UPS Power Management

Performing a Manual UPS Battery Test

You can use the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card to manually perform a UPS battery test. The ability to test the UPS is model dependent (consult your UPS documentation for more information).

1.To manually start a battery test on a specific UPS, select Control from the menu at the top of the home page.

2.Become a Superuser and then select Initiate Battery Test, followed by Set Values to start the process.

Viewing the UPS History Logs

Selecting UPS History from the menu at the top of the home page allows you to choose the current UPS Data Log and UPS Event Log. The data log provides numerical data logged once a minute from the UPS. The event log contains text messages regarding the status of the UPS and the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card. Past data and event logs are also accessible, as well as a data log applet that displays the data in a graphical format.

UPS Management from an SNMP NMS

To access the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card via SNMP, use the following steps:

1.Use these Community strings:

GET Community string: public

SET Community string: private

By default, the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card’s Write Access Managers table is configured for read-only SNMP access to any NMS with a public community string. An NMS with a private community string has read/write SNMP access.

NOTE For security, it is recommended to change the Write Access Managers table using specific IP addresses and nonstandard community strings.
