User manual

Note: All network components, such as routers, hubs etc. need to be fully

UPS-supported, as it is otherwise not possible to reach all clients during

the network shutdown.

3.2.5.4.1 RCCMD Shutdown

Figure 29: HTTP - Job Editor: RCCMD Shutdown

Here, IP-addresses from computers with RCCMD connection (receivers) in the network can be

entered. The CS121-adapter can then initiate a multi-server shutdown. The timing for such a

shut down procedure depends on the configured down time of the adapter (default: time of the

remaining capacity of battery in min., during a long power fail.) or on a count down timer.

Extended CS121-adapters can also use more events (e.g. battery low, battery defect,

communication lost etc.) as RCCMD signals. Please contact your UPS dealer for more

information.

Note: For security reasons we recommend to make the same RCCMD

shutdown entries for the Event “Battery low” - but in this Event without

any delays to avoid that the server crashes because of low battery

alarm.

In case a connection is established using telnet or http, the RCCMD-

command can be tested without using disrupting power to the UPS. At

the Webbrowser you simply have to press “test” to transmit the

shutdown signal immediately. (see figure HTTP - Event Editor above)

Due to network settings it is possible that this test is answered with

"failed". The signal is often sent and received although the receiver may

not respond correctly. In such cases, only use the receiver side to check

if the signal has actually been received. For checking the communication

between RCCMDs you have to check the RCCMDlogfile on both sides.

In the CS121 the logs are inside the Alarmlog, at the RCCMD client side

the logs are found inside the RCCMD folder eg. Rccmd.log.

3.2.5.4.2 RCCMD Message

With this job the user can combine and configure a text message with RCCMD event. Text

messages can be sent to RCCMD receivers. This makes it possible to send text messages via

RCCMD (version 2 or higher) to a Windows 2000 server or a Unix computer, using the “NET

SEND” or the respective “WALL” method. The problem with notifying network users on

different operating systems is therefore solved.

Note: The corresponding RCCMD clients must be running with RCCMD

version 2. RCCMD version 1 can only execute e.g. a shutdown as more

than one action are not supported by version 1. Please contact your

UPS dealer if you want to use these functions.
