Functional Overview of the CS121_R_II
1.4.1
Functionalities of your CS121
SNMP Adapter CS121/CS121 Slot
: The SNMP adapter is a compact unit requiring minimal
workspace (ca. 28x69x126 mm for the external adapter CS121L). The slot card versions of the
adapter get inserted into the extension slots of UPS models supporting such a card type.
Serial Port:
Two DIP-switches change the adapter's serial port (COM2) to a configuration
port for installation or to a communication port for environmental sensors, modem or other
functions. The MODBUS-version uses the COM2 as RS485 interface and is not available for
configuration. The MODBUS version can be configured via web-browser only, Telnet and
default IP address.
SNMP-Traps for remote monitoring and pre-alarming:
The main function of the SNMP-
adapter is the transmission of alarm conditions of the UPS to the monitoring station (SNMP
traps and RCCMD traps/commands). It also makes UPS data for users in the network upon
request available. With this function, it is possible to retrieve and monitor e. g. battery capacity
of an UPS from a SNMP management station. The event settings configuration menu also
allows for SNMP trap testing.
Remote Control:
With this function it is possible to switch the UPS to Bypass (depending on
the model) or start battery tests. This remote command is executed either via the Network
Management Station or the UPS Management Software or any web-browser.
Telnet:
Every Adapter can be reconfigured via the network, using Telnet or HTTP after the
initial configuration of an IP address for the adapter. Current UPS data can also be shown
using Telnet. Generally we recommend to use the web-interface, since Telnet (and terminal
configuration) allows to setup a basic configuration of the CS121 only.
Works with all major NMS:
The CS121 works with most, widely used Network
Management Systems, e. g. HP Open View HP UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT, Novell NMS,
Spectrum, Sun NetManager, IBM Net View/600 and others. All SNMP systems, which either
allow the compilation of the MIB or already incorporate MIB RFC 1628 for UPS Systems, can
be used with the CS121.
Multiserver shutdown via RCCMD/RCCMD2 compatibility:
The CS121 is able to initiate a
network shutdown with any RCCMD modules from the UPS-Management Software CD. A
TCP/IP based RCCMD signal will be send to all RCCMD clients in the network. This enables
