If you are using an SNMP hardware card with your UPS, there can be a conflict with the SNMP
ports used. Liebert MultiLink must take ownership of ports 162/161 to communicate with the
SNMP-enabled UPS. In this case, the Windows SNMP services (if running) will cause a conflict. If
you are using an SNMP hardware card, you must disable the SNMP services. To check these
services:
• Run the Computer Management application by pressing the Start button, then clicking on
Programs, Administrative Tools, and finally Computer Management.
• Expand the Services and Applications item in the tree and then click on Services.

stopped and/or disabled before you can install Liebert MultiLink.
