Outlet Groups (Smart-UPS XLM)
The UPS provides AC output to three groups of AC outlets. By controlling each outlet
group remotely, you can start or stop devices sequentially and restart locked devices.
How outlet groups turn on and off depends on how they are configured and how
you turn the UPS on or off:
• Until you configure the actions described in The control option and their related
delays described in The settings option (including automatic load-shedding), when
you turn on the UPS output, any outlet group that is off turns on by default and
applies power to all devices attached to the outlets in that group.
• After you configure the actions and delays:
– The actions and delays control how outlet groups turn on and off when you turn the
UPS on or off from the user interface of the Network Management Card.
– When you turn on the UPS from its front panel, each group turns on after the
number of seconds configured for Power On Delay.
– When you turn off a UPS with outlet groups at its front panel, all outlets turn off
immediately.
Initiate Select a diagnostic procedure to perform immediately: a test of the UPS audible
alarm, a UPS self-test, or a run-time calibration.
When you test the alarm of a member of a Synchronized Control Group:
• In the Web interface, this option tests the alarms of all enabled members of the
group.
• In the control console, you can choose to test only the initiating UPS or all
members of the group.
• In SNMP, you can set the OID upsAdvControlFlashAndBeep to flashAndBeep
(2) to test the alarm of an individual UPS or to flashAndBeepSyncGroup (3) to
test the alarms of all enabled group members.
