22UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide
Outlet group events and traps. A change in the state of an outlet group generates the event UPS: Outlet
Group turned on with a severity of Informational, or UPS: Outlet Group turned off with a severity of
Warning. The format of event messages is “UPS: Outlet Group group_number, group_name, action due to
reason”. For example:
UPS: Outlet Group 1, Web Server, turned on.
UPS: Outlet Group 3, Printer, turned off.
By default, the event generates an Event Log entry, e-mail, and a Syslog message.
If you configure trap receivers for the events, trap 298 is generated when an outlet group turns on, and trap 299
is generated when an outlet group turns off. The event message is the trap argument. The default severity level
is the same as for the event.
Power Settings on Configuration menu
Path: Configuration > Power Settings
The available settings differ based on the UPS device.
The Rated Output Voltage is the AC voltage the UPS supplies to the load. You can configure the following
types of device-specific items:
• Upper and Lower Voltage settings determine the ranges at which the UPS automatically regulates
battery output to the load. This protects the load.
When the upper voltage is breached, the UPS uses its AVR Trim feature; when the lower voltage is
breached, the UPS uses its AVR Boost feature (or it switches to battery operation if the UPS does not
have AVR Boost).
• Enabling Green Mode runs the UPS in bypass, which uses energy more efficiently. However, in green
mode the speed of transferring to the UPS battery power when necessary is slower. If your environment
needs a fast switching time, you can disable green mode.
• Electrical noise is unwanted electromagnetic energy which lowers the quality of signals and data.
When there is too much noise, your UPS intervenes by supplying battery power. You can specify the
response to noise through Sensitivity. Use the Reduced and Low options in the Sensitivity drop-down
box when there is a lot of noise.
• Output Watt Rating: the maximum power rating to meet the requirements of your load devices
• Bypass settings define conditions under which the UPS can switch to bypass mode
• Alarm thresholds are based on available runtime and redundant power and on UPS load
Shutdown on Configuration menu
Path: Configuration > Shutdown
Use this option to configure your shutdowns by specifying durations on battery, delays before shutting down
and restarting, minimum runtime and charge required before restarting, etc. These Shutdown options help to
ensure shutdowns with protection.
See the table below and also “Controlled Early Shutdown and End of Shutdown”.
