33UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide
Actions (for a single UPS and Synchronized Control Groups)
Use the actions described in the following table for individual UPSs and for Synchronized Control
Groups, within these guidelines:
• All actions except Put UPS In Bypass and Take UPS Off Bypass are supported:
– For Synchronized Control Groups of Symmetra UPS or Smart-UPS models
– For individual APC UPSs
• Put UPS in Bypass and Take UPS Off Bypass are supported:
– Only for individual UPSs, not for Synchronized Control Groups
– Only for Symmetra UPS and some Smart-UPS models
Note: When you select Signal PowerChute Network Shutdown Clients in the
Web interface, initiating a Turn UPS Off, Reboot UPS, or Put UPS To Sleep
action is equivalent to selecting
GraceOff (turn off the UPS gracefully),
GraceReboot (reboot UPS gracefully), or GraceSleep (put the UPS to sleep
gracefully) in the command line interface.
For more information about the delays and settings in the following table, see
“Configuration Pages” on page 35 and “Sync Control Page” on page 42. To apply
UPS Alarm Test to a Synchronized Control Group, see “Diagnostics Page” on
page 38.
Action Definition
Turn UPS On (Web
interface)
ups -c On
(command line
interface)
Turns on power at the UPS.
• For a UPS model with outlet groups, this action then turns on the outlet groups
according to the value for Power On Delay for each group. See “The settings
option (including automatic load-shedding)” on page 40.
• For a Synchronized Control Group, after a delay of a few seconds, the action turns
on all enabled group members that have input power.
Turn UPS Off (Web
interface)
ups -c Off
(command line
interface)
Turns off the output power of the UPS and (for a UPS model with outlet groups) of
all its outlet groups immediately, without a shutdown delay. The UPS and all its
outlet groups remain off until you turn on its power again.
For a Synchronized Control Group, this action turns off power at all enabled
members of the group. No Shutdown Delay value is used. The UPSs turn off after a
few seconds and remain off until you turn on their power. See “The shutdown
option” on page 36.
N
OTE: For a synchronized turn-off action that uses the value of the Shutdown
Delay of the initiating UPS, use SNMP. For the upsAdvControlUpsOff OID, set the
value to turnUpsSyncGroupOffAfterDelay (5).
ups -c GraceOff
(command line
interface)
Turns off outlet power of the UPS and (for a UPS model with outlet groups) all its
outlet groups after the Maximum Required Delay and the configured Shutdown
Delay. See “PowerChute Options” on page 44.
