Power over Ethernet BT PowerView Pro User Guide
Introduction to PowerView Pro (IPv4 and IPv6)
Microchip’s PowerView Pro refers to a Web + SNMP interface that enables overall management capabilities for
monitoring and controlling Microchip’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) Midspans. Management can be carried out over
IPv4, IPv6, or both network protocols. The system provides direct online power supervision, configuration, monitoring,
and diagnostics of Microchip products through Web/SNMPv2c/SNMPv3/Telnet/SSH.
Note:  The principle of operation is similar for all Midspan models described in this user guide.
Features
The Midspan management provides unique features with multiple access options:
• Supported network IP protocols:
– IPv4—IP address is 32 bits (static/DHCPv4).
– IPv6—IP address is 128 bits (static/DHCPv6).
• Access options:
– HTTP: Web-based friendly configuration interface for managing remote PoE devices.
– SSL: Secured web-based configuration.
– SNMP: SNMPv2c and secured as well as encrypted SNMPv3 (legacy SNMPv1 is also supported).
• RFC3621 PoE SNMP MIBs.
• Private MIB extension for RFC3621 PoE MIB.
– Telnet: Remote terminal over Ethernet network.
– SSH: Remote encrypted terminal over Ethernet network.
• RADIUS: Authentication and accounting for web/Telnet/SSH remote web users.
• SysLog server: Sends log events to a remote SysLog server.
• Automatic Service Configuration by DHCP: Enables DHCP servers to automatically configure Midspan SNMP
Manager's IP address, SysLog servers IP address, and Radius servers IP address.
• Access List Filtering: Controls which remote host or network can manage the Midspan device, and through
which management interfaces, such as SNMP, Telnet, Web, and so on.
• Easy software update during runtime without affecting active PoE ports.
• Configuration and real-time monitoring using graphical representations of the remote device.
• System status display.
• Automatic activation or deactivation of PoE ports based on weekly schedule configuration.
• Automatic deactivation of low priority ports when UPS battery is low.
• Power backup by second Midspan or external power source.
