Configuring NetWatch Shutdowns for a UPS without Load Segments
To configure NetWatch client shutdowns:
1.
Expand the UPS folder on the Configuration menu and select
NetWatch
.
2.
The card notifies NetWatch clients when there is a power outage. To modify how long the card waits
before sending the message, enter a value between 10 and 600 seconds (10 seconds to 10 minutes) in
the
Delay before first AC fail warning message
field. The default is 10 seconds.
3.
To modify how often the card repeats the power outage notification, enter a value between 30 and
600 seconds (30 seconds to 10 minutes) in the
Warning interval
field, or enter 0 to receive only the initial
message. The default is 60 seconds.
4.
To enable NetWatch to shut down clients during a power outage, select the
Notify client OS to
shutdown on an AC failure
check box.
5.
Set the appropriate
Number of seconds the AC failure must last before client is notified to start OS
shutdown
to ensure that the NetWatch clients shut down only when there is an extended power outage.
To modify, enter a value between 1 and 21600 seconds (1 second to 6 hours). The default is 600 seconds
(10 minutes).
6.
To turn off power to the UPS output receptacles following the client shutdown:
a.
Select the UPS
to turn off following OS Shutdown
check box.
If the this check box is not selected, the power remains available to the UPS output receptacles until
the UPS battery power is exhausted.
b.
Set the appropriate number of seconds for the
Delay before output turns off
to ensure that any
NetWatch clients and their respective operating systems have enough time to complete their
shutdown. The default is 180 seconds (2 minutes), but you may want to increase or decrease this
value as appropriate for your system and available battery runtime. To modify, enter a value between
30 and 3600 seconds (30 seconds to 1 hour).
7.
To reboot the UPS and the associated load:
a.
Select the UPS
to restart following the return of AC line
check box.
If this check box is not selected, the UPS remains off (requiring local interaction to turn it back on)
when utility power returns.
b.
Set the time for
Delay before output restart
to a valid delay value to allow the UPS enough time to
restart after the specified delay. To modify, enter a value between 10 and 3600 seconds (10 seconds
to 1 hour). The default is 30 seconds.
8.
Click
Apply
and then
OK
to save the settings.
