3.2 Web mode
By default, the Ethernet Remote tries to periodically log data to the central web site, https://vrm.victronenergy.com, so that it
can be reviewed later. To do this, the Ethernet Remote needs to be able to access the internet via the local area network or the
GPRS network.
To view this data, go to

link" on the left, enter the serial number of your VER in the box provided, then click on the "Add site button". Your device will
now be listed at the top left of the page. You will probably want to change the device description to something more meaningful.
Tip: You can add multiple devices under the same account.
Click on the device description in the top left to view the data.
Note: Ask your network administrator if you need a HTTP proxy server to access the web sites in Internet. In such case, you
have to configure the HTTP proxy server with the help of VGR Configure tool.
3.3 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is enabled by default. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are supported. System MIB
(RFC1213) and UPS MIB (RFC1628) are supported.
UPS MIB supports
1.
Device identification group
2.
Battery group
3.
Input group
4.
Output group
5.
Alarm group
6.
Configuration group – upsConfigLowBattTime only
7.
Notifications (e.g. traps)
All essential information concerning UPS MIB is available when VER is connected to VE Bus system. One may get that
information using any available SNMP Management Software (i.e. MIB Browser).
Initial configuration of SNMP-related parameters should be done using VGR Configure software.
System MIB and UPS MIB variables described below could be set also using standard SNMP set operation. All the settings are
stored in flash and preserved after reboot.
3.3.1
SNMP community strings
Configure read-only and read-write Community strings.
1.
RO Community string is used for read-only access. The default value is public.
2.
RW Community string is used for read-write access. The default value is private.
Community strings should be the same as for MIB browser you are using.
Community strings should be of printable characters and of the length less or equal 32.
3.3.2
System MIB variables
Configure sysContact, sysName and sysLocation variables.
1.
sysContact : Identification of the contact person. For example: Dave Hum dave@hum.com. The default value is
empty string.
2.
sysName : domain name. For example: UPS#1.almere.victronenergy.com. The default value is empty string.
3.
sysLocation : Physical location. For example: Almere-Haven office, 2-nd floor. The default value is empty string.
Please refer to rfc1213 for the full description of the variables.
3.3.3
UPS MIB variables
Configure upsIdentName, upsIdentAttachedDevices and upsConfigLowBattTime variables.
1.
upsIdentName : string identifying UPS. For example: UPS with a red label. The default value is empty string.
2.
upsIdentAttachedDevices: devices attached.For example: Fun, Fridge. The default value is empty string.
3.
upsConfigLowBattTime : an estimated minutes remaining at which a 'Low Battery' condition is declared. This value
should depend on the system purposes and be set individually. The default value for upsConfigLowBattTime is 0.
Please refer to rfc1628 for the full description of the variables.
3.3.4
Traps
Traps are used to notify the SNMP Management Software about significant changes in the system, i.e. connection to VE Bus
system is lost, system is not running, different alarms have happened like 'Battery is low', or 'Battery is depleted' or 'Input is
bad', system state is changed like 'System on battery' or 'System Off'.
Use any available SNMP tool to receive traps.
Configure the following traps parameters.
1.
Trap Community string. It should be the same as for trap listener. The default value for Trap Community is public.
Trap Community should be of printable characters and of length less or equal 32.
2.
Trap Destination IP – the IP address of your PC where trap listener is running. By default no Trap Destinations are
configured.
3.
Trap Destination Port – the UDP port in your PC where trap listener is running on. The default value for the Trap
Destination Port is 162.
