Master server A “master” server is a server or other device connected to

versus other port 1, the Advanced port of Share-UPS. This server uses

serversPowerChute plus, configured for smart signaling, to moni- tor and control the UPS. Although the Advanced port on Share-UPS can provide simple signaling, we strongly rec- ommend using it for smart signaling with the advanced capabilities of PowerChute plus.

Servers connected to the Basic ports of Share-UPS use sim- ple signaling with PowerChute or PowerChute plus to provide UPS shutdown capabilities and advanced notifica- tion features. If you are running PowerChute plus on these servers, you must configure it for simple signaling. See “Configuring PowerChute plus for simple signaling,” on page 12.
