# Help on 'System Information'

Self Test: A self test is a short hardware test, which switches the device to a short discharging.
Battery Test: A battery test is a short battery test, which switches the battery to a short discharging.
Custom Test: A custom test checks, if the batteries are able to hold the downtime at least.
Full Test: A full test is used to calibrate the UPS and will discharge the batteries till the „battery low“ limit.
This test should be done once a year at most, because to avoid a damage of the batteries.
Online (Inverter Mode): This is a function to switch into “Normal Mode” (power supply of the battery).
This status is the normal UPS mode and it is actual not necessary to schedule any kind of commands.
Offline (Bypass Mode): This is a function to switch into “Bypass Mode”. Thereby the inverter of the UPS is not in usage and the current would not be buffered,
if a failure would occur. This mode displays a failure of the UPS, please call the UPS service to solve the problem.
Shutdown UPS: This action causes the switch off of the UPS. This could be arranged, if a low charging of the battery occurs,
in case of a fire alarm or a power failure happens.
Switch UPS Outlet: This is a function to switch of the UPS outlets (not provided of every UPS).
Switch AUX Port: In general the AUX port is used for additional contacts, which can be configured as in- or output
(e. g.: as input for alarm contacts of an air conditioner or as an output to switch a connector). If the contacts will be configured as inputs, they are able to be used as event in the “Event Settings”.
Additionally you can establish jobs, if they are configured as outputs. The menu “Switch AUX port” is for outputs only. You cannot switch inputs!
RCCMD Shutdown: Here, IP-addresses from computers with RCCMD connection (receivers) in the network can be entered. The CS121-adapter can then initiate a multi-server shutdown.
The timing for such a shutdown procedure depends on the configured down time of the adapter (default: time of the remaining capacity of battery in minutes, during a long power fail.)
or on a countdown timer. Extended CS121-adapters can also use more events (e. g. battery low, battery defect, communication lost etc.) as RCCMD signals. Please contact your UPS dealer for more information.
RCCMD Message: With this job the user can combine and configure a text message with RCCMD event. Text messages can be sent to RCCMD receivers. This makes it possible to send text messages via RCCMD (version 2 or higher)
to a Windows 2000 server or a Unix computer, using the “NET SEND” or the respective “WALL” method. The problem with notifying network users on different operating systems is therefore solved.
RCCMD Command: This RCCMD signal will cause any RCCMD receiver (e.g. another CS121, RCCMD client or SITEMANAGER, SITESWITCH4) to execute a command or program, e. g.: to start a program at a remote work station.
Native UPS Command: (for very experienced users only) This is a function to execute UPS own commands. Assumption: The user knows the “Command IDs” and the proper parameter. These commands require additional parameter.
If you want to use these kind of commands, just contact your UPS dealer.
(De-) Activate Event: This is a function to switch off appointed events/alarms.
Send WOL: WOL stands for “Wake on LAN”. This function uses data packages to prompt other computers in a local network to start-up. Please use this function in the event “UPSMAN started” to wake up computers
which have been shut downed previously after an extended power outage, which cause the CS121 or UPS to switch off completely. Additional you may add this WOL signal to the EVENT “Power restored”.
Advice: Not every network cards are providing this function or are password protected. Activate this function into the BIOS settings of the motherboard.
