Ter ms

This section provides related terms and definitions.

IP address

When Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is installed on a computer, an Internet Protocol (IP) address is assigned to the system. Each address is unique and is made up of four numbers, each between 0 and 256, such as168.8.156.210.

Network Management Proxy

Network Management Proxy is used to control a UPS and connect it to the TCP/IP network.

Network Management System

The Network Management System (NMS) supervises SNMP devices connected to the TCP/IP Network.

Network Shutdown Module

The Network Shutdown Module is a software module that uses the information transmitted by the Dell Network Management Card/Proxy to inform computer users on the current status of the electrical power supplied to the computer.

If the supply of the electrical power from the UPS is at risk, the Network Shutdown Module initiates an orderly shutdown of the computer under the most secure conditions possible.

RSA Algorithm

An algorithm for public-key cryptography encryption protocol. An RSA key is the result of operations involving prime numbers. RSA refers to Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, who described public-key cryptosystems in 1978.

Secure Socket Layer

The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a solution for securing transactions over the internet. SSL is a communication protocol that authenticates the data exchanged, as well as ensuring its confidentiality and integrity. The protocol uses a recognized encryption method, the RSA algorithm with a public key. SSL is built into Internet Web browsers. The padlock in the bottom of your browser screen is automatically displayed if the server sending information uses SSL.

Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol

TCP/IP is a family of network and communication protocols for the transport and network layers. Also known as the Internet Protocol suite of network communication protocols.

Configuration

This chapter describes how to configure the Dell Multi-UPS Management Console (MUMC).

Node Configuration and Console Settings

Each node [Dell UPS Management Card, a Dell PDU, or Dell UPS Local Node Manager (ULNM)], must have a valid IP address (or a DNS name) in the range that you have entered for auto-discovery. ( “Compatibility

Dell MUMC automatically receives the alarms (through notification or polling) without specific configuration on the network card, proxies or applications.

For SNMP acquisition, check the community name.

• Default community name is configured in

• A specific community name can be defined for each IP range in

menu item.

Configuration 24

Figure 6. Auto Discovery Method Buttons

The following operation notes apply when discovering nodes:

• The “Quick Scan” request is a Broadcast frame on 4679 IANA reserved port and 69 standard TFTP port. Using the “Quick Scan” operation, you will discover through broadcast within a few seconds following Web/SNMP cards.

• For the nodes outside of the network segment, perform the discovery based on IP address ranges using the “Range Scan” option. Using the “Range Scan” operation you will discover the nodes that are outside of the Network segment and nodes that are not compatible with the “Quick Scan” feature.

• “Address Scan” performs a single address scan (or several IP addresses separated by the ';'character)

Configure Actions

You can define the way users will be notified when node events happen.

From the Settings > Actions menu item selection, the Actions page displays. The following buttons are provided (see Figure 7):

• Create a new action

• Copy selected action

• Edit selected action

• Test selected action

• Remove selected action

NOTE: The “*” fields are required.

Events Filter

You can filter the action according to:

•

Event criticalities

: Critical, Warning, Normal, Communication Lost

NOTE: With this parameter, you can filter the notification according to the event level. Refer to the event list

provided later in this document. If you select “Critical” as filter you will not receive the associated “Normal” event informing that the device status changes from “Critical” to “Normal.”

•

Event category

: All Events, Alarms, Shutdown events, Power events, Measures

NOTE: The pen icon allows editing and selecting the event category.

•

View

: The view that triggers the event

Configuration 27

To receive email on UPS events:

• You have to indicate the SMTP server address and recipient email address. Login and password are used when SMTP server requests authentication.

For advanced use:

• You can customized the subject, such as when you use third-party service provider to translate email into SMS.

• You can specify that you want to receive a consolidation of the alarms that occurred during a delay time duration that you choose.

For example, if you specify none, each alarm will generate an email. With this setting, you will receive more email for the same number of events.

Execute Script/Program

To execute a program on UPS events, the program path will be required.

The program is executed under the SYSTEM account.

NOTE:

• If an action (script or program) cannot be executed under the SYSTEM account, it is necessary to modify the execution context before it can be run.

• To allow a user to run specific tools and programs with permissions that are different from those assigned to the user's account, use the Windows “RunAs” command. This allows you to save the password (Windows XP Service Pac 2 and more recent versions).

• Use the following Microsoft command:

runas /profile /user:<windows_ login> /savecred <DELL_MUMC

INSTALLATION_PATH\mc2.exe>

• When first executed, a password is required; it is saved for subsequent executions.

Alarm Box Notification

The alarms are displayed on the local computer in an alarm box (see Figure 9). The status part of the alarm box is optional. It only appears if a Power Source has been declared in the Shutdown configuration.

Configuration 28

Advanced Events and Actions Customization

In Dell MUMC installation folder, there is a configs/scripts folder containing a sample user-defined action script (sample_user_script.js).

You can modify this script or create new scripts that define very specific events and actions. The sample script provides details about the expected structure and syntax for defining new actions and triggers.

To activate the execution of a script, set the enabled property to true as follows:

UserScript = { name: "MyScript", enabled: true, // Set this property to true to enable the script }

Sample Scripts found in {INSTALLATION_PATH}/configs/scripts

Sample script: windows_event.js

This is a sample user script for Windows Event Logs. It allows the software to write in the local windows event log (Utility Failure/Utility Restored events). It is enabled by default.

The bolded attributes can be modified as follows:

UserScript = { name: "WindowsEvents", enabled: true, // Set this property to true to enable the script onEvent: true, delay: 0, // This property can be used to delay first execution of

the script interval: 10000, // and at an interval of every 10 seconds after

that

Sample script: humidity_shutdown.js

This is a sample script to trigger a humidity or temperature alarm from a PDU and launch a shutdown sequence. This script illustrates what can be done with PDU probes.

Configuration 30

The bolded attributes can be modified as follows:

UserScript = { name: "ShutdownByTemperatureOrHumidity", enabled: false, // Set this property to true to enable the script onEvent: true, delay: 0, // This property can be used to delay first execution of

the script interval: 10000, // and every 10s from that

…

/// @property {Integer} pduName This property is PDU ip address with humidity sonde which must be checked

pduName : "178.222.223.224",

/// @property {Integer} pduHumidityLimit This property is value limit of humidity before shutdown.

pduHumidityLimit : 20,

/// @property {Integer} pduTemperatureLimit This property is value limit of temperature before shutdown.

pduTemperatureLimit : 20,

Advanced Sound Alarm Customization

To configure sound alarms on events:

In the file {INSTALL DIRECTORY}\Dell\MultiUPSManagementConsole\configs\config.js, change the configuration as follows:

'systray':

{

'soundAlarm': false,

'notificationIcon': true,

'notificationBox': true

}
