Monitor the UPS
The Business Communications Manager UPS service communicates with the UPS device through
a serial (DB9) cable. The UPS service provides the following capabilities:
• Monitors the UPS using the COM port. The BCM polls the UPS device every 60 seconds.
• Power source failure notification is sent to the OAM and alarm subsystem and to the recovery
application.
• Provides a warning signal when UPS battery power is low.
• Allows you to perform a remote UPS shutdown.
• Allows an auto power off for the Business Communications Manager.
There are two methods to monitor the UPS:
1 Select the UPS Status monitor tab to monitor the UPS device only (see “Access the UPS
Status monitor” on page 28)
2 Select the UPS Status report to monitor the UPS device and BCM UPS service (see “Access
the UPS Status monitor” on page 28).
