Backup and Smart outlets
When the Back-UPS is receiving input power, all outlets, Master, Backup and both Smart Outlets will supply
power to connected equipment.
During a power outage or other AC problems, all outlets should be supplying backup power to each outlet. Smart
Outlets can be configured to turn off outlets or be configured to be surge only. Here are the scenarios where a Smart
Outlet is not supplying backup power or is off.
a. User has remotely turned off Smart Outlet
b. Energy Management has been enabled and the load on the Master Outlet is below the threshold
where Energy Managed Smart Outlets are turned off.
c. The Watchdog feature has been enabled and a loss of network connectivity has been detected and the
Smart Outlet is temporarily off as part of the reboot process.
d. The Smart Outlet has been configured to not provide Backup power and is in a surge only
configuration.
