Configuring the connection in the SITOP UPS Manager
A basic setting is the configuration of the client (PC/PG) as master or slave. The
consideration of possible application situations can help here:
● The local computer is the only computer at the UPS1600.
Local computer = master PC
● The local computer is one of several computers and performs the master function.
Local computer = master PC
● The local computer is one of several computers on the UPS1600 and operates as slave.
Local computer = slave PC
The UPS1600, the master PC and the slave PC are on the same physical Ethernet in the
master-slave configuration. Only the master PC communicates directly with the UPS1600.
The slave PC receives the control signals from the SITOP UPS Manager of the master PC.
Note
Up to SITOP UPS Manager Version 4.12, the master PC can only manage 1 slave PC. From
version 4.12.5 and higher, up to 8 slaves can be managed.
Configuring the client as master PC
1. Select "General settings > Device configuration".
2. Activate the "Ethernet" checkbox.
3. If you are prompted as to whether you want to restart the SITOP UPS Manager, confirm
this with "Yes".
SITOP UPS Manager is restarted.
4. Select "Hardware configuration > Ethernet configuration".
