Black Box 1101, 1102 manual RPC Connections, # config -s config.ups.monitors.total=1, Remote UPSes

1101 and 1102 Secure Device Servers

#config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.option1.opt=option

#config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.option1.arg=argument

#config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.total=1

#config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.log.enabled=on

#config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.log.interval=2

#config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.script.enabled=on

Make sure to increment the total monitors:

# config -s config.ups.monitors.total=1

The five commands below will add the UPS to Managed devices. Assuming there are already two managed devices configured:

#config -s "config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.name=My UPS"

#config -s "config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.type=UPS Unit"

#config -s "config.devices.device3.name=My UPS"

#config -s "config.devices.device3.description=UPS in toom 5"

#config -s config.devices.total=3

To delete this managed UPS:

# config -d config.ups.monitors.monitor1

Decrement monitors.total when deleting a managed UPS.

Remote UPSes

To add a remote UPS with the following details (assuming this is our first remote UPS):

UPS name	oldUPS
Description	UPS in room 2
Address	192.168.50.50
Log status	Disabled
Log rate	240 seconds
Run shutdown script	Enabled

#config -s config.ups.remotes.remote1.name=oldUPS

#config -s "config.ups.remotes.remote1.description=UPS in room 2"

#config -s config.ups.remotes.remote1.address=192.168.50.50

#config -d config.ups.remotes.remote1.log.enabled

#config -s config.ups.remotes.remote1.log.interval=240

#config -s config.ups.remotes.remote1.script.enabled=on

#config -s config.ups.remotes.total=1

The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:

#config -a

14.10RPC Connections

You can add an RPC connection from the command line. We do not recommend that you do this because of dependency issues.

Before adding an RPC, the Management Console GUI code makes sure that at least one port has been configured to run in 'device mode', and that the device is set to 'rpc'.

To add an RPC with the following values:
RPC type	APC 7900
Connected via	Port 2
UPS name	MyRPC
Description	RPC in room 5
Login name for device	rpclogin
Login password for device	secret
SNMP community	v1 or v2c
Logging	Enabled
Log interval	600 second
Number of power outlets	4 (depends on the type/model of the RPC)
