The UPS display is the user interface to the UPS system, and is located in the control section. This LCD
touch-screen display is used to configure the system, monitor the system, and change the settings. The
display also provides the user with audible and visual alarms.
The screens in the display are organized hierarchically with the UPS Summary screen at the top of the
hierarchy.
The UPS Summary screen provides you with an overview of the UPS system and circuit breakers. It
shows the system status and the power flow through the system and gives access to the system’s summary
screens and the Operation screen.
How to Access Summary Screens from the
External Bypass Static Switch
The Static Bypass Summary screen provides you with an overview of the UPS system and circuit
breakers. It shows the system status and the power flow through the system and gives access to the
system’s Bypass Summary screens and the Operation screen. The Operation screen on the External
Bypass Static Switch has limited functionality compared to the Operation screen on the UPS.
The read-only display screens can be accessed via an Internet Browser by typing the IP address of the
Symmetra MW display into the browser’s address field. Configuration of the Symmetra MW or the
display through the remote display is not supported.
The remote display feature requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or greater. For best results we
recommend that the Sun JVM version 1.4.2_05 or greater is installed, which is available from the Sun’s
website.
The Netscape browser is not supported.
Note: Operation/configuration must be done at the UPS.
Note: The event log screen can be accessed through the Operation screen. Only the 50 most
recent events in the Event Log screen can be downloaded.
Note: Network settings must be configured before the remote display feature can be used.
