Black Box LES1348A RPC Connections, # config -s config.ups.monitors.total=1, Remote UPSes

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.

However FYI 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
