Server User Manual

Make sure to increment the total monitors:
# config -s config.ups.monitors.total=1
The five commands below will add the UPS to Managed devices. Assuming there are already two
managed devices configured:
# config -s "config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.name=My UPS"
# config -s "config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.type=UPS Unit"
# config -s "config.devices.device3.name=My UPS"
# config -s "config.devices.device3.description=UPS in toom 5"
# config -s config.devices.total=3
To delete this managed UPS:
# config -d config.ups.monitors.monitor1
Decrement monitors.total when deleting a managed UPS.
Remote UPSes
To add a remote UPS with the following details (assuming this is our first remote UPS):
UPS name oldUPS
Description UPS in room 2
Address 192.168.50.50
Log status Disabled
Log rate 240 seconds
Run shutdown script Enabled
# config -s config.ups.remotes.remote1.name=oldUPS
# config -s "config.ups.remotes.remote1.description=UPS in room 2"
# config -s config.ups.remotes.remote1.address=192.168.50.50
# config -d config.ups.remotes.remote1.log.enabled
# config -s config.ups.remotes.remote1.log.interval=240
# config -s config.ups.remotes.remote1.script.enabled=on
# config -s config.ups.remotes.total=1
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -a
14.10 RPC Connections
You can add an RPC connection from the command line. We do not recommend that you do this
because of dependency issues.
However FYI before adding an RPC the Management Console GUI code makes sure that at least one port
has been configured to run in 'device mode', and that the device is set to 'rpc'.
To add an RPC with the following values:
RPC type APC 7900
Connected via Port 2
UPS name MyRPC
Description RPC in room 5
Login name for device rpclogin
Login password for device secret
SNMP community v1 or v2c
