4.1.5.1
upsAlarmTable
The
upsAlarmTable
(mpsObjects.6.2) contains an entry for each active alarm condition. Any given alarm
condition will only appear in the table once.
Object Name:
upsAlarmDescr
OID:
upsObjects.6.2.1.2
Type:
OID (object identifier)
Access:
Read-Only
Object returns the object identifier for the alarm condition represented by a given entry in the Alarm
table. The list of possible alarm conditions is defined in the
RFC-1628
group
upsWellKnownAlarms
.
Object Name:
upsAlarmTime
OID:
upsObjects.6.2.1.3
Type:
Timestamp
Access:
Read-Only
Object returns the timestamp that the given alarm condition was first detected. The timestamp is the
value of the
sysUpTime
object (1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3) at the time of detection.
4.1.6
upsTest Group
The
upsTest
group provides an interface to launch self-tests of the MPS hardware. To initiate a test, the
monitoring computer must execute a write instruction which includes both the
upsTestId
object and the
upsTestSpinLock
object. The OID of the desired test sequence is written to
upsTestId.
The value written
to
upsTestSpinLock
must be the present value read from
upsTestSpinLock
. The spin-lock provides a
semaphore, allowing only one device to launch a self-test sequence at a time. Once a test sequence
completes, the
upsTestSpinLock
variable increments by one.
Object Name:
upsTestId
OID:
upsObjects.7.1
Type:
OID (object identifier)
Access:
Read-write
This object identifies the test in progress or last completed. As described above, to initiate a test a
single PDU write must be issued to
upsTestId
and
upsTestSpinLock.
To abort a test in progress, send the
OID
upsTestAbortTestInProgress
(1.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.7.7.2). Valid OIDs for self-test sequences are defined
by the
upsWellKnownTests
group. The only test option is
upsTestGeneralSystemsTest.
The MPS output
must be enabled for these tests to return a passing result.
Object Name:
upsTestSpinLock
OID:
upsObjects.7.2
Type:
Test-and-Increment
Access:
Read-write
To initiate a test, the monitoring computer must read this object value, and return the present value
along with a valid OID for
upsTestId
. The value of this object increments after a self-test completes.
