Product Usage Instructions
Introduction
Scope
This manual is applicable to M359-X-X-1 and M362-X-X-1 UPSs (for M359-1 the CLI is supported only by units of Rev E or higher).
General
The UPS’s Command Line Interface (CLI) allows the configuration of Milpower Source’s UPS from a PC station by using an RS232 connection. The only software required for the configuration is a VT100 terminal so the configuration can be done both from Windows and from Linux.
Installation and Configuration Management
Required Hardware and Software
- PC computer with serial VT100/VT220/VT320 terminal (such as freeware TeraTerm app)
- DB9 straight through cable.
Starting a Session
- Connect your computer to the UPS using a 9 pin serial (RS232) cable.
- Verify that the UPS is on.
- Open a serial VT100/VT220/VT320 terminal.
- Set the connection definitions to baud rate ‘19200’, data ‘8’ bit, parity ‘none’, stop bits ‘1’, flow control ‘none’.
- Press “Enter” key. The following report will be shown on the terminal screen.
Note the firmaware version on top of the screen.
For M359 only: If the version is below 2.02.13 then the agent firmware should be upgraded to allow CLI interface. For the upgrade procedure refere to MPS web site.- If you do not see this screen check the following:
- Is the UPS connected to the PC with a pin-to-pin (not crossover) RS232 cable?
- Is it connected to the right COM port?
- Is the UPS turned ON?
- For M359-1 only: verify that the UPS is revision E or higher.
- Type ‘console ’ (with single space) followed by admin password (default ‘web pass’).
- If the password is correct, then the CLI main menu will be displayed on screen as described in next chapter.
CLI Menus
- After login to CLI, all Ethernet communications will cease until agent reboot. This does not influence the UPS controller, so UPS would continue working as before.
- The CLI has a 5 minute timeout, so that after 5 minutes of inactivity the agent will log you out and reboot. Any action restarts the time counter.
- The following screenshots show the available menus.
- Press relevant keys to move between menus. No need to press ‘enter’
- After finishing all updates, press ‘r’ in the main menu to reboot.
- On each menu, press ‘b’ to move back one level, numbers are used to choose options.
- In various occasions when you required typing some value a default/current value will be displayed in square brackets. Press ENTER without typing anything to accept/leave the current value displayed or type a new one.
