3.6 Actions Menu

The Actions menu allows for detailed conﬁguration of event responses,

scheduled actions, and the contact information in the address book. At

this time, the Web interface does not support scheduled actions. Please

refer to the Telnet or SSH menu interface to create scheduled actions

(Section 4.2.2.2).

Note: The Actions menu in the Web interface was formerly called the

Conﬁguration menu. A few of the screen shots in this manual still depict

the content under the former name.

Action proﬁles deﬁne responses to events and alarm conditions. The

action proﬁle allows the response to be deﬁned once and applied

to multiple alarm events. An action may be a response to the alarm

condition or a response to the condition clearing. Where appropriate,

the two actions may be the same.

You can conﬁgure action settings for several event types, including “On

Battery” and “Battery Low.” (Events vary by device.) You can conﬁgure

several settings categories that specify actions to be executed when the

selected event takes place.

Control Execution Actions

A control action is a device speciﬁc action that can be executed when

an alarm trigger occurs. An example of a control action could be that

when the battery age crosses the user deﬁned threshold, a self test

is automatically executed to see if the battery in a UPS is still in good

condition. Since these are device speciﬁc, the control actions available

on devices will vary from device to device.

To add an action, click the [+] button to activate a row and enter the

appropriate data. To delete an action, click on the action that is to be

deleted and then click the [-] button and conﬁrm the deletion and then

the [Save] button to commit the changes.
