1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
American Power Conversion’s Call- UPS II is a remote UPS management device that allows you to monitor and control your APC UPS by modem. It provides the following features:
•Remote UPS status display
•Remote UPS control (e.g., safe reboot during power outage or when the server is down)
•Data and event logging
•Operator paging in case of trouble
Call-UPS II works with any APC Smart-UPSTM, Matrix-UPSTMor SymmetraTM Power ArrayTM. It draws power from the UPS, and can be used with the APC Measure-UPSTMEnvironmental Monitor and the APC PowerNetTM SNMP AdapterTM.
Call-UPSII comes in two versions: as an external device (AP9208) and as a SmartSlotTM card (AP9608). SmartSlot Call-UPSII mounts in all APC devices equipped with a SmartSlot. The external Call-UPSII connects to the UPS communications port.
1.2 Hardware Requirements
Call-UPSII requires an APC Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS, Symmetra Power Array or other APC device equipped with a SmartSlot. For paging or re- mote management, Call-UPSII requires both a modem that understands industry standard AT commands, and a telephone line. For configuration, Call-UPSII requires local DTE equipment — either a dumb terminal or a computer running terminal emulation software (e.g., HyperTerminal). A remote management site requires its own computer with modem and ter- minal emulation software. The communications rate for Call-UPSII can be configured to 1200, 2400, 9600, and 19,200 baud. The default is 9600.
