attempt from master MMM

The master named MMM (probably an IP address) contacted the slave but

MMMis not the master that was listed on the MASTER configuration directive in /etc/apcupsd.conf, and consequently, it is not authorized to communicate with the slave. Please check that your MASTER and SLAVE names in your slave and master configuration files respectively are correct.

failure from socket

The slave got an error reading the socket open to the master. This indicates a fundamental networking problem.

APC magic from master: MMM

The slave received a code key from the master that does not correspond to the one expected by the slave. The most common cause of this problem is that you are running a different version of apcupsd on the master and the slave. Please ensure that you are running the same version of apcupsd on all your master and slaves.

user magic from master: MMM

This message indicates that the master and slave have previously communi- cated, but that the code key transmitted with the most recent message from the master does not correspond to what the slave expects. This problem is probably due to a network error or some other user or machine contacting the slave on the network port.

Master/Slave Connection Not Working:

Master/slave problems are usually related to one of the following items:

1.Improper apcupsd.conf files. A good starting point are the mas- ter/slave example files in the examples subdirectory of the source.

2.Master or slave IP address or name incorrect. Try ping’ing each ma- chine from the other using the names or addresses that you have put in the respective apcupsd.conf files.

3.Make sure no other program is using socket number 6666 or change the NETPORT directive in both apcupsd.conf files.

4.Make sure you are using the same version of apcupsd on both the master and slave machines.

UPS control system specifications

APC UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) control systems are vital components for ensuring uninterrupted power supply and protecting critical equipment from power interruptions, surges, or fluctuations. Designed by Schneider Electric, APC UPS systems are renowned for their high quality and reliability. They utilize advanced technologies and features to suit diverse applications, from home offices to large industrial settings.

One of the main features of APC UPS systems is the ability to provide backup power during outages. This is achieved through a battery system that activates immediately when the mains power fails. This seamless transition minimizes downtime and ensures that electronic devices continue to operate, protecting data integrity and equipment lifespan.

Another significant characteristic of APC UPS systems is their intelligent management capabilities. Most models come with PowerChute software, which provides users with real-time monitoring of power conditions and the status of the UPS. This software allows for graceful shutdowns of connected devices during extended outages, thereby preventing data loss and damage to devices.

APC UPS systems also incorporate advanced technologies such as Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR). AVR technology ensures that the output voltage remains stable by correcting minor fluctuations without switching to battery mode. This not only prolongs the battery life but also provides a consistent power supply to the connected equipment.

Thermal management is another critical aspect of APC UPS control systems. The design often includes efficient cooling systems that prevent overheating, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the unit. Some models feature EcoMode, which reduces energy consumption and lowers operational costs by working at high efficiency only when battery backup is not required.

APC UPS systems are designed with scalability in mind. Users can easily add more batteries or connect additional UPS units to accommodate growing power needs. Features such as hot-swappable batteries and modular design facilitate easy upgrades and servicing without interrupting power supply.

In terms of connectivity, APC UPS products often feature multiple options including USB, RS-232, and network management capabilities. This enables users to connect remote management tools and integrate the UPS with existing IT infrastructure.

In summary, APC UPS control systems deliver reliability, efficiency, and advanced technology features that cater to a wide array of power protection needs, making them a trusted choice for individuals and businesses alike.
