You've now placed the source computer of the SNMP set and the network(s) in between that computer
and the UPS systems in the area of SAFETY. So while you were rebooting the PC, the sprinkler
went off, the water dropped on a machine that was still powered on, someone got shocked and
the lawyers smell blood in the water.
I use a totally external means. The alarms guy gave me a pair of contacts, I use that to trigger
an in house designed box and that box ties to the 9 pin connector on the UPS, shorting pins
4 and 7 to kill the UPS.
1. A symmetra may have a different shutdown mechanism than the Smart UPS's I use.
2. Realize that although the UPS output is off, unless the incoming power to the UPS is down
the UPS is hot regardless of the shutdown. All that does is turn off the output.
One other thing - WUG can't do SNMP sets directly. You have to use a notification to call
a program which could do an SNMP set.

WOW... better protect those community strings bro..... sounds pretty dangerous. remember, SNMPv1 all communities are passed in CLEAR text. this is the main reason why i don't enable server re-boots or router re-boots via SNMP sets.

Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] APC UPS - emergency power off
Hi, people.
Does anybody know of a UPS MIB value of any type that relates to emergency
power off? I've got two Symmetra 16Kva power array units. I saw nothing
of the such in the APC MIB file, and on the website all I found with
realation to EPO was APC's remote power off device, which can be used as
part of an EPO system.
Is this some type of set-up by which, if I know there is a disaster
situation like a fire in a building, I can send out an SNMP set command
that will force all power off through the UPS??
Thanks......
