Turning the UPS On and Off
The ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card supports the ability to
remotely turn off the UPS and its supported load. It also
supports the ability to reboot the UPS (cycling output power
off and then back on), as well as the ability to schedule
shutdowns and startups on a predetermined basis.
Selecting
Control from the menu at the top of the home page
provides a page that allows the Superuser to turn off the UPS.
In addition, you may initiate a battery test and enable or
disable any scheduled shutdowns or startups as specified in the
UPS shutdown schedule table (accessed from the
Configuration menu).
CAUTION
: Selecting Turn UPS Off turns off the output of the UPS. Any equipment
powered by the UPS shuts down. Prepare the protected equipment for
the shutdown.
: If you select Turn UPS Off with Load Segment to Restart following
the Return of AC Power
set to NO, you will have to manually restart
the UPS after the shutdown occurs.
Forcing the UPS to Shut Down
1. Select Configuration from the menu at the top of the
home page, then
UPS Event Actions.
2. Log in as a Superuser.
3. Select
UPS Shutdown and Restart Settings.
4. Verify
Load Segment to Turn Off following OS Shutdown is
set to
YES.
5. Set the appropriate
Delay Before Segment Turns Off
following the start of the Client’s OS Shutdown
in seconds
to ensure that any NetWatch clients and their
respective operating systems have enough time to
complete their shutdown. The default is 180 seconds,
but you may wish to increase or decrease this value as
appropriate for your system.
