forward RCCMD signals. For installation of RCCMD at client-side please see the section in
chapter “Add-on software”.
Note: RCCMD clients are optional and not freeware. Most CS121 are
equipped today with a single RCCMD standard license, some UPS
makers add more licenses, other do not deliver any license at all with a
CS121. Contact your UPS maker and ask for the license regulations for
RCCMD in conjunction with your CS121.
Certain pre-settings are imperative for all RCCMD actions.
- First of all in general regards to the CS121-adapter as an UPSMON Server, the „Enable
UpsMon Server“ and the „Use RCCMD2 Traps“ controls boxes must be checked in menu
“Network & Security Settings”. (default is ON) This enables the CS121 to execute its RCCMD
actions.
- Secondly, the CS121 adapter and the RCCMD client must both be appropriately configured
in order to reach one another using RCCMD commands over the network.
Because the CS121 adapter plays an active roll when executing its actions “Message”,
“Shutdown” and “Command” (that is to say the CS121 -adapter sends an RCCMD-signal to an
RCCMD client), it is necessary, to enter the IP-address in parameter 1, and the port number of
the RCCMD client in parameter 2 (default port is 6003). Additionally, the RCCMD client must
either be pre-configured with absolutely no sender filter or should be pre-configured with the
IP-addresses of the particular UPSMAN servers (like UPSMAN, CS121 or other RCCMD
compatible sender) that are to function as recognized senders. These configurations take
place when installing the RCCMD client service. Further details are in the RCCMD software
documentation.
Attention: At the function RCCMD Command it is required to configure a job for every single
client. It is not possible to request several clients/IP-addresses in one job to execute a
command.
RCCMD also includes the feature “RCCMD Trap”. RCCMD Trap is a method for sending
information to the RCCMD stations which have been applied to the CS121. RCCMD Traps
invokes messages at all RCCMD stations. Because of RCCMD plays an active roll in this
mode no receiver information is to be entered in the parameters of this job (see also following
sections). It is condition to enable the RCCMD Trap control box in the menu “Network &
Security Settings”.
The CS121-adapter uses the parameter-based RCCMD Version 2, which can execute
different actions on the same TCP channel. RCCMD Version 1 clients can only execute one
action (shutdown file execution as default, so any RCCMD signal which is transmitted to an
RCCMD client V1 will cause a shutdown of this server ) RCCMD Version 3 is capable to
handle also redundant UPS installations (eg. PC with 2 power supplies and 2 UPS).
Note: For all 3 RCCMD event functions a list of the user configured RCCMD
receivers appear in every RCCMD event.
3.2.11 The amount of RCCMD clients is limited and dependent of the size of the
clients per CS121 are guaranteed. If you need more than 50 clients to reach,
to use RCCMD relays (see chapter 5.1.4). However it is only possible to
the same time, meaning that the first 50 RCCMD clients are executed
etc. We recommend to change the timing parmeters of the RCCMD-jobs that
50 commands are transmitted at the same time. We also recommend to use
as Relaystation if you want to shutdown more than 50 computers from a
section 5.1.2 RCCMD with SSL for Windows
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is a cryptographic protocol that provides security
and data integrity for communications over TCP/IP networks.
Use your Web-browser to navigate to the address of your UPS Web-Manager. Click the
“Network & Security” configuration button and enable the SSL network feature.
