# config -‐s config.cascade.slaves.total=1
Increment this value when adding more slaves.
NOTE: If a slave is added using the CLI, then the master SSH public key will need to be manually copied to every slave
device before cascaded ports will work (refer
Chapter 4
).
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -‐r cascade
14.9 UPS connections
Managed UPSes
Before adding a managed UPS, make sure that at least 1 port has been configured to run in 'device mode', and that the
device is set to 'ups'.
To add a managed UPS with the following values:
Connected via
Port 1
UPS name
My UPS
Description
UPS in room 5
Username to connect to UPS
User2
Password to connect to UPS
secret
shutdown order
2 (0 shuts down first)
Driver
genericups
Driver option -‐ option
option
Driver option -‐ argument

Logging
Enabled
Log interval
2 minutes
Run script when power is critical
Enabled
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.port=/dev/port01
If the port number is higher than 9, eg port 13, enter:
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.port=/dev/port13
# config -‐s "config.ups.monitors.monitor1.name=My UPS"
# config -‐s "config.ups.monitors.monitor1.description=UPS in room 5"
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.username=User2
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.password=secret
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.sdorder=2
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.driver=genericups
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.option1.opt=option
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.option1.arg=argument
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.total=1
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.log.enabled=on
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.log.interval=2
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.script.enabled=on
Make sure to increment the total monitors:
# config -‐s config.ups.monitors.total=1
The five commands below will add the UPS to Managed devices. Assuming there are already two managed devices
configured:
# config -‐s "config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.name=My UPS"
