Newmar Powering the Network

If your default Windows settings won’t access the controller, use a crossover cable to connect between your laptop and SPM, follow these steps to reach the SPMs IP.

1. Close network programs and browsers
2. Go to the Network Settings – Local Area Network or use the keyboard shortcut – type “ncpa.cpl” and click OK
3. Right click on your LAN connection and choose “Properties”
4. Highlight “Internet Protocol” and click the “Properties” button
5. Make note of the current settings
6. Select “Use the following IP address”
7. Enter an IP address such as 192.168.1.100
8. Enter a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
9. Delete any gateway entry
10. Close all windows for the configuration to take effect
11. Start your Browser and type 192.168.1.123 in the URL field (The index page should be displayed)
12. The default user name is “Admin” and password is “admin”
13. Set the IP address of the unit to your network, then restore your settings

The IP Reset Button is located directly under the RJ45 Ethernet connector on the side of the SPM. To perform a “simple” reset, use a paperclip or jeweller’s screwdriver (using pens or pencils is not recommended, since ink or graphite particles could rub off and get into the unit) to press and hold the switch for about 15-20 seconds, or until the left hand side LED (amber/yellow) starts flashing. Release the switch and wait for the LED (amber/yellow) to stop flashing and the right hand side LED (green) to resume its normal pattern. After a “simple” reset, the following settings will be reset to factory default:

IP Address: 192.168.1.123
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
User: Admin
Password: admin

Once logged in you can change your password by going to Config/Names and Passwords located on the left hand panel.

1. Verify power light is on and status light is blinking
2. Check that the input DC is good (+9 – +60VDC) and wires are properly stripped

• Verify that you are using a standard network cable, the supplied crossover cable is only needed when connecting directly between your computed and SPM.
• Use crossover cable to connect directly to SPM and verify that you are able to connect to SPM, if you are able to connect to SPM then the SPM is running correctly and there is an issue with your network. If you are still unable to connect refer to “Q: I cannot connect to SPM home page” section.
• Consult with your IT department for correct network configuration.
• Check that your network firewall is not blocking the SPMs IP address.

Answer: The MIB for the unit can be found in three places.

1. Download from the “SNMP Set-up” page (“Download MIB”) under “Configuration”
2. On the CD-ROM included with your SPM-200
3. Download from our website. Note there are multiple rev’s of the firmware, note which rev you have by the label on the bottom of the product.

Answer: You can perform a “get” for the three DC measurements that are a factor of 10x the measurement (e.g. 13.5 will be 135).

VoltsDC1X10Data
VoltsDC2X10Data
VoltsDC3X10Data

The SPM-200 will need to be returned to Newmar for repair. Contact us to receive an RMA.

Incompatible browser. Use a different browser or use default alarm names in drop down list. Known good browsers are Google Chrome version 41.0.2272.118 and Internet Explorer 11

Both 90 – 264 VAC utility power (L-N or L-L) and 90 – 264 VAC inverter output (floating) have an accuracy of +/-5%, there is no calibration available for these measurements.

You can get the current data by:

Accessing the XML from http://your SPM IP Address/data/xml.
or
Using syslog, which you can configure under Config/Syslog to send data to a third party syslog server.
