How to Test a UPS
This section contains information on using OIDs to perform UPS self-tests and runtime calibrations.
[upsTest]
The [upsTest] category contains the [upsAdvTest] sub-category for use by smart-signalling
Management Cards or PowerNet Agents. There are no OIDs in the [upsTest] category for performing
self-tests and calibrations for UPSs connected in simple-signalling mode because simple-signalling
does not support those functions.
[upsAdvTest]
You can use the OIDS in the [upsAdvTest] sub-category to schedule or initiate UPS self-tests and
runtime calibrations and to view the results of UPS self-tests.
The OIDs in this sub-category have the following limitations on their use:
• A Management Card can use all these OIDS except upsAdvTestLastDiagnosticsDate, which
can be used only by a PowerNet Agent.
• A PowerNet Agent can use all these OIDs except upsAdvTestRuntimeCalibration, which can
be used only by a Management Card

Obtain the allowed values for all settable OIDs in the
[upsAdvConfig] group.
• The index to an EEPROM field entry.
• The OID of the current configurable value.
• A comma-delimited list of allowed values for the OID
OID Task (page 3 of 3)
1
If a SET specifies an unsupported value, the UPS interprets the value as the next lower allowed
value, as defined by the apcUpsConfigFieldValueRange OID in the tabled set of OIDs
{upsAdvConfigAllowedSetTable}. If the value is less than the lowest allowable value, the lowest
allowed value is used.
2
If a SET specifies an unsupported value, the UPS interprets the value as the next higher allowed
value, as defined by the apcUpsConfigFieldValueRange OID in the tabled set of OIDs
{upsAdvConfigAllowedSetTable}. If the value is higher than the highest allowable value, the
highest allowed value is used.
