Viewing the UPS History Logs
Selecting UPS History from the menu at the top of the home page allows you to
choose the current UPS Data Log and UPS Event Log . The data log provides
numerical data logged once a minute from the UPS. The event log contains
text messages regarding the status of the UPS and the BestLink Adapter. Past
data and event logs are also accessible, as well as a data log applet that
displays the data in a graphical format.
Viewing the UPS Status with CheckUPS-like Applet
Selecting UPS Monitoring from the menu at the top of the home page, followed
by Status Applet provides the user with a CheckUPS-like display that provides
analog meters representing UPS data, as well as the current status of the UPS
and past events that have happened while the applet has been running. The
meters and status update automatically as new information is obtained from
the UPS.
UPS Management from an SNMP NMS
To access the BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter via SNMP, use the following
steps:
1. Use these Community strings:
GET Community string: public or user password (default is admin).
SET Community string: user password (default is admin).
NOTE Only NMSs whose IP address is present in the NMS table are allowed to perform a
set. To add an NMS to the table, use the Serial (or telnet) Configuration menu.
2. The bestpwr2.mib file (supplied on the floppy disk) contains the MIB
for the BestLink Adapter. Add this file to the MIB database of your
SNMP management software (such as HP OpenView, IBM NetView
9
6000, and Sun NetManager).
3. Using the Facilities provided by the SNMP management software,
you may now access the individual MIB objects. Reference the MIB
found on the floppy disk for more information.
