Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual
Enter the
Name
of the particular remote UPS to be remotely monitored. This name must be the name that the
remote UPS was configured with on the remote
console server
(as the remote
console server
may itself have
multiple UPSes attached that it is managing locally with NUT). Optionally enter a
Description
Enter the IP
Address
or DNS name of the remote
console server
* that is managing the remote UPS. (*This may
be another Opengear
console server
or it may be a generic Linux server running Network UPS Tools)
Note
An example where centrally monitor remotely distributed UPSes is useful is a campus or large business site
wh
ere there’s a multitude of computer and other equipment sites spread afar, each with their own UPS supply …
and many of these (particularly the smaller sites) will be USB or serially connected.
Having a CM4001, ACM5000 or IM4004-5 at these remote sites would enable the system manager to centrally
monitor the status of the power supplies at all sites, and centralize alarms. So he/she can be warned to initiate a
call-out or take shut down actions
Check
Log Status
and specify the
Log Rate
(minutes between samples) if you wish the status from this UPS to
be logged. These logs can then be viewed from the
Status: UPS Status
screen
Check
Enable Shutdown Script
if this remote UPS is the UPS providing power to the
console server
itself. In the
event the UPS reaches critical battery status the custom script in /
etc/config/scripts/ups-shutdown
is run enabling
you to perform any "
last gasp
" actions
Click
Apply
Note
: The Remote UPS feature is supported on all
console servers
with V2.8 firmware and later. Earlier versions
supported a single remote “Monitored UPS” which could be set to trigger the
console server
shutdown script

Controlling UPS powered computers
One of the advantages of having a Managed UPS is that you can configure computers that draw power through that UPS
to be shut down gracefully in the event of UPS problems.
For Linux computers this can be done by setting up
upsmon
on each computer and directing them to monitor the
console
server
that is managing their UPS. This will set the specific conditions that will be used to initiate a power down of the
computer. Non-critical servers may be powered down some second after the UPS starts running on battery. Whereas
more critical servers may not be shut down till a low battery warning is received). Refer to the online NUT documentation
for details on how this is done:
