Specific configuration for Netware

      Enabling native agent

      The system must have a TCP/IP network connection and a serial connection to the UPS and switchable plugs. In addition, you must install and configure the SNMP agent supplied with TCP/IP, as follows:

      • define the SysName, SysContact and SysLocation values in the sys:\etc\snmp.cfg file;
      • define the community names in the autoexec.ncf file;
      • define the IP address and host system name in the sys:\etc\hosts file.

      Use a text editor to update these files and follow the instructions in the commentaries included in the files. For more information, consult the documentation supplied with your TCP/IP software.

      Check that there is an entry in the sys:\etc\services file to set the port number used to send traps. Add this line if it is not present:

      snmp-trap 162/udp

      Setting up SNMP under NetWare 4.1

      Use the INETCFG.NLM utility to set up SNMP. The "ControlCommunity" parameter must be read-write enabled. By default, the community name is not write accessible.

      Delete the following line from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file (the "M=, C=, T=" parameters are not valid under NetWare 4.1):
      LOAD SNMP M=... C=public T=...

      The parameters "M=, C=, T=" are not correct under Netware 4.1x.

      Serial port configuration for UM-Agent

      Use the configuration utility
      select the appropriate serial port:
      the default value is B0P0.

      "B0" identifies the number of the board on which the serial port used to connect to the UPS is located. Possible values are 0, 1, 2 or 3.

      P0" identifies the number of the port. Possible values are 0, 1, 2 or 3.

      For example, for board 1 and port 0, select "B1P0".
      If you are not sure of the number for the board or port on your system, load the appropriate NLM module.

      For example: LOAD AIOCOMX
       AIOCOMX will list the numbers of the detected boards and ports.

      If you get messages telling you "cannot find public symbol", you will need to load additional NLMs. For your convenience, we have included the AIOCOMX NLM module on the CD-ROM.

      Customizing UM-Client command file :

      The following command files may be customized:

      umc_shut.src

      This command file is invoked when the system shutdown procedure is initiated.

      umc_log.src

      This command file is invoked when a record is written to the log file.

      umc_brdc.src

      This command file is invoked when a message is to the administrator or users.

      umc_unkn.src

      This command file is invoked when a non-standard event is received.

      Because command language and parameters are not available for NetWare command files (.NCF), the following syntax can be used:

      • parameters:
         Each command file receives parameters (trap number, IP address, etc.) when it is executed. Parameters can be used within NetWare commands by using the following notation:
        ~%i~ for parameter number i
        Character ~ is Alt 126.
        Example:
        send TRAP NUMBER ~%2~ RECEIVED FROM ~%1~
         The parameters available for each command file are listed in the command file itself.
      • Conditional blocks:
         Processing may be subjected to conditions by using the following syntax:
        #if define V1 AND V2
        NetWare command
        NetWare command
        ...
        #end if

        #if define V3 OR V2
        NetWare command
        #end if

        #if not define V4
        NetWare command
        #end if

      Where Vx are pre-defined variables that UM-Client defines before executing the file.

      The list of pre-defined variables available for each command file is located in the command file itself.

      NB: # must be the first character on the line. Conditional blocks must not be interleaved.
