Master server
versus other
servers
A “master” server is a server or other device connected to
port 1, the Advanced port of Share-UPS. This server uses
PowerChute plus, configured for smart signaling, to moni-
tor and control the UPS. Although the Advanced port on
Share-UPS can provide simple signaling, we strongly rec-
ommend using it for smart signaling with the advanced
capabilities of PowerChute plus.
Servers connected to the Basic ports of Share-UPS use sim-
ple signaling with PowerChute or PowerChute plus to
provide UPS shutdown capabilities and advanced notifica-
tion features. If you are running PowerChute plus on these
servers, you must configure it for simple signaling. See
“Configuring PowerChute plus for simple signaling,” on
page 12.
