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 another 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.

      Remark : you also can perform a snmp request using following way :

      OS/2 WARP Connect:

      snmp -h  <host IP Address> -c <Community name> get sysDescr.0

      OS/2 2.x:

      Depending on the TCP/IP version, the SNMP command syntax is either identical to the syntax for OS/2 WARP or you must use the following sequence:

      start the SNMPREQD program:
      start snmpreqd.exe <Enter>

      then consult the host workstation agent:
      snmp get <host IP Address>
      <Community name> sysDescr       <Enter>
