Parameter Description
Group
Membership
Determines whether this Synchronized Control Group member is an active
member of its group. If you disable group membership, this UPS functions as
if it were not a member of any Synchronized Control Group. When you enable
or disable Group Membership, the change causes the management interface
to reboot the next time you log out. The change takes effect at that time.
Control Group
Number
The unique identifier of the Synchronized Control Group of which this
Management Card’s UPS is a member. This value must be a number from 1
through 65534. A UPS can be a member of only one Synchronized Control
Group. All members of a Synchronized Control Group must have the same
Control Group Number and Multicast IP Address.
Multicast IP
Address
The IP address used to communicate among members of a Synchronized
Control Group. The allowed range is 224.0.0.3 to 224.0.0.254. All members
must have the same control group number and multicast IP address.
Power
Synchronized
Delay
The maximum time (120 seconds by default) that the initiating UPS waits, if
necessary, for other group members to regain input power when the initiating
UPS is ready to turn on. When this delay expires, the initiating UPS waits to
recharge its battery to the runtime specified as Return Runtime Duration or the
battery capacity specified as Minimum Battery Capacity, if necessary, then
waits the time specified as Return Delay, and then turns on.
