Testing UM-Agent

After installation, it is important to check that UM-Agent communicates with the UPS and responds to SNMP requests.

Basic test:

You have installed UM-Console + on the same computer as UM-Agent. The modules installed are run automatically, wait for a few minutes then configure UM-Console + check on UM Console + that the link between the icons representing the computer and the UPS is green. This test shows that UM-Agent is operating correctly.

If the link remains red or gray, check the UPS connection . If this is not sufficient, perform the advanced tests.

Advanced tests:

• for the test purposes, you can start UM-Agent in verbose mode and analyze the messages obtained.
• to test the IP communication from another computer, enter:
  ping < UM-Agent IP address>.
• to test the SNMP communication from a computer where you have installed UM-Client, go to the directory where UM-Client is installed and enter:
  snmpm [</c:Community name>] get < UM-Agent IP Address > 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
  and you will obtain the references of the SNMP agent. Otherwise, check that TCP/IP and the SNMP agent have been activated
  snmpm [</c:Community name>] get <UM-Agent IP Address> 1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.1.1.0
  and you will obtain the UPS family name (« Pulsar » for example) . Otherwise, check UPS/agent communication.
