V. Advanced UPSMON Configuration
The configuration of UPSMON is performed using the Upsetup program; this will enable correct communication with the UPS and setup
of the software operational parameters.
ATTENTION: Bad parameters or undesirable manual changes of the upsmon.ini file may cause incorrect operation of the
UPSMON software, primarily the Upsagent module.
1.
Upsetup for Windows
ATTENTION: If the Upsetup program is started for first time, the software will require a PRTK code, therefore when prompted
enter the correct PRTK code for the UPS to be monitored, this code is located on a label which can be found on either the front
or the rear of the UPS, and failure to input this code will prevent the operation of UPSMON.
ATTENTION: Administrative rights are required when saving the configuration using Windows NT, 2000 Xp, 2003.
The Upsetup program is divided into 8 main sections:
1.
Main parameters: The main parameters section is used to set up all of the common parameters, such as the system
name, location, personnel contact name and parameters for log files.
2.
Network services: The network services section is used to configure the network services such as tcpip, snmp etc.
3.
UPS connections: The UPS connections section is used to configure a list of the UPS to be monitored by the Upsagent
and the communication parameters for each UPS.
4.
Remote sensors: this section lets you set up to 32 sensors (temperature, humidity and digital I/O sensors), associating
them with the UPS systems monitored remotely via an on-line connection.
5.
Configurations: The configurations section is used to specify the method used to send a message to personnel who will
be required to be notified with regards to an alarm condition occurring with the UPS, several message types are possible,
such as email, text, voice and fax. Before using any of these options you must configure the desired service on the
computer.
6.
Schedule parameters: The schedule parameters section is used to configure any scheduled actions. It is possible to
specify scheduled actions such as UPS shutdown, reboot, test, etc; these actions will be executed at a specified time.
7.
Jobs parameters: The jobs parameters section is used to configure the jobs to be carried out by the UPSMON when an
alarm condition occurs, for example it is possible to customise each alarm to carry out a specific set of tasks such as run a
shutdown user defined script, send email, SMS or network messages etc.
