SNMP/HTTP/HTTPS over the preconfigured network Host connection.
When you select a network UPS connection, then the corresponding Host Name/Description
that you set up for that connection will be entered as the
Name
and
Description
for the power
device. Or, if you selected to
Connect Via
a USB or serial connection then you will need to
enter a
Name
and
Description
for the power device (and these details will also be used to
create a new Managed Device entry for the serial/USB connected UPS devices).
Enter the login details. This
Username
and
Password
is used by
slaves
of this UPS (that is, other
computers that are drawing power through this UPS) to connect to the
console server
to
monitor the UPS status so they can shut themselves down when battery power is low.
Monitoring will typically be performed using the
upsmon
client running on the slave server
(refer to
Section 8.2.3
)
