[upsAdvControl]
Management Cards and PowerNet Agents that use smart-signalling to connect with the UPS can use
SETs to the OIDs in the [upsAdvControl] category, with the following exceptions:
• Three OIDs each have a value that you can use only with a Management Card.
-The upsAdvControlUpsOff OID’s value of turnUpsOffGracefully (3).
-The upsAdvControlRebootUps OID’s value of rebootUpsGracefully (3).
-The upsAdvControlUpsSleep OID’s value of putUpsToSleepGracefully (3).
OID Task (page 1 of 2)
upsAdvControlUpsOff Cause the UPS to turn off. How the UPS turns off depends on
what SET value is used and how the UPS connects to the
network:
• noTurnUpsOff (1): The value always returned for a GET.
Setting this value has no effect.
• turnUpsOff (2): All Management Cards turn off the UPS
immediately.
• turnUpsOffGracefully (3):
- A PowerNet Agent performs an orderly shutdown of the
UPS server, then turns off the UPS.
- A Management Card turns off a UPS after the delay
defined by upsAdvConfigShutoffDelay, a UPS
configuration OID. (See How to Configure a UPS.)
Note:
When you use the upsAdvControlUpsOff OID with a
PowerNet Agent, you can turn on the UPS again only by
using the UPS on/off switch. For all Management Cards,
you can turn on the UPS again by using a SET value of
turnOnUPS (2) for the upsAdvControlTurnOnUPS OID.
upsAdvControlRebootUps Cause the UPS to reset its supported equipment by turning
power off and then back on:
• noRebootUps (1): The value always returned for a GET.
Setting this value has no effect.
• rebootUps (2): All Management Cards reboot the UPS
immediately.
• rebootUpsGracefully (3): A Management Card reboots a
UPS, using a delay before it turns off the UPS. The UPS uses
the delay value defined by upsAdvConfigShutoffDelay, a
UPS configuration OID. (See How to Configure a UPS.)
