UPS Power Management
Turning the UPS On and Off
The BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter 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 restarts 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 the UPS off. 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).
Forcing the UPS to Shut Down
1.Select Configuration from the menu at the top of the home page, then
UPS Shutdown and Restart Settings.
2.Verify that UPS to Shut Down following Client OS Shutdown is set to YES.
3.Log in as a Superuser.
4.Set the appropriate Delay Before Shutdown in minutes to ensure that any NetWatch clients and their respective operating systems have enough time to complete their shutdown. The default is three minutes, but you may wish to increase or decrease this value as appropriate for your system.
5.If you want to shut off the UPS and have it stay off (requiring local interaction to turn it back on), change Restart UPS once AC Power Returns to NO.
If you want to effectively reboot the UPS and the associated load, then set Restart UPS once AC Power Returns to YES. The UPS will automatically restart when utility power returns after a brief delay.
6.After choosing the desired values, select Set Values to update the BestLink Adapter with the new information.
7.You may then select Control from the menu at the top of the home page and select Turn UPS Off.
8.To initiate the shutdown sequence, select Set Values which instructs the BestLink Adapter to send the appropriate information to the UPS and any clients running the NetWatch shutdown client software.
