To perform shutdown processing of the devices when a power failure occurs
5-1 The outline on the UPS monitoring software
BU100RS
Additional Information
Explanation of software functions
The computer can be shut down automatically when a problem occurs
with the power supply.
UPS monitoring (operating status)
The operating status of the UPS can be monitored (in Commercial Power
Mode/Battery Mode).
Monitoring can be performed for input voltage value, connection capacity,
battery capacity, etc.
When a problem such as a power failure occurs, a pop-up window that
shows the details of the problem can be displayed depends on OS.
Shutdown when OS is inactive
Shutdown can be performed when the computer is in an inactive state.
The operating status is retained at shutdown in inactive state, so
operation details are not lost.
Schedule settings can be made for UPS stop/start.
UPS settings (beep ON/OFF, etc.) can be changed. (Items that can be
set vary according to the UPS.)
External command execution
By executing commands at shutdown, items such as application
programs can be launched.
Information of events that occur on the UPS (power supply problems,
setting changes, occurrences of failure, etc.) are saved as a log.
Data of input/output voltage value, connection capacity, etc. is
periodically saved as a log (the save frequency can be set).
When a problem occurs with the power supply, multiple computers
connected to the UPS can coordinate to perform auto shutdown.
Output receptacle control
The UPS output receptacles can be individually set to ON/OFF.
Redundant power supply support
Two or more UPS can be connected to computers equipped with
re
dundant power supply. Shutdown is not performed when a power
supply problem affects only one of the units. Shutdown is performed only
when a power supply problem occurs with both UPS, so the system's
operating rate is improved.
The UPS can be managed remotely from a computer on the network.
When a problem such as a power failure occurs, a notification email
describing the problem can be sent to the system administrator.
UPS management information can be sent to the SNMP manager.
Settings such as shutdown parameters can be made via the Telnet
connection.
UPS management information can be recorded in SYSLOG.
