UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide38
Outlet group events and traps. A change in the state of an outlet group generates the event UPS: Outlet
Group turned on with a severity of Informational, or UPS: Outlet Group turned off with a severity of
Warning. The format of event messages is “UPS: Outlet Gro up group_number, group_name, action due to
reason”. Fo r e xample:
UPS: Outlet Group 1, Web Server, turned on.
UPS: Outlet Group 3, Printer, turned off.
By default, the event generates an event lo g entry, e-mail, and a Syslog message.
If you configure trap receivers for the events, trap 298 is generated when an outl et gr oup tur ns on , and tr ap 299
is generated when an outlet group turns off. The event message is the trap argument. The default severity level
is the same as for the event.
The power settings option
Path: UPS > Configuration > power settings
This option is not available for all UPS devices.
The available settings differ based on the UPS model. For detailed information about any fields
available through the power setting option and specific to your UPS model, see the online help.
You can configure the following types of model-specific items:
• Volt age settings that determine the voltage at which the UPS begins to use automatic voltage regulation
or switches to battery operation and that de termine how sensitive the UPS is to voltage va riation
• Bypass settings define conditions under which the UPS can switch to bypass mode
• Alarm thresholds based on available runtime and redundant power and on UPS load
The shutdown option
Path: UPS > Configuration > shutdown
Use this option to configure your shutdowns by specifying durations on battery, delays before shutting down
and restarting, minimum runtime and charge before restarting, etc.
This option enables you to use the PowerChute Network Shutdown utility to shut down a maximum
of 50 servers on the network that use a client version of the utility.
Setting Description

not available with all
outlet groups)
•When a power failure is longer than the number of seconds you specify.
•When the remaining UPS runtime is less than the number of seconds you specify.
•The UPS is overloaded (the power demand of the models connected to the UPS exceeds the

• Ski p outlet off delays. (Turn the outlet group off immediately, without waiting the number of
seconds configured as Power Off Delay. By default, this option is disabled.)

option is disabled, and the UPS waits the number of seconds configured as Power On Delay,
then turns on the outlet groups.)
