5.1.2 RCCMD client as relay station

In order to reach a bigger number of RCCMD receivers, the adapter needs to be operated as

relay station. The receiver will be configured so that it will receive a RCCMD signal and this

signal is then used to start a batch file, which then starts even more RCCMD sender signals.

This computer is then sender and receiver at the same time and is therefore an important link

in the UPS monitoring chain. Generally the use of an RCCMD client as relay stations makes

the management of several 100 RCCMD clients far easier than configuring this via the

Webbrowser interface of the CS121. Additionally, all Webrowser Event configurations have a

certain limitation so that you have to use the relay function if the number of jobs exceed e.g. 50

per event at the CS121 HW 131, at older CS121s even earlier.

See the following script, which lets the RCCMD-client act as relay station:

5.1.3 License regulations

Please note that in order to use these functions legally, the corresponding RCCMD program is

installed and started from the UPS-Management Software CD resp. see www.generex.de-

download page for the latest version. (see above) The license code can only be used once

per installation

. If more computers need to be added to the shutdown process, additional

licenses are required. The CS121-adapter package does usually contain a single licenses for

RCCMD to shutdown 1 computer. For more computers to shutdown you have to order

separate RCCMD client licenses. Generally the CS121 has an unlimited capacity to shutdown

RCCMD clients, but if you have to enter more than 30-50 RCCMD clients via the Webbrowser

interface it may make sense to use RCCMD relays (see above).

5.2 gChart

gChart is a GENEREX plug-in for the MS Internet Explorer available as a free download from

the GENEREX web site. Quickly and easily visualise all of the CS121-adapter logfiles using

Generex's ActiveX graphical log controller GChart when using the Internet Explorer. Discover

UPS problems more easily and optimise system tuning more rapidly. Navigate through the

data with the mouse using functions like zoom and pan with continuous motion in real time and

query interpolated data values by clicking in the areas of interest. Customize the view by

moving or toggling off the legend, toggle off and on the data grid and also switch individual log

values on and off.
