Powerware IPK-0318 Set Trap Receivers, Set IP Addresses of Primary and Secondary Date Server

Local Configuration

Set Trap Receivers

For those users who intend to use an SNMP-compatible NMS to manage the BestLink Adapter, the IP address of the machine intended to be the trap receiver must be added in the list on the BestLink Adapter. Use this function to add or delete the IP address of the trap receivers (option 4).

Set IP Addresses of Primary and Secondary Date Server

Use this function to set the IP addresses of the primary and secondary date servers (option 5). Making changes to these parameters is allowed via the HTML interface for easy updating. To reset the adapter to the default values (0.0.0.0), you must program the BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter via the serial configuration to “Reset Configuration to Default.”

NOTE Resetting the adapter changes the entire BestLink Adapter configuration to the default values.

Computer systems with the BestLink Adapter-compatible NetWatch client software are periodically monitored by the BestLink Adapter to maintain a consistent date and time with your network. Failing to program the primary and secondary date server parameters to some value other than 0.0.0.0, causes the BestLink Adapter to check all NetWatch clients (if present on the network) for the best average time.

UPS Event Actions

Use this function to configure actions that the BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter performs during AC Fail and Low Battery events (option 6). This information is accessible via the HTTP interface for easy modification after the adapter is on the network.

Set UPS Information

Use this function to enter additional information about the UPS including date of installation and date of last battery replacement (option 7). In addition, set timing values relating to the shutdown and restart of the UPS via this function. This information is accessible via the HTTP interface for easy modification after the adapter is on the network.
