Software for Unix will send periodic alerts to users to inform them about the impending system shutdown every minute based on this setting. When countdown ends, the system will be shut down. Maximum value is 24 hours; minimum value should not less than the battery low delay time.

[b] System Shutdown Delay Time When Battery Low:

This is the delay time when a battery low condition occurs during power failure countdown. This is usually shorter than the utility failure delay time since the UPS battery is almost depleted. Minimum value is 1 minute; maximum value should not be greater than the delay time when AC power fails.

[u] UPS Turn Off Delay Time:

This is delay time before the UPS stops providing output power. It has to be long enough to make sure the Unix system can be shut down completely. The turn off command is issued to the UPS at the same time when system begins the shutdown process. This delay time can be: 0.2, 0.3, … 0.9, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, …10.0 minutes.

Belkin Power Management Software

[k] <<Change UPS Monitoring>>

Set this value to Monitor UPS from local serial port if the

UPS providing your computer’s power is connected to your system’s serial port.

See chapter 4.3.2 for more information.

Set this value to Monitor local

UPS SNMP agent if the UPS providing your computer’s power is connected to an SNMP agent on the network.

See Chapter 4.3.3 for more information

[n] Shutdown Count Down Display:

Set this value to ON if you want users to receive periodic alerts before system shutdown. Set this value to OFF if otherwise.

[l] Scheduling Function:

Set this value to

ON if you want to schedule unattended system shutdown and automatic reboot. Set this value to OFF if otherwise.

Setting this value to OFF will also stop an impending scheduled system shutdown.

Belkin Power Management Software

[a] Turn off UPS after System Shutdown

Set this value to YES if you want Belkin Power

Management Software to turn off the UPS after shutting down the system. Set this value to NO If you want the

UPS to continue providing output power until its batteries get drained. Belkin Power Management Software would not be able to reboot the system automatically if this value was set to NO.

[t] Time Scheduling (hh:mm)

Set various startup and shutdown times for every day for the week. Belkin Power Management Software for Unix powers down and reboots the system based on this preset weekly schedule. When the scheduled time to shutdown approaches, Belkin Power Management Software for Unix will send periodic alerts to inform users to save files, close jobs and log out of the system.

[s] Save Configuration.

Saves all modified parameters.

[q] Quit.

Quit configuration without saving changes.

4.3.2. Communication Port

Set option [k] to Monitor UPS from local serial port if you intend to use Belkin Power Management Software to monitor a UPS attached to your system’s serial port.

Belkin Power Management Software

[c] Communication Port:

This is the device name of the serial port connected to the

UPS. The default port name should be right for most systems. You can set this to any name that your system actually uses. Serial port names differ between each operating system. If you are not sure of the correct port name, please check your system documentation or refer to Appendix B for the correct serial port name.

Belkin Power Management Software would try to auto-detect your Serial Port Name if you happen to enter a wrong one. If auto-detection fails then the message “UPS

Adapter No Response” would appear.

[v] Battery Rating Voltage (if not provided by UPS):

This option appears only when UPS monitoring is done through the system’s serial port. Set this value only if your

UPS does not provide this information. You could get this value from your UPS operation manual. This value will be used to calculate the battery level displayed on the status screen.

What to do when a "UPS adapter no response" message appears after running Belkin Power Management

Software for Unix. (Linux OS was used as an example).

Please refer to the system documentation if you do not have the same Unix system as serial port setup procedures may vary from system to system.

1. Make sure no other process uses the same serial port.

2. Turn off function 'getty' of the serial port.

Belkin Power Management Software

For Linux OS, check the file ‘/etc/inittab’ for the line below, and change ”respawn” to ”off”:

ttya:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 ttyS0

Change this value to “off” Com1

Execute this command if you modified the ‘/etc/ttytab’ file.

This will force an initial process that closes and re-opens the terminals.

kill -1 1

3. Change the file permission of ‘/dev/ttyS0’

chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0

4.3.3. Community Name and IP Address Configuration

Set option [k] to Monitor local UPS SNMP agent if you intend to use Belkin Power Management Software to monitor a UPS attached to a local SNMP agent. The host computer (this computer’s IP address) should have read-write access right to the SNMP agent.

[o] Community Name

The community name should correspond to a community known to the UPS SNMP agent.

[p] Ip Address

The target SNMP Agent IP address.

4.3.4. Event Notice by Email

Belkin Power Management Software for Unix provides event notice functions. These functions enable you to know the newest power events by email or pager(chapter

4.3.5).

When power event occurs, Belkin Power Management

Software will sends necessary message to the email address (es) recorded in the file named

/etc/belkin/belkin.eml

This is a plain text file, adding any email address in a new line will enable Belkin Power Management Software sending necessary message to it when power events occur. These power events include Utility Fail, Utility

Recovery, Battery Low and Battery Recovery.

4.3.5. Event Notice by Pager

This function is likely to the function of 'Event Notice by

Email'. When power event occurs, Belkin Power

Management Software will try to dial telephone or pager numbers according to the file named

/etc/belkin/belkin.pgr

This is also a plain text file, words in the first line denotes the pager port Belkin Power Management Software will use when power event occurs, line(s) between the first and the second lines with a '~' mark leading to denote the pager number(s) Belkin Power Management Software will dial when utility is fail, line(s) between the second and the third lines with a '~' mark leading to denote the pager number(s) Belkin Power Management Software will dial

Belkin Power Management Software

when utility recover, line(s) between the third and the fourth lines with a '~' mark leading to denote the pager number(s) Belkin Power Management Software will dial when battery capacity is about to deplete , line(s) below the fourth line with a '~' mark leading to denote the pager number(s) Belkin Power Management Software will dial when battery capacity recover , so , the content of Belkin

Power Management Software.pgr will looks like

4.3.6. Shutdown Batch Job

Belkin Power Management Software for Unix provides a batch job function. This function enables you to execute some processes before system shutdown. The filename is:

/etc/belkin/preshut.bat

This is a plain text file. Use any editor to add or modify commands in this file. Add comments by placing a leading

'#' to the line.

4.3.7. Shutdown Command File

This file contains the command needed to shut down the system. The filename is:

/etc/belkin/shutdown.ini

This file contains only one line of command. Please refer to your system’s operation manual before making any modifications. Be sure the command could actually

shut down your system.

4.11. Belkin Power Management Software FAQ

Q1 Belkin Power Management Software for Unix works fine when manually activated but an error message "UPS adapter no response!" appears when the system activates it at start-up.

Answer:

Make sure no other process uses the same serial port as

Belkin Power Management Software for Unix daemon.

Q2. I tried running the Belkin Power Management Software for Unix on FreeBSD Unix system, but it doesn't work, why?

Answer:

Belkin Power Management Software for Unix uses Unix

IPC (Inter Process Communication) functions. FreeBSD does support System V IPC primitives, but you must install this option first. Add the following lines to your kernel config to enable Inter Process Communication.

options SYSVSHM

options "SHMMAXPGS=64" # 256Kb of sharable memory

options SYSVSEM # enable for semaphores

options SYSVMSG # enable for messaging

Recompile and install.
