UPS Status

The BCM50 can support an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) device to ensure continuous
operation during power interruption and failure conditions. The UPS feature provides power
source monitoring and battery backup so that critical system functionality required to maintain and
provide warning time to either correct the problem or to activate a contingency plan for impacted
services is possible. UPS is described in the BCM50 Installation and Maintenance Guide
(NN40020-302), and the BCM50 Installation Checklist and Quick Start Guide (NN40020-308).
The UPS connects and communicates with the BCM50 through USB. Enabling the UPS feature
requires plugging the UPS USB cable into the BCM50 USB connector before powering up the
BCM50. The UPS must be present during the boot up process for the BCM50 to function.
This section provides the procedure that describes how “To access UPS Status”.

To access UPS Status

1To access the UPS Status, open the Element Manager, click the Administration tab, click
System Status in the directory tree, and then click UPS Status.
The UPS Status then displays.
G.723-5.3kbit/s Displays the current MOS value calculated when using a G.723 5.3 kbit/s codec to
transmit VoIP packets to this Remote Gateway.
The MOS can be a value from 0.00 to 5.00, where 0.00 is the worst score (Poor)
and 5.00 is best score (Excellent).
G.723-6.3kbit/s Displays the current MOS value calculated when using a G.723 6.3 kbit/s codec to
transmit VoIP packets to this Remote Gateway.
The MOS can be a value from 0.00 to 5.00, where 0.00 is the worst score (Poor)
and 5.00 is best score (Excellent).
G.729 Displays the current MOS value calculated when using a G.729 codec to transmit
VoIP packets to this Remote Gateway.
The MOS can be a value from 0.00 to 5.00, where 0.00 is the worst score (Poor)
and 5.00 is best score (Excellent).
G.729A Displays the current MOS value calculated when using a G.729A codec to transmit
VoIP packets to this remote Gateway.
The MOS can be a value from 0.00 to 5.00, where 0.00 is the worst score (Poor)
and 5.00 is best score (Excellent).
