Chapter 1: IntroductionEltek Energy is a world leader in the development of new power supply systems, designed to meet the rapid growthwithin the field of telecommunication, as well as the increasingly stringent reliability requirements.

With the introduction of microelectronics in electronic equipment, energy distribution and telecommunication anddata systems technology require a guaranteed, uninterruptible power supply and to meet this demand, Eltek Energymake in-depth investments in all types of scientific research, technical development, and experimental mathematicalmodeling of thermal characteristics of components and systems.

The ultimate in reliability is secured through innovative new technologies and topologies, which also reduce the sizeof the power blocks and extend the operating range, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Eltek Energyinvests heavily in research and development - with highly qualified engineers and research scientists working withthe most advanced development platforms available, we are able to offer tailor-made solutions - a key factor forpenetrating new markets.

A modern power supply system must fulfill various international standards and regulations while, at the same time,meeting market requirements. Increased awareness of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), especially in Europe,has resulted in Eltek's investment in an EMC test laboratory. This laboratory not only ensures that products complywith relevant standards, it is also utilized throughout product development. The EMC test laboratory forms part ofEltek's extensive in-house test facility.

Electronic equipment for data and telecommunications require supply voltages generated from the AC mains, as wellas from battery-assisted DC voltage. Intensive development work has produced power supply systems designed tomeet both present and future power requirements, and the development of control and alarm modules make ourpower supply systems a market leader. Programmed functions monitor operating conditions, load and battery. Shouldproblems be detected, the operator will be notified immediately, either via the telephone network, or via Ethernet.Shutdowns can thus be avoided for critical applications.

Eltek's software expertise is constantly expanding the remote communication capabilities of our systems, usingstandard network protocols such as SNMP and HTTP.

Eltek Energy AS accepts no responsibility for any damage or injury to the system, site or personnel caused bydrawings, instructions or procedures not prepared by Eltek Energy.

ScopeEltek's WebPower Adapter provides the user with an affordable, easy to use, platform-independent graphicalinterface solution. Combined with one of Eltek's AEON Gold, Smartpack, or Flatpack MCU system controllers,WebPower allows remote monitoring from anywhere within a corporate LAN, WAN, or VPN, or even across theInternet.

In addition, the WebPower adapter provides an SNMP Agent, allowing Eltek power systems to be interoperable withSNMP enterprise management solutions, which are commonly in use within the Telecommunications industry.

Feature OutlineThe following are some of the features of the WebPower adapter:

� Platform independence - the monitoring PC can be Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, Linux - any modern operatingsystem and hardware platform that supports a standard Web browser capable of running Javascript. This includesmany handheld devices such as PDAs and tablet PCs.

� Freedom from software installation and version control issues at the PC. All data is exchanged using standardHTTP Internet protocol.

� Field upgrades of the WebPower adapter firmware are possible over the network connection. No specialtyhardware is required. Windows versions of the required software tools are provided free upon request toauthorized users. Remotely updating all adapters in a given enterprise is possible from a single location by use ofthese tools and associated firmware binaries provided by Eltek. Feature upgrades and improvements are easilyimplemented by this process.

� Multiple concurrent browser connections are supported. This feature may be utilized for cooperativetroubleshooting efforts, training purposes, or other collaborative, multi-user sessions.

� Access security is provided to restrict unauthorized attempts to alter system settings. Group level access control isprovided, with three access levels defined.

� A truly embedded architecture provides protection of the WebPower adapter operating software. The operatingfirmware image is compressed into WebPower's internal flash memory and decompressed into RAM at boot up.All operations are executed from RAM, so there is no file system to corrupt or damage. This RAM area is notaccessible externally, providing excellent security against malicious attacks. In the event of corrupted RAM,rebooting the device literally loads a fresh copy of the operating code.

� An embedded SNMP Agent provides standard SNMP traps upon occurrences of alarm conditions and allows GETand SET operations in order to retrieve data and perform remote operations on the power plant. Compatibility isensured by the SNMPv1 implementation and inclusion of standard SNMP variables required for device discoveryand polling. The appropriate MIB file is provided on the WebPower Companion CD-ROM shipped with eachWebPower adapter.

Globally available remote access provides many advantages to the systems operation group. The graphical userinterface built into WebPower features an environment familiar to Internet users. This document addresses in detailthe operation of the adapter and the WebPower adapter interface.

Hardware OverviewThe WebPower adapter is either a separate external unit or an internal system component. In addition, WebPower isalso an integrated feature within the Smartconnect unit. This is determined by the system that was purchased, sincecertain systems are equipped with the internally integrated adapter, while others are not. If yours is an internal systemcomponent or is an embedded version, no wiring is necessary so you can skip the Hardware Installation sectionbelow. If you have an external adapter, you will need to perform the steps in the Hardware Installation section. Thereare no differences in the WebPower User Interface between the two versions of the adapter.

The external WebPower adapter consists of a PCB housed in a metallic enclosure that is mounted in a convenientlocation. Normally, this enclosure resides within the power system cabinet, rack, or enclosure, but it can be externallymounted. In addition, the WebPower adapter may be integrated into a system monitor panel along with other PCB-level subassemblies, in which case the connectors as described within this document may be relocated.

DimensionsThe enclosure is approximately 150 x 90 x 25 mm (6 x 3.5 x 1 inches).

Power RequirementsWebPower requires a DC voltage between 20 and 65 VDC at a maximum of 150mA to operate.

Connectors and IndicatorsSerial Ports (External adapters only)Two serial ports are available. COM0 is a female DB-9 connector and is wired as a DTE (data terminal equipment)port. COM1 is a male DB-9 connector and is wired as a DCE (data communication equipment) port.

Ethernet PortOne RJ-45 connector is provided for connection to standard UTP network cabling. Both 10Mb (10Base-T) and100Mb (100Base-T) connections are supported by the auto sensing network interface circuitry.

IndicatorsThree (3) green LED indicators are provided. These are:� 100Mb - indicates when the network connection has been auto detected as 100Mb� Link - indicates that a physical layer Ethernet connection is detected� Power - indicates that the WebPower adapter is receiving DC power and is operational

Power ConnectorA two (2) position removable connector is provided for connection of DC power to the WebPower adapter. Polaritymarking is provided adjacent to the connector and these must be observed to prevent damage to the power supplycircuitry. WebPower is internally fused and reversal of the supply polarity will open the fuse and could possiblydamage the device.

Hardware InstallationNote: When supplied as a system component, the WebPower adapter wiring will be factory-installed. If WebPowerhas been purchased as an upgrade or system add-on, consult this section for installation information.

Connection to System ControllerConnect the correct supplied RS-232 cable to the COM1 port on the WebPower adapter. The following is a list of thecommunication cables that are supplied, depending on your region and your system type:

The cable must then be connected to a system controller port that supports the pComm protocol at 9600 baud forAeon and MCU systems and at 38400 for a Smartpack system. The Flatpack MCU and Smartpack controller bothhave a single available serial port, while the AEON controller has multiple serial ports available. For an Aeoncontroller, you must connect to the DTE Com1 port. For a Smartpack controller, you must connect to the CON3 portand the Smartpack must be equipped with the RS-232 option.

When connecting to the Flatpack MCU controller, the MCU must be configured to turn OFF the Modem Sensefunction. This is accessible through the MCU's Service Menus. See your MCU User Guide for details of this setting.If this setting is not correct, the WebPower adapter cannot communicate with the MCU.

Connection to Power� DC input power is connected to a removable terminal block.� Terminal type is Weidmuller BLZ-5.00/180, 2 positions.� Terminal accepts wire sizes of 22AWG to 12AWG

(0.5mm² to 2.5 mm²).� A small flat blade screwdriver is required to tighten the

connections.� Red wire is POSITIVE (+) and is toward the right in this photo.

Connection to Ethernet� Category 5 (or higher grade) UTP cable is required for

connection.� Connector is standard RJ-45. � 10Mb and 100Mb Ethernet connections are supported.� Standard TIA/EIA 568 wiring is used.

Software OverviewWebPower is essentially a protocol translator, where one communication protocol is "converted" into anotherprotocol. In addition, WebPower provides a physical layer conversion between an RS-232 asynchronous serial linkand a twisted pair Ethernet connection.

The Web server function provides the user interface by translating the system controller messages into a form that iseasily understood by the user. This Graphical User Interface (GUI) will be described in detail within this document.

Communication protocolsWebPower supports the following protocols:� pComm binary master-slave communication protocol, reference TE241241.000-B4. This is Eltek's Local Area

Control Network which is employed to communicate between the system controller and ancillary devices, such asWebPower. In the external WebPower adapters, serial port COM1 is dedicated to pComm communications.

� HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) over TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). Used tocommunicate with standard Web browsers. The 10/100Mb Ethernet port employs HTTP over TCP/IPcommunications.

� VT-100 serial terminal emulation protocol. In the external WebPower adapters, COM0 is dedicated to VT-100communications, which are used for diagnostic purposes and for factory WebPower configuration. Defaultcommunication parameters are 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. If you havean integrated WebPower adapter in your system, the serial ports are not available.

� FTP (File Transfer Protocol): This is used to both upload and download settings to or from the WebPower via aspecially formatted delimited text file (*.csv).

� SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): This provides the power system with monitoring, control, andalarming features via standard GET and SET operations and via SNMP trap messages.

� Telnet: This is used for low level communication configuration via a text-based interface.

CompatibilityThe WebPower adapter firmware is interoperable with AEON, Flatpack MCU, and Smartpack controllers allowingthe WebPower adapter to address any Eltek system application using these controllers.

For additional compatibility information please see the readme.txt file on the WebPower Companion CD-ROM.

Setting up the WebPower adapterIn order to access WebPower via the Ethernet connection, TCP/IP networking must be installed and active on theclient PC. Unless otherwise indicated, the default IP address of the WebPower adapter is 192.168.10.20. The defaultsubnet mask is 255.255.255.0. A fixed IPv4 address is required; consult your network operations or InformationTechnology group before assigning an IP address within your specific address range.

Configuration via Ethernet � Using the supplied PC Utilities

If a Windows PC is available, the IP address of the WebPower adapter may be changed using the IPSetup utility,which is provided on the WebPower adapter Companion CD-ROM. Locate the IPSetup.EXE file on the CD-ROMand launch this application. A list of all currently accessible WebPower adapters will be shown, along with theirunique physical / MAC address. Highlight the unit that you wish to reconfigure, and enter the appropriateinformation in the associated text boxes. When all the settings are entered, click the "SET'" button to change theunit's IP configuration.

Figure 1-1: IPSetup Utility

This procedure may be performed on any WebPower adapter (or any other NetBurner®-based device) on thenetwork. Be careful that the adapter you are configuring is the correct unit.

The IPSetup utility allows changing the IP configuration of a WebPower adapter without knowing the adapter'scurrent IP address. Changes may be made from any Windows client that is physically connected to the samenetwork as the WebPower adapter, regardless of the client's IP address (certain network restrictions may limitaccess by unauthorized devices). It is recommended that access to the IPSetup tool be limited and the WebPowerCompanion CD-ROM be stored in a safe, secured location.

Note that the IPSetup and AutoUpdate utilities use the same connection mechanism and cannot be runconcurrently Refer to the �Firmware Updates� section in this manual for more information.

� Using a Web Browser

If a non-Microsoft operating system must be used, or if the WebPower Companion CD-ROM is unavailable, theIP address of the browsing computer can be set to an address in the same range as the factory-configured IPaddress of the WebPower adapter (see above). The browsing computer's IP address must be within the rangeallowed by the default subnet mask (192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.19 and 192.168.10.21 to 192.168.10.254). Ifnecessary, temporarily change the IP address of the client PC to conform to this range. Once a connection isestablished, the IP address of the WebPower adapter can be changed to the desired permanent IP address. Formore information, refer to the �Administrative Settings� section in this manual for your specific controller.

7

Attention: When the WebPower adapter IP address and/or subnet mask is changed to a rangeoutside that of the client machine, WebPower will be inaccessible to any computer within theoriginal address range (before the change). After configuration of the WebPower adapter, the clientcomputer's IP address and/or subnet mask can then be changed back to its normal IP address.

� Using a Telnet ConnectionIf a Web browser is not available during configuration, or if the initial SNMP parameters must also be configured,a Telnet session can be used to access the WebPower adapter's Serial Menu. Refer to the �Using the Serial Utility�section in this manual for more information.

Configuration via a Serial ConnectionIf an Ethernet connection is not available or if it is not possible or desirable to temporarily reconfigure the PC's IPaddress, an alternative procedure for external WebPower adapters is the serial connection option. Refer to the "Usingthe Serial Utility" section in this manual for more information.

For information about connecting to the WebPower interface and accessing the information, refer to theappropriate chapter for the controller that is installed in your system.

Chapter 6: Serial Utility and Telnet AccessThe Serial Utility and Telnet Interface provide alternative methods for setting various WebPower configurationoptions, such as the parameters of the embedded SNMP Agent.

The Serial Utility instructions only apply to customers with an external WebPower Adapter; integrated WebPoweradapters do not expose this serial port. If your system has an integrated WebPower adapter, you will need to use anEthernet connection and the Telnet Interface of the WebPower adapter. Note that a Telnet connection can be used foreither type of WebPower adapter, but some options require a serial connection.

Refer to the individual controller chapters in this guide for configuration information. It is assumed that the user isfamiliar with the operation of a Telnet client. Use the following section as a guide when using Telnet to configure theWebPower adapter and/or embedded SNMP Agent.

ATTENTION: CONCURRENT TELNET AND SERIAL CONNECTIONS OR MULTIPLECONCURRENT TELNET SESSIONS, TO THE WEBPOWER ADAPTER ARE TO BE AVOIDED.ATTEMPTING TO ALTER SETTINGS UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS MAY CAUSEUNPREDICTABLE RESULTS. CLOSE ALL BROWSER WINDOWS BEFORE CREATING ATELNET OR SERIAL CONNECTION.

Serial Utility Requirements� Any PC hardware and operating system capable of communicating on an RS-232 serial port at 115200-baud rate,

with a standard DTE serial port connector. � A terminal emulation program capable of VT-100 terminal emulation. Examples are HyperTerminal, TeraTerm,

and others.� A standard DTE to DCE serial cable. This is a "straight-through" wired cable. The DCE end of the cable must be

DB-9; the DTE end of the cable is determined by the PC hardware.

Getting Connected - Serial Utility1. With DC power removed from the WebPower Adapter, attach the serial cable between the PC / terminal and the

WebPower adapter's COM0 port. 2. Launch a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal, and configure the necessary port settings per above.3. Apply DC power to the WebPower adapter. A message should appear on the terminal almost immediately (do

not press "A" when prompted). A subset of the current TCP/IP parameters will be displayed, followed by a loginprompt. Type in the "admin" username and the password, pressing Enter after each entry. By default, admin willbe both the correct Username and Password.

Telnet Interface Requirements� Any PC with a Network Interface Card or built-in Ethernet adapter� TCP/IP networking configured with a static IP address on the same subnet (standalone WebPower adapter without

router). For router-equipped systems (i.e. Smartconnect), use DHCP to automatically acquire an IP address. � A standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable (Smartconnect with router) or 568A to 568B crossover cable (WebPower

standalone, without router).� Telnet client application

50

Getting Connected - Telnet Access1. Attach one end of the appropriate Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on your computer and the other end to the

craft port on the Smartconnect unit or the Ethernet port of the WebPower adapter.2. Assuming you are using a Windows operating system, open a Command Prompt window (example: in the

Accessories area of the Windows Program Menu). In the Command Prompt window, type telnet 192.168.10.20and then press Enter. Make sure you include the space between telnet and the IP address. Note that192.168.10.20 is the default IP address of the WebPower or Smartconnect unit; if you have changed this IPaddress to a custom address, that new address must be entered instead.

3. You will then be prompted to log in. Type in the "admin" username and the password, pressing Enter after eachentry. By default, admin will be both the correct Username and Password.

Menu OptionsAfter successfully logging in, the main menu should be displayed. The six menu selection options are describedbelow.

Setup Network Addresses If you are using the Serial Utility, you have the option in this area to change any or all of the following networksettings for the WebPower adapter: the IP Address, the Netmask, the Default Gateway, and the DNS Server. Theseparameters should be determined in cooperation with the network administration / Information Technology staff.Note that router-equipped WebPower solutions (Smartconnect) may have particular factory settings necessary foroperation; do not alter these settings without fully understanding the implications. If you are using the TelnetInterface, you will not be able to change certain settings.

pComm Driver InfoSelecting this option will display the name, description, part number, version number, and release information for thepComm Driver. This information may be required by factory personnel during service correspondence.

WebPower InfoSelecting this option will display the version information for WebPower. This information may be required byfactory personnel during service correspondence.

SNMP: Trap Host ConfigurationIf you select this option, you will be presented with three suboptions: Set IP Addresses & Community, Set TrapRepeat Rate, and Set Off Trap. SNMP traps are unsolicited messages sent to the network management systeminforming the manager of an event that has occurred, as monitored by the embedded Agent.

52

Set Trap IP Addresses & Community StringIf you select this option, you will need to specify the number of the table entry that you want to modify.

You will then need to enter the new trap client IP address and community string for the chosen table entry. TheCommunity String can be a combination of 19 characters, numbers, or spaces. Valid characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, andthe special characters ~@#%^&_-+=:,. Do not use the asterisk or any other special character not shown. Note thatspaces are valid characters, but leading spaces are ignored.

53

Set Trap repeat rate configIf you select this option, you will need to set the repeat rate between 0 and 10 minutes. Choosing 0 will turn thisfeature off. The number specified will determine how often Trap messages are resent to the NMS, while a givenevent/alarm remains in the "active" (alarm) condition. Changing this setting requires the WebPower to be rebooted.

Set Off Trap configWithin this option, you can enable the Send Off Trap feature. This feature will send a trap message whenever anevent or alarm condition has cleared. Changing this setting requires the WebPower to be rebooted.

SNMP: NMS ConfigurationThere are two options within this section: Set Read Community string and Set Write Community string. All OIDswithin the MIB construct support the GET ("read") operation. Certain OIDs also support the SET ("write") operation.

Set Read Community stringThis is the Community String name that is used to determine NMS read-only level access to the SNMP Agent, forOIDs that support the GET operation.

54

Set Write Community stringThis is basically the Community String name that is used to determine NMS read-write level access to the SNMPAgent, for OIDs that also support the SET operation.

Note: See the "SNMP: Trap Host Configuration" section for Community String limitations.

Set pComm BaudrateIf you have an integrated Webpower adapter in your system, you should not need to change this setting. If you havean external WebPower adapter, you should select the option that matches the type of system that you have. Selecteither 1 for Smartpack/eNexus (38400bps) or 2 for AEON or MCU (9600bps).

SNMP MIB InformationDetails of SNMP MIBs. NMS configuration, and of SNMP in general, are beyond the scope of this document. Thissection is provided for the convenience of personnel knowledgeable in the application of SNMP devices.

The appropriate SNMP MIB (ELTEK-DCSYSTEM-MIB) is provided on the WebPower Companion CD-ROM andis required for configuration of the SNMP Network Management Station (NMS).

Eltek's unique Enterprise ID is 12148.

Standard OIDs required for Agent discovery are provided under the iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.system(1.3.6.1.2.1.1) namespace. Examples are as follows:

sysDescr.0="Eltek Energy SNMP Agent"

sysObjectID.0=enterprise.12148.4.2

sysUpTime.0=05:37:47

[email protected]

sysName.0="Eltek WebPower Demo"

sysLocation.0="Crystal Lake Illinois U.S.A"

sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation are Read-Write variables and may be GET and SET via the NMS. It isrecommended that the sysDescr or sysObjectID be used for discovery and polling purposes.

The header of the MIB file provides userful information such as MIB import dependencies, namespaces, etc. asfollows:-- Description:-- Eltek DC power system MIB-- Numerical: .1.3.6.1.4.1.12148.4-- ASN1: .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.eltek.dcSystem

56

Known IssuesThe following list of items represent known issues that exist in version xxx of WebPower 2.0 and are beingaddressed. Future releases of firmware updates will address and resolve these issues.

SNMP Agent

1. Recursive GET (MIB "walk") operations are unsupported by the current SNMP Agent implementation; use theGET NEXT method instead.

2. batteryHighMajorAlarmVoltageConfig.AEON Gold also automatically sets a 0,25Volt hysteresis.

3. batteryHighMinorAlarmVoltageConfig.AEON Gold does not contain this minor alarm, so this will always appear as 0Volts

4. batteryLowMajorAlarmVoltageConfig.AEON Gold also automatically sets a 0,25Volt hysteresis.

5. batteryLowMinorAlarmVoltageConfig.AEON Gold does not contain this minor alarm, so this will always appear as 0Volts

6. batteryMidpointDeltaLimitVoltageNot writable in AEON, appears as read only in AEON even if the mib states 'read/write'

7. batteryMidpointControlTable Not writable in AEON, appears as read only in AEON even if the mib states 'read/write'

8. loadLVD1Status, loadLVD2Status, loadLVD3StatusThese are the same status. AEON Gold have one common LVD status visible from the outside. When any of theLVDs changes state, all these flags changes at once.

9. rectifierUtilizationFor future use. Not yet implemented in the AEON, MCU, or Smartpack versions.

10. rectifiersStatusTablesrectifiers Status Tables is not implemented for AEON systems.

11. Alarms that cover two levels may skip the 'minor' step when an abrupt change in the source status occur. Whenthe source status of a two-level alarm goes directly from 'normal' to 'major', the traps perform the same change.

12. Node 3 (alarmMinorHighBattVoltAlarm), Node 4 (alarmMinorLowBattVoltAlarm), and Node 6(alarmMinorBatteryHighTempAlarm) are not implemented in AEON and will always remain off.

13. Node 18 (alarmBatteryLifeEnded) is not implemented in either AEON or MCU and will always remain off.14. The Read and Write Community Strings do not work properly. When the SNMP device is set for "Read

Community: Public" and "Write Community: Private", NMS must be set for "Read Community: Public" and"Write Community: Public" in order to read and write properly to any OID.

15. Midpoint Indexes and ID are read-only in SNMP. There is nowhere to enable these in WebPower.

WebPower GUI1. In an MCU system, there is no timer that resets the relay to its original state after testing. The individual relays

must be set manually to their original positions before leaving this page, otherwise, they will remain in their teststate.

2. Within the WebPower interface of an MCU system, the following voltage alarm set-points cannot be set:Battery Voltage Major-HighBattery Voltage Minor-HighBattery Voltage Major-LowBattery Voltage Minor-Low

3. The Disconnect/Reconnect LVD voltages can be changed through SNMP, but there is no way to control theirstate directly through SNMP (like a relay test function or Remote Battery Disconnect).

4. When values are changed through the controller front panel, the Webpower and SNMP values remainunchanged for up to 2 - 3 minutes while the controller communicates with the various components of the system.The updated values will then be displayed. Some examples of screens where this is the case are the MaximumCurrent, HighVolt1, HighVolt2, LowVolt1, and LowVolt2 settings.

5. For the Boost features, there is no SNMP OID for Max. Boost interval.

Chapter 8: Firmware UpdatesUpdating the WebPower adapter operating code ("firmware") is easily achieved. WebPower's hardware platformprovides flash program storage for simple code updates - over a network connection from any Windows PC that canaccess WebPower. Using the PC utilities provided on the WebPower Companion CD-ROM, this loading process canbe conducted across an entire network from a single location. This remote update capability is a major advantage tothe WebPower hardware platform.

Recognizing the platform-independence of WebPower, a serial update procedure is included here for users of non-Windows operating systems. This serial update process cannot be conducted remotely.

Firmware binary files are available from Eltek Energy whenever feature improvements are released. In most cases,Eltek sales agents are able to provide these updates free of charge to existing users.

Updates using the PC utilitiesAfter obtaining the firmware binary from Eltek, save the file to your PC. Browse the WebPower Companion CD-ROM and locate the AutoUpdate.exe file. This application provides the means to remotely load a new operatingimage into the WebPower adapter. Launch the application; the following screen should be displayed:

Click the "Reboot when complete" checkbox, as shown above. Use the "Browse" button to select the firmware filepreviously saved to your PC. Note that the file must follow the syntax "xxxxx_app.s19"; where "xxxxx" can be anycharacter string. The utility will not recognize files that do not conform to this naming convention.

The IP address field will be populated with the first WebPower adapter discovered by the application. By using theFind button, a list of all WebPower adapters will be displayed, as follows:

Highlight the adapter to be updated and click the OK button. The screen will close and revert to the main screen.Click the "Update" button and wait until the process is completed, as indicated by a progress bar and message box.The WebPower adapter has now been updated, rebooted, and is running the new application code.

Note: The IPSetup and AutoUpdate utilities use the same connection mechanism and cannot be run concurrently.

Updates via a serial connectionA serial terminal emulation application (client) is required on your PC. The WebPower adapter has an embedded bootloader that provides a flash loading capability over a serial connection. The following process employs the serialloader to allow updates to adapters when an Ethernet connection and/or Windows PC is not available. It is assumedthat the user is somewhat familiar with the operation of a terminal emulator application (example: Hyperterm forWindows platform).

Requirements� Any PC hardware and operating system capable of communicating on an RS-232 serial port at 115200-baud rate,

with a standard DTE serial port connector. � A terminal emulation program capable of VT-100 terminal emulation and binary file transfer.� A standard DTE to DCE serial cable. This is a "straight-through" wired cable. The DCE end of the cable must be

DB-9, while the DTE end of the cable is determined by the PC hardware.

Procedure1. With DC power removed, attach the serial cable between the PC and the WebPower adapter's COM0 port. 2. Launch the terminal emulator, as applicable, and configure the port settings as needed.3. Apply DC power to the WebPower adapter.4. A message should appear on the terminal almost immediately stating the following: "Waiting 2 sec to start 'A' to

abort". Before the 2 seconds expires, press "A" (capital A) and the Boot Monitor Prompt "NB>" should appear Ifthe time elapses, WebPower will start and it will be necessary to cycle power to the adapter and begin again.

5. At the NB> prompt, type FLA and press ENTER. FLA stands for Flash Application.6. Send the firmware (.S19) file by selecting the Transfer->Send File option from the terminal application (if a

"binary" mode is provided, use binary mode).7. As the download progresses, a "*" character will appear in the terminal window and the progress bar in the lower

left hand side of the window will move towards the right. 8. Upon completion of the transfer, the WebPower adapter is updated. It will then reboot and will be running the

new application code.

If errors are reported during the serial transfer, it may be necessary to add "line pacing" in the terminal settings.Typically, this is not required, but in some cases an additional 1 millisecond per line pacing will prevent errors wherelong serial cables are involved.
