PowerNet MIB Reference Guide

Chapter 3: How to Manage a UPS

This chapter describes how to use PowerNet MIB OIDs to manage a UPS through its Management

Card or its PowerNet Agent.

ThePowerNet MIB OIDs that you can use to manage (monitor, configure, control and test) a UPS are

in nine categories under the heading [ups]. To list the nine categories, perform the following steps:

1. Select [products] under [apc].

2. Select [hardware].

3. Select [ups].

The following factors determine which OIDs in the [ups] categories can be used to manage a UPS:

• The manner in which the UPS connects to the network.

• For a PowerNet Agent, the type of signalling used for the connection between the Agent and the

UPS: basic (simple-signalling) and advanced (smart-signalling).

OID Categories Tasks

[upsIdent]

[upsBattery]

[upsInput]

[upsOutput]

[upsComm]

View information about the UPS and its overall operation. (See How to

Monitor a UPS.)

[upsConfig] Modify parameters that affect the overall operation of the UPS. (See

How to Configure a UPS.)

[upsControl] Directly affect the current operation of the UPS. (See How to Control a

UPS.)

[upsTest] Verify that the UPS can operate correctly during a power failure. (See

How to Test a UPS.)

[upsPhase] Provide OIDs directly related to 3-phase UPS models. (See How to Use

OIDs for 3-Phase UPS Models.)

Management Card PowerNet Agent

You can use all OIDs listed under the

[ups] category of the PowerNet MIB.

You cannot use the following:

• Any [ups] OIDs not originally supported for PowerNet

Agents in PowerNet MIB version 2.2.

• Smart-signalling (advanced) OIDs, if the Agent- to-UPS

communication uses simple-signalling.
