- LANtastic Network Operating System v4.00 Compatibility Testing Report
- Product Reviewed: Tripp Lite LAN UPSes
- Classification: UPS
- Date: 11/26/91
- Engineer: J Gerring
-
-
- Compatibility Statement
- The Tripp Lite BC/LAN and Omni/LAN UPS lines are compatible with LANtastic
- NOS 4.xx and the LANtastic NOS 4.0 UPS monitoring utility (UPS.EXE).
-
- Product Overview
- Tripp Lite's LAN UPSes can be used in conjunction with LANtastic NOS 4.0's
- UPS.EXE (UPS monitoring utility), to safely shut-down a server during a power
- failure. Tripp Lite provides a serial interface cable (part #73-665) that
- provides the hardware interface to signal the UPS.EXE utility at the time of
- power loss, allowing the server program to safely shut down before the UPS is
- depleted. If utility power returns before the server shuts down, the UPS will
- signal the server again and the impending shut down will be canceled. See the
- LANtastic NOS 4.0 README.DOC file for a complete description of the UPS.EXE
- utility.
-
- Product Installation Notes
- The UPS.EXE utility is automatically copied to the server's hard drive during the
- LANtastic installation procedure. Two basic steps are required to enable UPS
- monitoring on the server: (1) Connect the UPS to an available serial port on the
- server using the Tripp Lite serial cable. (2) Modify the STARTNET.BAT (or other
- batch file that brings up the NOS) to include the UPS utility. For example, a
- batch file for a system using Artisoft's AE3 adapters would look like this:
-
- aex
- ailanbio
- redir Host
- share
- server
- UPS
-
- See the README.DOC file for information on customizing the UPS.EXE utility.
