information).

select
Control from the menu at the top of the home
page.
2. Become a Superuser and then select
Initiate Battery Test,
followed by
Set Values to start the process.
Viewing the UPS History Logs
Selecting UPS History from the menu at the top of the home
page allows you to choose the current
UPS Data Log and UPS
Event Log
. The data log provides numerical data logged once a
minute from the UPS. The event log contains text messages
regarding the status of the UPS and the ConnectUPS
Web/SNMP Card. Past data and event logs are also accessible,
as well as a data log applet that displays the data in a graphical
format.
UPS Management from an SNMP NMS
To access the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card via SNMP, use the
following steps:
1. Use these Community strings:
GET Community string: public
SET Community string: private
By default, the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Card’s Write
Access Managers table is configured for read-only
SNMP access to any NMS with a public community
string. An NMS with a private community string has
read/write SNMP access.
NOTE For security, it is recommended to change the Write Access
Managers table using specific IP addresses and nonstandard community
strings.
