UPS Utility Manual

Example #7
- UPS Down/Broken
This example shows that a UPS device has experienced some problem, like a failed
or disconnected I/O cable, or a failed
piece of internal hardware, that has prevented the UPS Monitor Process from communicating with the UPS device. After
retrying several times to obtain status from
the UPS device, the UPS Monitor Process has marked the UPS device (Ldev
#24) as "Down/Broken".
In this case, as in Example #6 when initialization was not yet completed, the UPS Monitor Process does not know what
the
power status or hardware status of the UPS device is, so the STATUS display shows "???" for those fields.
NOTE
If a UPS device is put into the "Down/Broken" state by the UPS Monitor Process,
then the UPS Monitor Process must be restarted (after repairing the problem that has
caused the loss of communications with the UPS device) in order to resume
monitoring of that UPS device.
