RCCMD
RCCMD (Remote Console Command) is the world’s most successful shutdown client for
heterogeneous networks and is the most secure way to establish a UPS multiple server
shutdown sequence today. RCCMD clients are listening to an RCCMD server which is usually
an UPSMAN software, CS121 or any third-party UPS manager which has a license to use
RCCMD. An RCCMD server is found inside any CS121 and is triggering RCCMD clients in
case of alarms. Therefore RCCMD requires such listeners on each client-computer you wish to
forward RCCMD signals. For installation of RCCMD at client-side please see the section in
chapter
“Add-on software”.
Note:
RCCMD clients are optional and not freeware. Most CS121 are
equipped today with a single RCCMD standard license, some UPS
makers add more licenses, other do not deliver any license at all with a
CS121. Contact your UPS maker and ask for the license regulations for
RCCMD in conjunction with your CS121.

RCCMD Jobs
You can define RCCMD jobs into the CS121 menu “Events/Alarms”.
Powerfail
This event occurs, if the UPS will lose the power supply. This event might be the optimal fitting
for the definition of RCCMD shutdowns.
System Shutdown
This event will be triggered, if the defined system shutdown time was reached. This event
should be used for operations only, which will force a shutdown immediately.
Note:
This event is the last event, that the CS121 can execute prior of the UPS
shutdown. Do not use this event to execute RCCMD shutdowns, because the remaing time is
not assured! We recommend to use the event powerfail for the RCCMD shutdowns.
Battery low
This event will be triggered from the UPS, if the battery capacity of the UPS has reached a
critical state.
UPSMAN started
This event will be triggered periodical, if the CS121 is in normal operation. You can use this
event, if you want to start actions, which should be triggered into normal operation.
4.4.2
RCCMD Traps
RCCMD traps are “push” messages (like SNMP traps), which will be send from the CS121
automatically to the RCCMD client. The RCCMD traps are text messages only.
If you want to define RCCMD Traps by yourself, you can use the following variables :
#OUTPOWER
– Output power in %
#BATTCAP
– Battery capacity in %
#INVOLT
– Input voltage in V
