB interface of the SIC card for the first time, how to use TTY to make
connection?
Answer: Before inserting the SIC, you must start the TTY and use the accessory USB cable to connect the intelligent
equipment with the computer. Because it takes only about five seconds to start the card, you cannot see the start
process if you do not run TTY before inserting the card. If you do have started TTY before inserting the card but
cannot see the process, refer to the answer to Question 2 in 8.2 Q’s & A’s In Running.
Besides, please install the USB driver in the CD delivered with the SIC card, and find the serial port of CP2101 USB
to UART on the menu COM & PT in Device Manager, and remember it. You need to use this serial port to make
connection.
Question 3. Can I finish the installation without computer at hand to run Hyper Terminal?
Answer: No, if you don't know the IP address. If you know the IP address, or if it is a new card (default address:
192.168.1.1), you may use the following steps to configure your card through Telnet mode.
1. Connect the card to the network.
2. Modify the network parameters of a computer located in the same LAN (better in the same HUB or switch) with the
card to get them in the same network section. Suppose the card IP address is: 192.168.1.1, subnet mask:
255.255.255.0, gateway: 0.0.0.0, then the computer IP address can be: 192.168.1.2, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0,
gateway: 0.0.0.0.
3. Reboot the computer, connect to the card in Telnet mode, login with user name admin and admin’s password. For
a new SIC card, the default password is admin.
4. After login, set the card’s IP address and other network parameters. The card will be rebooted automatically, and
later on you may access the card using the new IP address.
5. Restore the network parameters of the computer.
8.2 Q’s & A’s In Running

Question 1: Why the yellow indicator of the SIC card does not illuminate?
Answer: The card is not connected to the network. Please connect it to the network. After building up network
connection, when the card is receiving data from the network, the yellow indicator will blink; when it is not receiving
data, the yellow indicator will keep illuminating.
Question 2: The SIC card is running, but when I start TTY and intend to configure the SIC parameters, why no
login information appears on the screen?
Answer: Press the Enter key, and the login information should appear. If not, please verify that the card is running
(green indicator is on) and check that:
1. the intelligent equipment is connected to the computer with USB cable.

Chapter 8 Q’s & A’s 39
2. the USB driver has been properly installed, and the serial port CP2101 USB to UART is on the menu COM&PT in
Device Manager.
3. the serial port set in TTY is the same as the one connected to the intelligent equipment.
4. the serial port set in TTY is correct. Refer to the part Using TTY to login SIC card in 3.1.1 Using TTY Or Telnet To
Login SIC Card.
5. TTY and serial port can communicate well.
Question 3: What shall I do if I lose my password?

94B
Answer: Use the USB communication cable (accessory) to connect the computer USB interface and the SIC card
USB interface, then use the reset function to resume default password setting. See 3.3 Using Reset User To
X X
Configure Basic SIC Card Parameters Through TTY. X
Question 4: Why can some computers visit the card while some others cannot, but these computers can visit
95B
one another?
Answer: Incorrect SIC card gateway setting. If the card default gateway is 0.0.0.0, the card can be accessed only by
the computers in the same network segment. Please reset the card gateway according to gateway of the computer.
Even though the gateway is set correctly, if firewall is installed in your network, you will also meet with this problem. If
so, contact your network administrator.
8.3 Q’s & A’s In Web Monitoring

34B
Question 1: When I type in Web browser the IP address of the computer connected to the equipment
96B
installed with the SIC card, the prompt cannot find server appears, why?
Answer: Suppose the IP address is correct, maybe:
1. The SIC card is not running.
If this is because the intelligent equipment is off, please turn on the equipment and try again.
2. Network connection has not been built.
Use the ping command to check whether your computer can connect to the card. Refer to your OS manual for the
usage of the ping command. If you cannot ping successfully, check whether the card IP address is wrong.
Question 2: Why does the system prompt connection timeout while the browser is visiting the SIC card?
97B
Answer: Too many network users (including Web users and NMSs). The card can respond only 10 Web users and 5
inquiring NMS concurrently. Please close or stop some Web browsers or NMSs and try again.
Question 3: Why are the intelligent equipment status and SIC card configuration displayed on Web browser
98B
inconsistent with the actual situation.

Answer: It might be caused by:
1. incorrect computer time.
2. incorrect card time.
3. incorrect cache setting of the Web browser.
4. web page time error.
Please set the card time, computer time and browser cache correctly, and delete all temporary web pages on your
computer.
Question 4: The browser sometimes prompts web page error and cannot continue while sometimes not,
9B
why?
Answer: This problem usually occurs when you have just started to browse the SIC card and the browser is
downloading the monitoring homepage from the SIC card, while at this point, you click other link on the homepage,
and the download process is thus interrupted. Please wait till correct status data appear on the homepage before you
carry out other operations.

Question 5: I have typed correct user name and password and there is no error message, but the homepage
10B
does not come next, why?

Answer: Because the SIC card homepage is programmed by JavaScript, this problem may be caused by the
following two reasons:
1. You have installed anti-virus firewall, the software cannot identify normal web pages or web pages that contain
virus, so the homepage cannot be displayed. Please configure or close the firewall software.
2. JavaScript is disabled in your Web browser. To visit the SIC card web page, you must enable JavaScript. Refer to
the part Enabling JavaScript in 4.1 Checking Web Browser Settings.
8.4 Q’s & A’s In NMS Monitoring

35B
Question 1: Why timeout error often occurs when NMS is visiting the SIC card?
10B
Answer: This may be caused by the following three reasons:

1. The NMS is not in the Access Control list of the SIC card. Ask the system administrator to add it in the Access
Control list. Refer to the Configuring SNMP Agent Parameters part in 4.10.2 Configuring Authentication Mode

2. Community string error. In this case, the NMS will receive an AUTH-FAILURE trap. The community string used in
sending request must be the same as that set in the access control parameters of the SIC card. Refer to the

3. Network error. Check the network connection.
Question 2: When NMS attempts to configure SIC card parameters, genErr is replied, why?
102B
Answer: genErr occurs when:

1. The NMS is lack of control authority.
2. The SIC card fails in sending the configuration request of the NMS to the intelligent equipment. Please check
whether the parameters sent by the NMS are correct, and whether a communication failure trap is received.
Question 3: I just cannot use an NMS to add another one in Access Control list of the SIC card, why?
103B
Answer: Only the system administrator can add, delete, or modify NMS. Besides, you must submit all writable
properties of the NMS when you do this.
8.5 Q’s & A’s In SiteMonitor Monitoring

36B
Question: How can SiteMonitor manage intelligent equipment through the SIC card?
104B
Answer: Use the configuration function of SiteMonitor to add the SIC card IP address to the configuration file of
SiteMonitor, and start SiteMonitor, then you can use it to manage intelligent equipment.
8.6 Q’s & A’s In Using Network Shutdown

37B
Question: How can Network Shutdown get information from the SIC card in the case of UPS alarm？
105B
