SNMP/HTTP/HTTPS over the preconfigured network Host connection.
When you select a network UPS connection, then the corresponding Host Name/Description
that you set up for that connection will be entered as the Name and Description for the power
device. Or, if you selected to Connect Via a USB or serial connection then you will need to
enter a Name and Description for the power device (and these details will also be used to
create a new Managed Device entry for the serial/USB connected UPS devices).
Enter the login details. This Username and Password is used by slaves of this UPS (that is, other
computers that are drawing power through this UPS) to connect to the console server to
monitor the UPS status so they can shut themselves down when battery power is low.
Monitoring will typically be performed using the upsmon client running on the slave server
(refer to Section 8.2.3)
