UPS POWER MANAGEMENT

You can manage the UPS from a web browser or from an SNMP network management system.

UPS Management from a Web Browser

When using a web browser to access the BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter, the majority of UPS-related information is available by selecting any of the following menu options:

:Identification

:UPS Monitoring

:UPS History

:Configuration

:Control

:Registered Clients

:Help

Each menu and submenu selection has online help available.

Becoming a Superuser

Several menus allow UPS and BestLink Adapter parameters to be modified by the user. However, many of these are password-protected for the Superuser. To become a Superuser, you must log in with a user name and provide a password. Both are configurable by serial or telnet connection. The default user name and password are admin.

NOTE Once you have become a Superuser, it is important to completely exit the browser if you wish to set the security level back to the standard read-only level.
