Networking
BULLDOG Plus software is comprised of two modules: BULLDOG Service and BULLDOG Monitor. You may run both the programs in a computer to monitor your localized UPS or run the programs in two different computers.
Operation Mode:
BULLDOG Service can operate in "Master" Mode (which allows BULLDOG to send commands to its connected UPS) in "Serial Slave" mode (which listens to its connected UPS) or in "Networking Slave" mode (which obtains the UPS information from Master via the network). If two or more computers are communicating with a single UPS, only one of these computers should be in Master mode; the others should be in Slave mode to prevent them from sending contradictory commands.
When a power event occurs, the Master gets the information then transmits it to Salve(s). Each BULLDOG Service executes different "Actions"(FlexEvent) so that the system manager can configure different strategies into each different computer. For example: When a power failure occurs, the file server and mail server won't shutdown until the UPS battery is low, but other less important workstations execute shutdown after 5 minutes, and the initial workstations shutdown after 10 minutes. Shutting down workstations preserves more battery power for your mission critical network servers.
Remote Monitoring and Control:
Bulldog Monitor has the ability to monitor Local hosts and Remote hosts.
