3.6 UPS control
Besides the parameter configurations, the commands that control the UPS directly such as tests,
shutdown, restart and reboot are offered in a separate page. The test or control commands are
transmitted to the UPS immediately when user clicks on [Perform] button. These commands included
by default are all defined in RFC1628 UPS-mib and deliverable by SNMP-set command also. By
modifying the UPS monitoring application, users are able to append their private test items to the UPS
test selection list and able to add more controls.

3.7 UPS alarm log
The UPSLink deals with UPS alarms in various ways such as SNMP v1 trap or v2c notification, Email
and logging into local system memory or outside location.
To deliver SNMP trap message or alarm email, users have to give the UPSLink SNMP trap receiver ’s
IP addresses and community in SNMP configuration menu and have to give email recipients’ email
address.
The UPS alarm log can be stored in the UPSLink internal memory, the mounting point on an NFS
server or the SYSLOG server. Hence the internal memory is a volatile, to preserve the system log data,
set the storage location to be the SYSLOG server or NFS server. To do this, the user must configure
the corresponding media as a logging server and the SYSLOG or NFS features in UPSLink’s Network.
Unless the media is properly set up, the user will not be able to select a storage location from the
interface.
Even though the storage location of UPS alarm log is selected as NFS server of SYSLOG server, the
UPS alarm logs will be stored in the UPSLink’s internal memory as well.
