Installation example 4: The LAN SNMP solution – if you need UPS information without a direct connection
If you have read the CS141 manual, you will notice this feature at the latest at this point:
Unfortunately, some UPS models are not compatible with the CS141. Causes are, for example, that the interfaces do not exist or are
otherwise occupied, existing slots of the UPS have a different design or simply the manufacturer wants to use their own system cards. If
your UPS uses its own SNMP card or a similar solution, you can use the UPS settings in the BACS Web Manager to query the signals
via SNMP and manage all UPS functions based on this data - each CS141-based model provides this feature.
Since BACS can use this UPS information as "Discharge Detection", this data is not only interesting for general monitoring, but also a
reliable means to detect the current UPS state:
All you need to do is:
- Open UPS configuration dialog
- Select RFC 1628 smart interface as UPS model
- Enter IP address of the target SNMP card
- Enter SNMP v1 / 2 / 3 credentials
- Configure an according SNMP user at the target card.
The SNMP card will be queried by the CS141 / BACS Webmanager budget and presented at the UPS monitoring screen.
Note
Yes, this feature can be used with the predecessor CS121 or an existing CS141 that is already installed but does not provide an AUX
port, too – if the BACS Webmanager cannot be fittet directly to the UPS, you may use this powerfull feature to adapt the BACS
Webmanager fitting to your existing UPS solution.
