UPS Power Management

C A U T I O N

Selecting Turn UPS Off turns off the output of the UPS. Any equipment powered by the UPS shuts down, as well as the external BestLink Adapter. Prepare the protected equipment for the shutdown. If you select Turn UPS Off with Restart UPS once AC Power Returns set to NO, you will have to manually restart the UPS after the shutdown occurs.

Planning a Scheduled UPS Shutdown and Restart

You may use the BestLink Adapter to schedule the day of the week and time of a shutdown and a restart. The ability to schedule shutdowns and restarts is UPS dependent, so consult your UPS documentation for more information.

1.Select Configuration from the menu at the top of the home page, then

UPS Shutdown Schedule.

2.You may configure up to seven event pairs. Enter the upcoming

Shutdown Day and Shutdown Time, and if needed, the Restart Day and

Restart Time. Times are in 24-hour format based on the date and time set within the BestLink Adapter. You must login as a Superuser to update the BestLink Adapter and select Set Values.

3.Once the values are set, select Control from the menu at the top of the home page.

4.Then select Enable UPS Shutdown Schedule, followed by Set Values to start the process. Any shutdown/restart events repeat until you change the table or select Disable UPS Shutdown Schedule.

NOTE Before scheduling any shutdowns or startups, you must configure the date and time within the BestLink Adapter.

Configuring E-mail Notification

1.Select Configuration from the menu at the top of the home page, then

E-mail Notification .

2.Become a Superuser and then enter the IP address or Hostname of an SMTP mail server that will be used to send the e-mail messages.
