UPS Power Management
Turning the UPS On and Off
The ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card supports the ability to remotely turn off the UPS and its supported load. It also supports the ability to reboot the UPS (cycling output power off and then back on), as well as the ability to schedule shutdowns and startups on a predetermined basis.
Selecting Control from the menu at the top of the home page provides a page that allows the Superuser to turn off the UPS. In addition, you may initiate a battery test and enable or disable any scheduled shutdowns or startups as specified in the UPS shutdown schedule table (accessed from the Configuration menu).

:Selecting Turn UPS Off turns off the output of the UPS. Any equipment powered by the UPS shuts down. Prepare the protected equipment for the shutdown.
:If you select Turn UPS Off with Load Segment to Restart following the Return of AC Power set to NO, you will have to manually restart the UPS after the shutdown occurs.
