Chapter 5 Shutdown Software
There are two kinds of shutdown software to help you to protect servers from power crisis. One
is SNMP-NET Client the other one is the SNMP-NET ShutdownAgent. Both programs have
the ability to shutdown servers gracefully. The major difference is the SNMP-NET
ShutdownAgent can only receive SNMP traps of power fail and low battery signals but the
SNMP-NET Client can observe the UPS parameters, record power events and values.
Installation of SNMP-NET Client in Windows
1. Insert the SNMP-NET CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Run the “SNMP-NET Client Setup.exe” program on the CD-ROM.
3. After the set-up is complete, provide the host name or IP address of SNMP-NET device and
community string, which has been set in the SNMP Access Control menu. The SNMP-NET
Client service connects to the device automatically when the operating system initiates.
Note:
When the SNMP-NET Client connects to SNMP-NET device, the schedule and UPS
Shutdown Action settings in the SNMP Card will be ignored until the connection of the
SNMP-NET Client is terminated to prevent conflicting with the settings in the SNMP-NET Client
software. In this case, you can still configure the schedule shutdown/restart and event-driven
shutdown from SNMP-NET Client software.
Installation of SNMP-NET Shutdown Agent in Windows
1. Insert the SNMP-NET CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Run the “SNMP-NET ShutdownAgent Setup.exe” program on the CD-ROM.
3. After the set-up is complete, provide the IP address of SNMP-NET device. The SNMP
Shutdown Agent will open the specific UDP port and listen for SNMP traps when the
operating system initiates.
