the remote shutdown of practically an unlimited number of client computers, independent of
the operating systems of the clients. RCCMD is an optional part of the UPS-Management
Software. Your UPS dealer is able to provide you with license keys for the RCCMD Software.
The UPSMAN service of the UPS-Management Software Suite is an optional module and not
required for that basic CS121 operations. We recommend to use the UPSMAN service only, if
the UPS is connected via serial or USB cable, if a CS121 is connected, you just need a web-
browser for the monitoring.
RS232 UPS Protocol Router
– Pipe- through:
The CS121 (not BUDGET versions) is able
to transfer the UPS RS232 protocol on COM1 directly to COM2. This allows the use of
additional monitoring software on COM2, while making extra hardware (RS232 Multiplexer) to
multiply the UPS comport unnecessary.
Log File:
The
CS121 got an internal log file synchronized with either a timeserver in your
network or from Internet timeservers. This log file can be accessed by web-browser,
UPSMON, JAVAMON or via FTP. The size of the log file is 250 lines, older entries will be
overwritten automatically.
Network Settings:
The CS121 models are adjustable to the network environment. An auto-
sensing function, 10Mbit or 100Mbit can be selected.
Email Client:
The CS121 adapters incorporate a built-in SMTP email client, which is able to
send emails automatically, if an error occurs.
Web-Server:
The CS121 models possess a web-server, which displays all functions and
settings of the adapter. Non-Windows users may use the UPSView as graphically display for
UPS data.
Network Connection:
The below figure displays a CS121 into a network environment. The
CS121 is communicating with the UPS and displays all available data.

All CS121 types include an MODBUS over IP interface and MODBUS over RS232. The CS121
MODBUS device types possess a RS485 interface at COM2.
