1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
American Power Conversion’s Call-UPS II is a remote UPS management
device that allows you to monitor and control your
APC UPS by modem.
It provides the following features:
• Remote
UPS status display
• Remote
UPS control (e.g., safe reboot during power
outage or when the server is down)
• Data and event logging
• Operator paging in case of trouble
Call-UPS II works with any
APC Smart-UPS
TM
, Matrix-UPS
TM
or
Symmetra
TM
Power Array
TM
. It draws power from the UPS, and can be
used with the
APC Measure-UPS
TM
Environmental Monitor and the APC
PowerNet
TM
SNMP Adapter
TM
.
Call-
UPS II comes in two versions: as an external device (AP9208) and
as a SmartSlot
TM
card (AP9608). SmartSlot Call-UPS II mounts in all APC
devices equipped with a SmartSlot. The external Call-UPS II connects to
the
UPS communications port.
1.2 Hardware Requirements
Call-UPS II requires an APC Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS, Symmetra Power
Array or other
APC device equipped with a SmartSlot. For paging or re-
mote management, Call-
UPS II requires both a modem that understands
industry standard
AT commands, and a telephone line. For configuration,
Call-
UPS II requires local DTE equipment — either a dumb terminal or a
computer running terminal emulation software (e.g., HyperTerminal). A
remote management site requires its own computer with modem and ter-
minal emulation software. The communications rate for Call-
UPS II can
be configured to 1200, 2400, 9600, and 19,200 baud. The default is
9600.
