Setting the UPS ID

You need to set the UPS ID typecode that indicates the manufacturer and model of the UPS.

To set the UPS ID:

1.Click on next to the SET UPS ID text box. A Model number menu displays. Scroll to highlight the appropriate UPS ID. (Consult the manual that was included when you purchased your UPS for the correct Model ID number.)

2.Click on the OK button. The UPS ID you have chosen displays in the text box, and the UPS window will be active.

If your UPS unit does not function after you have set this ID, check the manual you received with the UPS to ensure that you have chosen the correct UPS ID. If you need to change the ID, follow the directions given above.

Using the Test Option

You can use the test option to activate a self-test cycle for your unit. This self-test will check the viability of your unit and its battery.

To activate the test:

1.Click on the Test button. The unit will begin its self-test. The results of the test displays in the Test Result text box next to the Test button.

Using the Disconnect Option

You can disconnect the UPS attached to your MultiSwitch 700 through its COM port, as follows:

1.Click on the Disconnect button near the bottom of the UPS window. Your UPS will now be disconnected.

To reconnect, click OK button, or close, then re-open the UPS window.

Redirecting Traffic on the MultiSwitch 700 Module

The Port Redirector window (Figure 2-20) allows you to redirect traffic from one or more interfaces directly to another interface — essentially mirroring the traffic at the “redirect” interface. This feature is useful in that it allows you to use an external analyzer on the “redirect” port to analyze data, without disturbing the normal switching operations at the original source ports. The Port Redirector window displays the interface remap table and allows you to add new entries to and delete existing entries from this table. When you set a source port to redirect to a destination port, the destination port will transmit out all packets received or transmitted on the source port.
