3.2.11 Save Configuration / Reboot
If you are satisfied with your configuration select “Save, Exit & Reboot” and wait until the
adapter informs you about the reboot-process.
Please notice that a reboot of the CS121 may take up to 3 minutes. During the boot phase the
CS121 is compiling the user settings and waits for timeserver response. As soon as the start-
up process is through and all requested data are present or „timed-out“, the UPS
communication starts and the green LED is flashing to signalize the UPS RS-232 traffic. Now
the device is ready for use and you may check the UPS values with any Web browser
(http:://<IP address>) or SNMP software - or you may connect with Datawatch Pro-tools, such
as UPSMON, UNMS, USW or JAVAMON. When connecting with UPSMON or UNMS, TCP/IP
can be selected instead of SNMP. This is faster and contains more UPS values than an SNMP
communication.
3.3 Reading the Alarm-Logfile
The CS121-Alarmlog contains the alarm protocol of events that were designated as alarms in
the Event/Settings-section and include the user defined alarm settings of the CS121
configuration as well as the events that are designated as alarms in the UPS native protocol.
These entries include such things as CS121 Admin defined email notifications which lead to a
much higher alarm entry log level than would otherwise be the case if only UPS protocol
defined alarms were being recorded. For explanation, the following illustrates typical log file
entries made by the UPS:
The CS121 logs the time after a new start up:
01/17/2007,16:21:45, Synchronized with timeserver 192.53.103.103. OK
This indicates a successful synchronization with the timeserver.
01/17/2007,16:23:39, UPSMAN <UPS model> has started
UPS communication functions and device is in normal operation mode. This is the standard
entry after every successful reboot of a CS121.
(The following entries result only from user defined settings as with the CS121
ADMINSTRATOR EMAIL Settings.)
01/17/2007,16:28:39, MAIL: subject "CS121 Event 4" successfully sent.
All “EVENT X” designated alarms are viewable in the EVENT list of the web browser. EVENT 4
for this particular UPS is the EVENT "UPSMAN started" – This means that an Email was sent
with the text "UPSMAN started" which acts to confirm the log entry of 08:06:50 as Email.
01/17/2007,16:28:47, MAIL: subject "CS121 Event 16" successfully sent
In this case, the Scheduler has been activated and is ready for operations. In this case, the
scheduler is set to conduct a "Selftest" which it in turn relays per email to the designated
CS121 ADMIN.

These are 4 Emails indicating the status of the AUX Ports (Auxiliary connection for external
alarms), which are set to give notification of the status signal LOW. Since the AUX Status can
only be set to High or Low and given that the CS121 in itself cannot distinguish the device, an
alarm email will be sent by the CS121 to the designated ADMIN at startup per default with the
startup status of each connected alarm. In this case, it is up to the administrator to determine if
the emails indicate an actual alarm or not.
