Before you start ….
- Do not forget to document your configurations
UNMS II is a flexible system that can be individually adapted to your requirements. Some
functions depend on preparatory work that must be carried out to enable the desired function.
- Think about the task the UNMS II shall do before staring any configuration
With the number of devices, screens and configured functions, function groups, users, etc., it is
becoming increasingly difficult to make fundamental changes. It is difficult to determine where
exactly the point is at which a realignment of the UNMS is associated with an extreme
configuration effort. Good planning and structuring of the tasks and subtasks in advance can
save a lot of time afterwards.
- Try one or two test installations before
The basic structure of UNMS II is very logical, but especially when you have to work with IIS,
strange results occur again and again, the cause of which can be traced back to a
misconfiguration in IIS. In some cases, you have to know which configuration menu in IIS is
responsible for this and document it accordingly.
- Regular performed backups will safe time and nervs
Especially if you are planning a major change, you should create a backup in order to be able
to return to the original state at any time. Otherwise, you could run the risk of a major data loss
when running system changes.
- Check whether your version of UNMS II supports the desired function.
The scope of functions and possibilities of UNMS depends on the version. If a function cannot
be carried out, there may be two reasons for this:
1. your version of UNMS II cannot perform

this function due to the software
licensing.
2. the framework condition for this function

is not fulfilled.
5
Version: 2023-07-11
1. Quick Install
Preparation Windows Features – Add the IIS
A UNMS II uses Microsoft's Internet Information Service (IIS) to deliver all configured information via a http in a format a standard
web browser can handle. Due to this fact the UNMS 2 installer takes care for this and checks if the IIS is available on the machine
the installation shall be caried out. If the required services and modules are not available, the installation fails.
Please note: the quick start guide uses Windows 10 Professional, to install the IIS and the necessary components via the program
features. Other operating systems are described later in this manual.
The following Windows features are necessary for the operation of the UNMS II:
Keep in mind: Other Microsoft operating system versions may use other labels or differ in methods how to install these
functions, but the functionality is always are always the same! If unsure, please refer to your local system administrator.
6
Version: 2023-07-11
Furthermore, the installation of UNMS II needs increased system rights, since, among other things, services running in the
background are also installed, which must be available independently of a user or administrator console.
Therefore, the installation can only be initiated if executed from the Windows context menu "As administrator".:
The installation dialogue guides through the installation process:
Click next … … Accept End-User License agreement …
… Enter the license key… … Choose destination path …
…And click “Install” to finish
7
Version: 2023-07-11
When you start UNMS II for the first time, you will be greeted with the following screen:
To check whether the UNMS II has been installed correctly and the IIS service is also running as requested, first press Cancel
on Discover services and then press the small red traffic light in the top left-hand corner to start the UNMS regularly.
If you see the following screen, the UNMS is set up correctly and you can start with the configuration work:
The web interface shows an unconfigured standard layout with 9 predefined zones. Since no devices are stored yet
8
Version: 2023-07-11
Note: If the UNMS does not display a web interface at start-up: Check the IIS
The Internet Information Service is a highly sensitive tool within a Windows installation..
1. Check whether the web page management is active:
Opposite Default Web Site is the item Manage Web Page. This service must be started, otherwise the IIS will not
deliver any web pages to a web browser.
2. Check the bindings
When you open this window, you will find port bindings. Here you must find at least http port 80 with the IP address *,
if you want to use https, correspondingly also port 443:
3. Restart the IIS service
After each change in the IIS itself, you should restart the IIS service so that all your changes are read in and initialised
correctly. Make sure to check again if point 1 has been fulfilled in case of a restart, otherwise you will run into the
same error again.

Version: 2023-07-11
Search and import devices
For this configuration step you need the following menu:
When you start the UNMS II for the first time, the Discovery Service starts first. With this service, you can scan your entire
network on an IP basis for any available devices. If you have already pressed Cancel to orientate yourself first and check if the
IIS is working properly, open Tools > Discovery services.
The Discovery Service automatically finds all devices that can be displayed via SNMP and offers them to you for further
configuration of the UNMS II.
10
Version: 2023-07-11
To find devices, the Discovery Service needs to know where to search for devices within your network.
Step 1: Setting up the network scan
Select network
With the first two octets, define the basic network that is to be scanned. As the number of existing IP addresses can become
very large, the input option is limited. Please enter the first two numbers of your network:
192.168.
17.15.
158.75.
Subnet
Enter the range to be scanned here. This value defines the third octet within the IP address. Unlike Select network, you enter an
address range here. For example, if you want to scan from network segment 100 - 103, enter these two values. The UNMS will
then check the following network segments:
192.168.100.xxx
192.168.101.xxx
192.168.102.xxx
192.168.103.xxx
If you just want to scan the 102, you may enter 102 - 102.
Hosts
In large networks, IP address ranges are traditionally divided to avoid uncontrolled proliferation. The type of division varies
greatly. For example, the host range 1-30 is often used for routers and switches, 31-50 for servers, 51-60 for printers, ...
If you do not know the exact IP address, but you know that it can only be within a certain range, enter the start address and the
corresponding end address here. For example, if you define from IP 100- 150, the UNMS will scan the network afterwards as
follows:
192.168.100.100
192.168.100.101
192.168.100.102
[…]
192.168.100.150
192.168.101.100
192.168.101.101
192.168.101.102
[…]
The last scanned IP address will be 192.168.103.150.
11
Version: 2023-07-11
Note:
When specifying the address ranges, be sure to use the correct default settings, otherwise UNMS may take a very long time, as
each IP address specified is checked exclusively.
As name for UNMS service
With this setting, you define whether the UNMS will use the UPS or the IP address for
displaying scan results. This setting has a subordinate role for the scanning process itself, but
it may help you to identify the devices you are looking for.
In this manual we use the setting "use IP address" - however, the name displayed within the UNMS is freely configurable and
can be changed at any time.
Monitor scan progress
As soon as you press Start, UNMS starts the

network scan. In the scan progress will show
- The network segment the scan is
currently in progress
- Which IP address range is specifically

scanned.
This screenshot, eg, shows the following

information:
- The network from 192.168.220.XXX to
192.168.222.XXX is scanned.
- The IP addresses 100 - 254 are

checked.
- With (curr.220) the network scan is in the network 192.168.220.XXX
The green indicator bar shows the scanning progress of the current network segment (curr. 220). The green indicator bar shows
the progress over already scanned IP addresses.
The results of the scan are displayed in the list below:
12
Version: 2023-07-11
Importing scan results to the UNMS
With the next step, the devices found must be

transferred to UNMS. To do this, simply select
the desired units by ticking the corresponding
checkbox.
When you have selected all the devices, press

OK.
The selected devices are then displayed in the main window of the Discovery Service under Recently found services:
From now, it is possible to perform a new scan with a different IP address range to search for other devices.
Note:
You do not have to rescan every time you close the Discovery Service. All devices that you have placed in Recently found
services will remain there in the list until you either remove them with Clear Result or distribute them to the appropriate UNMS
services.
Adding found devices to the UNMS monitoring
During installation, UNMS offers 9 so-called "zones " as basic settings.

Found devices, the "services" can be mobef there via drag'n'drop.
Simply hold down the desired device with the left mouse button and drag
it to the corresponding zone.
This action removes the device from the Recently found Services list and
adds it to the corresponding zone.
When all devices have been distributed, press Apply to confirm your
setup.
Customizing „the Zone“
The word "Zone 1" sounds like some kind of

black high tech vodoo, but is, unfortunately
only meaningful to a limited extent. Due to
this fact, the UNMS offers the option of adapting the name accordingly for the context and usage.
To do this, right-click on the zone and then select the option "Properties" in the context menu.
13
Version: 2023-07-11
A new tab opens which displays the properties of this zone. Change the name of Zone 1 to an appropriately adapted term:
When you have completed your adjustments, tap the heels of your feet together twice , say OZ or click OK - although clicking
OK is more likely to have the desired effect within the UNMS II, Dorothy…
Saving and first UNMS II start
As soon as you have unnamed all zones, press the disk symbol at the top left to save and then the red
light to end the current state - UNMS is stopped. UNMS will then permanently import the new data and
restart the necessary services.
14
Version: 2023-07-11
UNMS II – changing the UNMS II Screens
Anyway, Dorothy, ... the UNMS II provides many options for sorting the monitored devices and organize them in well-structured
groups and subgroups. In addition, in addition, it is also possible to use any background image for the monitored services, and
position all icons freely.
This will not only help to organize your services, this function can also be used to to clarify the function of a monitored system
accordingly.
First open the UNMS Options under Tools. In this collection of tabs, numerous basic settings can be carried out, including
adjusting the image. Click on the Editor tab to adapt the general basic layout to your ideas:
Changing the Start Screen
Select one of the images already included or create your own image that fits the
application scenario.
Please note that the image must be stored in the corresponding image directory
of the UNMS II in terms of system rights, otherwise the image can be selected
but ultimately cannot be used..
The UNMS II does not create copies of image files from other directories,
pictures must be copied manually in PNG format into the UNMS directory.The default directory is:
15
Version: 2023-07-11
C:\UPS\unmsII\www\image
Changing the icon set
In the same directory (C:\UPS\unmsII\www\image) you will also find all pre-defined sets of icons the UNMS II comes with:
It is possible to customise the icons as you wish by creating new icons and renaming the file names accordingly. Since these
are standard gif files, administrators may also use any animated icons to meet internal corporate design guide lines.
Customizing the icon labels
Neben dem Ikon-Set an sich können Sie zahlreiche Anpassungen an der Beschriftung der Ikons und dem Hintergrund des
Schriftbildes durchführen, um die Lesbarkeit der Beschriftung anzupassen:
Moving and Replacing the icons on the main screens
Below the command line you will find the tabs "Web Console" and "Site Maps".
The Web Console is the preview of the UNMS' web-based interface for testing functions. All configured changes will be carried
out after saving / restarting the UNMS.
16
Version: 2023-07-11
By default, the web console is active. Switch to the Site Maps and move the icons, rename labels, etc:
Note:
In the site maps you can move the icons as you wish, the UNMS will only apply the settings when you restart the UNMS service
after saving. You can therefore configure the UNMS accordingly while it is working regularly from outside via the Web Console.
Save, exit and restart will permanently apply your settings to the system accordingly and restart the UNMS service.
You can view the success in the administration area of the UNMS II via the Web Console or via a web browser by calling up the
UNMS II web view:
Advanced graphics adjustments: Setting up sub-screens
17
Version: 2023-07-11
For technical reasons, it is not possible to display a zone and services - i.e. monitored devices - together.
Either you have set up further subordinate zones in a major zone, in which the services are then located, or you have set up a
zone at the top level, in which the monitored devices are located directly.
In order to add a sub-screen to the control panel in this case (services are allready moved to the site you want to add a sub
screen), you have to do a little preparatory work:
1. Temporarily move all services to another zone
To avoid accidentally losing a device, create your own zone and give it a
unique name, e.g. "Transfer" or "Temporary".
Since the zone is deleted afterwards before safing and restarting the
UNMS, this site will neverappear in the current web view of the UNMS II.
2. After cleaning up the major site, click on Porperties in the Site Explorer
control panel on the right side of the sreen to open the object properties.
Since this zone no longer contains any services, you can now assign
your own background image and thus change the character of this zone:
As soon as you have assigned an image accordingly, you can create

subordinate zones, but not move services into this site.
3. Create subordinated zones
Now create a new zone in the control panel, but do not assign a
background image! This way, you can later drag the temporarily parked
services into this new subzone and display them accordingly.
4. Use drag and drop to pull the services into the new sub-zones
18
Version: 2023-07-11
Move the temporarily parked services to the subordinate zone. You can
then delete the transfer zone that is no longer needed, as it no longer
fulfils any function.
Note:
Please note that this option is only available,

if you did not define a background image in step 3.
If you do not want to have the two devices in one mask...
Well, In this case, you simply create two separate subordinated zones and move the services into their own zones accordingly:
Adjusting the Icon position within the Sub-Screen
To do this, click on Site Maps tab in the top left-hand corner to be able to move icons. You will first see the start screen:
19
Version: 2023-07-11
Now double-click on the "Control Panel" icon - in the screenshot called "Systemsteuerung" - to open the corresponding
subordinate screen. You will notice the two icons - in this case System 47_1 and System 47_2:
Grab them with the left mous button to move them to where you want. After this, click on Save, Exit and Restart.
Access SubScreen via the web console by opening the control panel. The positions of the icons have been adjusted to the
position you want.
Adapt fonts in the subscreen
This function becomes interesting if, for example, you have a building plan where different UPS systems are distributed and you
want a division between emergency systems and less important systems. On a cruise ship, for example, this would be different
systems or hierarchically structured sub-distributors.
- The overview holds all available UPS systems and devices to be monitored
- In the system-related page, there are only the systems assigned to a special purpose.
Within a complex power distribution network, it is possible to maintain an overview in this way, as the font size and font
background can be freely defined for the respective sub screen.
How to adapt the sub screen fonts
It is important to understand the schematical concept behind this function: Any font change within a zone always affects
exclusively the sub-ordinated sites below this zone.
This results in the following display logic:

At Tools >Options, you can globally set the typeface, colour, size, etc..
Logically, this is hung up in the Site Explorer under SITES AND SERVICES.
This means, that everything that can be seen underneath takes over the
corresponding settings as a kind of global font setup..
Now, the UNMS offers to overwrite fonts locally for individual zones, but the
changes always take effect for the subordinate zones.
20
Version: 2023-07-11
So, if you click on "Properties" in the Site Explorer for the Control Panel site,
and adjust the font, size, etc., this will affect all subordinated zones, but not
the "Control Panel" site - the superordinate setting coming from "Sites and
Services" will stay valid.
You can now nest this as much as you like and change it "downstairs", as
long as you bear in mind that the respective sub-zone that is to accommodate
the icons has a background image stored and thus cannot hold any services.
Adding additional information
If you now take a look at the UPS screen within UNMS, an Info button is offered just below "Log". Each device integrated via
the Discovery Service first provides the UPS model (if used) and its own IP address as basic data. The UNMS II provides an
option to add as many information as wanted or needed
21
Version: 2023-07-11
Finding a device in the Site Explorer
The directory tree of the web interface provides you with the information where you can
find the device in Site Explorer.
In this example, the device you are looking for would be found in the control panel, exactly
under System 47_1.
Now open the Site Explorer in the Admin Console on the right-hand side and navigate to
the corresponding Ip address.
Then select the IP address with the right mouse button and select Properties in the context
menu to open the object properties:
At Service Properties, select the „INFO” – tab:

Note
Entered information are not transferred to the corresponding web manager, they are exclusively stored in the UNMS.

Version: 2023-07-11
Deposit contract data and service level
The UNMS can be used for many tasks. One of the more interesting functions is the automatic validity check of service levels as
contracts in case of the emergency power supply maintenance and repair work. In case of a detected system failure, the UNMS
provides information about a customer's service contracts, which contractual partner has to be called, the current response time
to solve the problem at latest, etc.
To add additional contract and

service level data, select “Contract”
Click “edit” to define service

number, service level and set the
status / expiring date
Enter UPS model, a contract

registration number or serial
number for this device
Click “Address” to define customer

data or address data of the device.
Add som additional information,

Notes, internal information about
the location, access control, etc.
After saving and restarting the UNMS, entered informations are accessible via web console for this UPS:

Version: 2023-07-11
Altering General Device setup
It is always possible that changing general device settings is required. In some cases it is just the IP address, in other cases the
entire query method changes with the SNMP card used.
To carry out these device changes, open the properties of the device and select the tab General..
Select “General” to change basic

settings for this device
Enable / Disable monitoring for

this device
Customize the display name and

define the redundancy group
Customzie the Request method to fit

to the according device /
infrastructure
Change the IP address or
hostname of the device. Also define
port or SNMP community.
Note: Diffferent tabs have different funcions
Basically, each tab can be seen separated (although the entered data are shown together). You should therefore keep an eye
on what shall be shown after all within the web interface ...
Site Name
This item is non-negotiable - it changes when you use the Site Explorer to drag and drop a device into another zone.
Service (On/Off)
If temporarily monitoring is unwanted for a single device, simply remove the tick. The device will then be listed in the UNMS but
displayed as "Disabled" and excluded from the real-time monitoring. Remember, as long as monitoring is disabled, there, no
alarm job will be triggered: It may also harm the character of redundancy based alarm jobs…
26
Version: 2023-07-11
Name / Group
“Name” defines the display name that will be shown when using the UNMS II Web interface. The name can be freely
customized to allow a quick location overview, function of this device, etc.
"Group" allows to define special redundancy groups within the UNMS, which can then be equipped with a separate configuration
if necessary. Find out more in the chapter "Setting redundancy groups".
Connection type
This setting only needs to be changed if you change the target card completely, e.g.
if you replace the UPS and use a card that is not compatible with the CS141:
Although there are general standards a communication should take place, there are
no standards that may force manufacturers to really stick to use them.
Furthermore, many manufacturers also provide their own products and monitoring
solutions on the market, and are naturally keen to sell their own solution the best
possible.UNMS II is designed to deal as openly as possible with other systems,
devices and SNMP card solutions, but it may be necessary to carry out
manufacturer-specific configurations on the target card itself so that communication
can be established.
If in doubt, contact the GENEREX support team:
support@generex.de
DNS name or IP-Adresse / UPSTCP Port (Community)
IP address and DNS
The UNMS II supports both DNS resolution of host names and direct entry of IP addresses. The difference between these two
options has far-reaching consequences for the configuration of your network:
- When using a host name, the network must provide a DNS server that can resolve a DNS name to an IP address. If this DNS
server is offline, you will no longer be able to reach the target device via host name. The advantage is that a DHCP server may
update IP address changes automatically.
- When specifying a direct IP address, on the other hand, you must assume that the IP address at the target device has been
statically assigned - if it is dynamically assigned by a DHCP server, it can also change sporadically and, as a consequence, you
need to search for the new one.
For the best setup, please refer to your local system administrator.
Note - Where to store infomration in case of a lost IP address
Open the tab Info and store any information locally within the UNMS II. In case of a "communication loss issue", the Info-Button
is still available and alive because these button will be feeded by the UNMS locally and not by the target device.
UPSTCP Port (Community)
The default port to query a CS141 device, is 5769 unless you have changed this manually to suit up the device for your network
policies. Customizing this port must therefore be carried out on both sites: the UNMS 2 and the destined CS141.
The default port to query a CS141 device, is 5769 unless you have changed this manually to suit up the device for your network
policies. Customizing this port must therefore be carried out on both sites: the UNMS 2 and the destined CS141. Some settings
will also change the "TCP Port" by the SNMP community option. According to your CS141 setup, ensure that you will use the
same community on both sites to prevend communication loss on startup.

Delete obsolete devices
At the tab Site Explorer, look to the right-handed site of the screen: Simply open with the
secondary mouse button the context menu and click "Delete". The UNMS will remove the
device and asks you to decide whether all log files shall be kept or not.
Since this is an adminstrative process, the changes will take effect after pressing Save,
Stop and Restart the UNMS.
Add UNMS functions
In general, the download server provides a UNMS Free license for use with a maximum number of 9 devices featuring 2
external devices. There are some other limitations like "Email traps", but for up to 4 or 5 UPS systems within a local network the
UNMS is perfectly suited for monitoring and automated network monitoring and management. Additional modules and functions
are also available, but you need the according registration key to unlock them:
1. Make a backup.
If, contrary to expectations, there are problems with the key file (typing errors, format
errors, etc.), you can revert to the last status at any time and, if necessary, reinstall the
UNMS system manually and restore the original system state within some minor mouse
clicks.
2. Vorbereiten der Key-Datei
Now, it is time to generate a key file that can easily imported by the UNMS::
Create a simple txt file and name it unms2key.txt
Within the text file, just write
[Install]
KeyCode=12H1234DE…
Keep in mind to use the exact text format and layout, or the key fill will not work after upload. When finished with
typing, select File and click on "save as":
By default, the text editor saves everything as a text file with the Text editor's extension choice [filename].txt. One can
not simply rename the file name into unms2.key, the text editor would add ".txt" to your file name:
unms2.key.txt
If you want to change the file character itself, you need to choose "save as..." and select “all data *.*”
28
Version: 2023-07-11
And THAN type the file name: unms2.key
Due to the fact, the text editor does not know what a *.key file is, the text editor symbol should not
appear as long as you choos „open with” and tell windows, that the text editor is the editor of your
choice. Anyway, your key file is now ready to use with the UNMS.
3. Call up the About Screen:
At the UNMS adminstration tool, select „Help“ and

click on „About UNMS”.
You should see a main window that provides all important information about your copy of the UNMS 2 – software:

Tutorial: Add a job with different mail receivers to an event
For this function, there are some preparations necessary to unlock the corresponding configuration menu
A various number of UNMS 2 menus depend on basic settings like a mail server and aan will only appear if the configuration
allows a usage. This special e-mail job therefore can only be configured if the UNMS 2 has previously been allowed to use a
mail server to run mail jobs. If the UNMS mail option is not configured accordingly, the configuration menu for this job is not
accessible.
Due to this fact, first check whether the mail server is configured:
Note:
The UNMS 2 generally uses a persistent configuration to allow making changes to the UNMS without disturbing productive
operation.
However, in order to activate changes, the UNMS must be deliberately stopped and restarted after saving. If your UNMS version
does not support a special function by configuration or version design, you will not find the corresponding menu.
Check / Configure the general mail setup
First open UNMS Options menu to access the basic configuration dialogue.
To set up a valid mail server, select the "E-mail" tab in the configuration dialogue:
Choose the tab “E-Mail”
Enable the build-in E-Mail client and function
Define the mail server the UNMS II shall use
If authentification is required, enable this function
Configure user name and password to connect to the server
Customize the standard mail port
Is the communication encypred?
Save settings / Abort configuration work
After the mail test passed successful, click OK to apply the settings and unlock the corresponding configuration menus and
configure the mail job ....
Note:
If the access data change and are incorrect, the e-mail server will simply refuse a mail send request. The UNMS, on the other
hand, needs at least even wrong server setup data to display the according configuration menus for this tutoral job. In short, if
the UNMS does not send as desired after configuration work, youneed to check both settings, the mail server setup at "Options"
and the mail job itself.
Remember: These jobs are only executed if you have clicked Save, Exit and Start to write the active configuration!
31
Version: 2023-07-11
Setting up different mail receiver in case of a power fail
After the mail server has been configured, it is possible to start configuring the mail job itself.
For this configuration, you need to access the "Event Explorer" that can be found on the right-hand side of the administrator
console - Either at the bottom right, where you can choose between Site Explorer (lists all integrated devices) and the Event
Explorer, where the possible executable jobs are located:
When the taskbar is anchored bottom-right: The dynamic site bar at the upper-right:
The Event-Explorer
The Event Explorer provides an overview of all available events as well as pre-configured
standard jobs that are executed accordingly when one of these events occurs.
If there are jobs in subfolders, these can be directly expanded and viewed or edited by
clicking on the +.
What this tutorial is talking about:
At the UPS Events, there is a list of Events a UPS offers – it is possible to add a custom
job that will allow to do various tasks. In this case, a customized mail group shall be
informed in case of a power fail.
This task was transferred to the technical department:
There have simply been too many power cuts lately that have caused problems. The company's board of directors, in its
boundless wisdom, has therefore unanimously decided to immediately gather information when this happens again.
The quickest way to do this is to use UNMS 2, as it offers functions such as automatic mail dispatch.
Identify the correct UPS event
The predefined names are mostly self-explaining: UPS Alarm On Battery

(The UPS reports a Problem and is currently running on battery).
Click + to unfold the and take a look at the alarm events stored right
there:
- Power Fail
- Power Restored.
These two events are the alarm events you are looking for.
The next step is to create your own email addresses and set up an according job that will send an E-Mail to these reciepients –
Keep in mind that email jobs are only available if the email server has been defined in advance.
32
Version: 2023-07-11
How to add a customized mail job
First, use the right mouse button to open the context menu to this event,
and select “Properties”.
In the Event Properties, configure what exactly shall be done in case of this event is pending. Currently, the "DEFAULT" job is
executed. This must be changed…:
➔ ... describes the event and the current event status
➔ … Display Name and Priority of this event.
➔ … What shall be written to the log file if this event arise?
➔ … The job that shall be executed, and is there a time delay for it?
➔ … Filters: Are there other job execute conditions, too?
➔ … Confirm your settings / Withdraw your entries.
33
Version: 2023-07-11
UNMS distinguishes between a list of existing jobs and the

assignment of any system events. In short, the job does not have to
be created each time, but can be dynamically assigned to any number
of events afterwards. Since this job with the mail addresses does not
yet exist, select the <Edit...> input dialogue for "Run a job":
The Job Editor
This will start the job editor module that helps to define jobs.
At jobs, there is a list of all the jobs that have been created so far, whereby
DEFAULT and SYSTEM represent the preset jobs. Click edit to run the job
editor.
Creating the email job
First, click “Add”, to add a new job. Remember to choose a clear and unequivocal name for this job – if a various number of jobs
are available, it will become a little difficult and uncomfortable to find the correct job.
The function “Send E-Mail to contract” enables the mail send function for to a pre-defined mail recipient.
Now it is time to add some recipients that shall get an email. To do this, click „Edit…“ at “Send E-Mail”
34
Version: 2023-07-11
The UNMS will offer three different methods to send an email:
1. Receiver – The classic Mail recipient – Each recipient in this list will get an email.
2. Carbon Copy (CC) – The UNMS will also send a Copy, but the Receiver will see that this email is written
3. Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) – In general, the same function like CC, but the copy information is hidden to the Receiver.
Add as many mail receiver as wanted and click OK when finished. The Send E-Mail should now look like this:
Assign the the mail job to an event
Finally, you only have to ensure that the job has been
selected accordingly - otherwise you would have created the
job correctly, but UNMS would not know that it shall be
executed in this context. As already described, UNMS differs
between the job and the events so that you do not have to
create each job individually all the time. It longs out that this
event should run a specific job.
By default, the "Default" job is selected at "Run a Job". The

job you created is configured and saved, but you must now
select it so that it is activated for the Powerfail event.
To do this, simply select the job from the drop-down menu and
click OK to save the setting.
To complete your configuration …
Currently, all registered mail recipients are designed to be

informed in the event of a power failure.
Conversely, there is also an event that indicates the end of the power failure - Power Restored.
To avoid having to re-enter all the mails, simply select the mail job you created again in Power Restored:
35
Version: 2023-07-11
Never forget to save, stop and start:
The UNMS must read in the new configuration data to make it active. This is done by pressing Save, Stop
and Start again. The UNMS then loads the changes into the active configuration.
36
Version: 2023-07-11
Tutorial: Using TLS encryption
Since 2020, the constantly increasing need for security has gradually made fully encrypted communication between individual
network devices the standard for secure infrastructure networks as well. The UNMS 2 can communicate fully encrypted, offers
an automatic fallback mode for non-encrypted devices, especially for existing systems. To activate this function, first open the
UNMS options under Tools and select the "Security" tab.
Requirements:
1. The target device must be compatible with PEM files
Hopw to load a PEM file directly or whether the certificate is split into different files (this is the case with Huawei, for
example), please refer to the respective user manual.
Note: PEM File Tutorial available
For all devices of the CS141 product family, please refer to the CS141 user manual for detailed instructions on how to
create a PEM file.
Of course, you can also use this PEM file for UNMS 2 <-> CS141 / BACS / SITEMANAGER / SITEMONITOR
communication.
1. Both, UNMS and target device need to use the same PEM file
Please ensure that the same PEM file is stored on the CS141 or the same certificate on the respective end device,
otherwise the communication will not start.
2. Important: If possible, use your own company certificates, and not the default certificates
Firstly, yes, the default certificates are harmonized with each other and will work as expected. Due to this fact,
extensive testing of TLS functions with these certificates is possible. For productive use, however, we recommend
creating the own company certificates..
37
Version: 2023-07-11
TLS Security Options
Keep in mind, this is a GLOBAL stting: It is not possible to enable Force TLS on one device and configure another with "Don't
use TLS". The UNMS offers you the following options:
Don’t use TLS (unsecure communication)
This option completely dispenses with TLS. However,

this requires that the target device has explicitly
switched off the corresponding TLS options, or at least
enables communication without TLS.
Use TLS if available
In case of a heterogeneous device landscape that uses

both, encrypted and not encrypted devices, this option
provides the best compatibility:
The UNMS will first try to establish an encrypted

connection. If this is not possible, however, encryption
is automatically dispensed with for this individual
device.
Force use of TLS
The UNMS insists exclusively on encrypted

communication. If this is not possible, a connection
error is displayed.
The UNMS also rejects incoming connections unless

they are encrypted.
The Quickstart Tutorial is finished. On the following pages, you will learn how
to set up and use the full potential of your UNMS 2.

2. Architecture Overview
UNMS II is an UPS network monitor designed to inform you of emergency power supply systems problems in your network or the
customers network. The UNMS uses network (LAN) connections as default, but allows also connections through MODEM and
GSM Routers (RASMANAGER Analogue and RASMANAGER GSM, requires a Teleservice/Datacenter license) or “Push Email”.
The UNMS server service runs intermittent and checks on UPS devices you specify in a list. When problems are encountered,
the UNMS server service can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a various ways (Email, RCCMD network
message, etc. ). Actual status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web-browser (Web Console).

3. System Requirements
The UNMS II server runs under Windows Server (2003, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2), Windows VISTA Business or higher,
Windows 7 Professional or higher and Windows 8 Professional/Enterprise
The UNMS II service runs ideally onto a high performance PC. We recommend to use at least a DualCore CPU with 2 GHz and
8 GB RAM. Further we recommend to use a Windows Server OS than a Windows workstation when monitoring more than 9
devices.
Important: The installation requires administrator privileges and an installed « Microsoft “Internet Information Server (IIS) » Version 5.0 or higher (IIS
is included into every Windows distribution, but may not be installed by default. The UNMS II requires the WorldWideWeb-Service component and the IIS
Manager Snap-In only).
Web-browser configurations: If you are using the Web Console with any web-browser, then it is required, that your web-browser is supporting XML, Cookies
and JavaScript. Additionally you should allow « PopUps » from the IP address of the PC, where the UNMS II is running.

4. Microsoft IIS Installation

Any UNMS requires the installation of Microsoft Internet Information Server IIS. The Teleservice, Datacenter and OPC Versions
require additional services to install, these additional services will described later. Since every UNMS requires at least a Microsoft
IIS Server, the following chapters describe the installations for the supported Windows OS and will continue after this with the
description of the UNMS itself.
4.1 Microsoft IIS Installation on Windows XP
The support for Windows XP is discontinued after UNMS II version

5. License Regulation
UNMS II licenses are sold as individual license. A valid UNMS license defines the number of Services (IP addresses) of devices
to manage through this UNMS. Eg. If you have purchased a UNMS 50 licenses, than max. 50 Services may be managed at a
time through this UNMS. Do not install the UNMS II several times using the same license ! UNMS is available also as bundled
version, coming with UPSMAN or RCCMD software. This bundled version is limited to 9-nodes and has restricted SNMP
functionality. See Chapter 5.1 below.
You can update any UNMS II Software within 2 years free from the GENEREX website www.generex.de. Free update period ends
2 years after installation. After 2 years free updates are no longer possible and you have to purchase a new version.
5.1 UNMS II 9-User Bundling License

If you have purchased any RCCMD or UPSMAN software, than this licensekey entitles you to use the UNMS II 9-user bundling
license, fully functional system, but limited for the monitoring up to 9 devices (CS121/CS141, BACS, UPSMAN and up to 3 non
GENEREX SNMP devices). The commercial version adds features like upgrade, updates, configurable and customizable screens,
up to 5000 Services, teleservice for MODEMs, datacenter functions for large UNMS installations with reporting and VPN remote
access.
5.2 UNMS II Full Version License

The UNMS II full version is available from 5 up to 5000 objects or Services (IP addresses) and offers several modules to upgrade
your product until the highest “Datacenter” version.
Following we describe all features of a fully licensed UNMS II commercial version. If you miss features in your version than this
may be due to a lower licensed version.
If you click into the UNMS II AdminConsole the menu “Help” and “About”, you will get the information which modules are installed
and how many objects/services you can use with your license.

5.5 UNMS II Full Version License with Teleservice/Datacenter Module

The Datacenter Module is a extension for the UNMS to work as Datacenter manager. This module allows to manage offline
installations through “pushmail” (Email) and through the other connections (Teleservice MODEM, Ethernet, SNMP, OPC server).
Additionally this Datacenter module includes reporting functions and scheduling options to allow an automated monitoring and
alarm forwarding of large installations. This Module is displayed in the About UNMS infobox as “UNMS Datacenter”.
6. Getting Started with UNMS II

Although the UNMS II comes in some cases pre-configured, there are some settings you have to go through before you can start
monitoring.
Primarily you have to define, which IP addresses and devices you want to monitor and which events have to be regarded as
alarms. The UNMS II Admin Console simplifies this and other UNMS II related administrative tasks. It is described in the next
sections.
The UNMS Admin Console is launched automatically after installation has completed. To start it again later, go to the Windows
Start menu and use the Programs/UNMS/Admin Console menu.
50
Version: 2023-07-11
7. UNMS Admin Console
Attention: You need Administrator privileges for using the Admin Console !
The UNMS II is split in 2 parts, the UNMS Admin Console, for administrative purposes, and the UNMS web-interface, for remote
Web access. The Admin Console runs a Microsoft Internet Explorer embedded in a Window, called Web Console. The Web
Console view is designed through the Site Maps and its related tools Site Explorer and Event Explorer.
Generally a webbrowser is the graphical interface for all users, who are not working on the UNMS Admin Console and are
working and watching the system as it operates.
The UNMS Admin Console is for configuration of the UNMS II screens and the embedded MS Internet Explorer shows in the
Web Console page how the changes would look, if viewed with a web-browser from remote.
The UNMS Admin Console is the toolkit for the UNMS II Administrator, when doing changes on the configuration, while the
normal monitoring process is usually run through any web-browser.
7.1 Discover Services

After the UNMS II is started the first time, the Discover Services will be started automatically to help you finding Services (UPS,
BACS, SNMP cards ..) in your local network environment.
Figure 18 Discover Services
Enter the subnet address, which you want to scan, and enter the IP range (default 1 to 254). If you got additional SNMP devices
into your network environment, enable the box “Search SNMP devices” too and click the “Start Scan” button. If you already know
your IP address and do not want to use Discovery Service, cancel this service.
After the scan is finished, you can allocate the UPS or other objects found in a list and move them to their Zones/Sites with Drag-
and-drop. Use the “SHIFT” and “ARROW” keys to Drag-and-drop several objects at once.
You can choose to use the UPS modelname or the IP address as UNMS site/device name.
51
Version: 2023-07-11

Click the „Apply“ button to confirm your settings and restart the UNMS II to use your configuration changes.
After having the UNMS II successfully started, you may continue working with the UNMS II Admin Console to complete your
settings or to add Sites and Servicesmanually.

In the following part we explain the configuration options inside the UNMS Admin Console.
7.3 Sites and Services

Sites and Services are managed through the Site Explorer
Site Explorer: The Site Explorer panel is your tool to add, change Sites, add Services, and form several Sites into Groups.
Figure 21 Admin Console – Site Explorer
Definitons:
Service: A Service is any kind of IP address or hostname, which is typical an UPS or battery system controlled by a CS121/CS141
or BACS Webmanger or any other GENEREX or UNMS compatible device like third party SNMP cards. So a Service is the
managing device itself and is always member of a previously defined Site.
Example for a Service: A Service is a managed device like an UPS SNMP card. For example, a CS121/CS141, a BACS
Webmanager, a SiteMonitor, the UPSMAN Software or any RFC 1628 compliant SNMP device are defined as Services.
Site : A Site is a set of well-known Services, like UPS or IP adresses in a certain location. These locations are called “Sites”
and represent the organisational or physial location of such Services. Any alarm on any Service in this Site will change the Site
status itself. So if any of the Services in this Site has an alarm, the Site itself will display this alarm in the Site Icon.
Example for a Site: You may define the Site “UPS Customer A”. In this Site you have now e. g. 5 Services running with 5 UPS.
This Site may get its individual background and alarm reactions, if formed into a Group.
7.3.1 UNMS II Group

Group : A Group is a set of Services belonging together, like a several UPS installation in the same network or at the same
customers organisation.. A Group is defining a set of Services, which in case of alarms will be treated identically. So all devices
(UPS, batteries, etc.) will have the same reactions in case of alarms, if they belong to the same Group. Through Groups you can
define different alarm reactions, e. g. if members of the Group belong to different organisations.
Example for a Group: If in a Group defined as “UPS Group” and added to this Group all Services, which have UPS, than you
can define actions, which will apply for all devices in the Group. So an UPS alarm on any of the devices in this group will send an
email to the UPS service center in your organisation, while an alarm in the Group “Batteries” will send an email to the battery
service department in your company.
Through the Site Explorer you configure relationsships of your Services and Sites.
Get into the Site Explorer, click the desired Service button and change the Service Properties. Open the Group dropdown
menu, click on “Edit…” and add the desired group name.
53
Version: 2023-07-11
Figure 22 Service/Event Properties – Edit Group
Repeat this procedure for all Services, that you want to add to a Group. Get into the Event Explorer and add the desired Event
to this new Group. Open the accordant Event Properties of the Event, that you want to add to the new Group. Open the
dropdown menu under “Match service group”, “Edit…” and add the desired Group. This Event is valid only for this Group
exclusively.
7.4 Events and Priorities

Jobs and Event reactions in the UNMS are managed through the Event Explorer.
The UNMS shows the Sites and Services on a graphical screen as icons. Such icons display their status according to the
configured priorities. For example, if one service of the Site runs into as critical defined status while another service of this Site is
still in normal status, then the whole site will be in a critical state and displays this through this higher priorized icon.
To define which events are critical or not, you use the UNMS Admin Console tool Event Explorer.
Figure 23 Admin Console – Event Explorer
The Event Explorer panel is your tool to add, remove or change Events.
An event may be an already predefined alarm of a Service like at the alarm “ups on battery”. There are many predefined events
found in the Event Explorer for UPS (Uninteruptible Power Supplies), ATS (Automatic Transfer Switches), BACS (Battery Analyse

Tutorial: How to add a different email address to an event
Before you start- UNMS 2 preparations to unlock the options for creating mail jobs.
This job can only be configured if the UNMS has been informed in advance of a mail server over which the mail traffic is allowed
to run. If the UNMS 2 mail option is not configured accordingly, the configuration menu for this job is not accessible - they
depend on each other. Therefore, it is recommended to first have a look at the UNMS 2 mail setting.
Note:
The UNMS 2 works with a temporary configuration and can simultaneously hold the data changed from inside - therefore the
system can run in the background with the current configuration, however, to save your changes you must first save and then
restart the UNMS 2.
66
Version: 2023-07-11
Due to this fact, the changes do not take effect until you save, exit, and restart. "Just saving" will not activate the changes you
make.
Configure / Check mail settings
First, open the options menu for the mail settings: To find this menu in the upper
tab, click on tools and open the UNMS Options ...
The configuration dialog will provide the main tab for mail settings:
After validating the mail server access data, click OK to apply the settings and close the configuration dialog.
Note:
As a consequence of wrong credentials, the mail server will reject mails initiated by the UNMS 2 - The UNMS 2, on the other
hand, only requires the valid input of mail data in order to unlock the job configuration menus. If it is not possible to send an
email after configuration work, you need to check both: The job configuration as well as the mail configuration.
If everything is configurated correctly: Have you pressed save, stop and restart?
67
Version: 2023-07-11
Setting up a deviating mail address
The e-mail address will be configured as a job inside the so-called Event Explorer. Depending on the setting, this Explorer can
be found either as a side-scrolling menu in the upper right area or as a fixed main tab in the lower right area of the Administrator
Console:
The Event-Explorer
The Event Explorer provides a general overview about all available events as well as
preconfigured standard jobs that are executed accordingly.
In case of sub folders, they can be unfolded by clicking on the small +.
What this tutorial describes:
If a UPS event is active, an e-mail should be sent to a different e-mail address than the
standard mail notifications.
The UPS events can be found in the appropriate folder and subfolders, labeled as "UPS
Events".
The task that was transferred to the technique department:
There have just been too many power outages lately that were causing problems. The
Board of the company, in its boundless wisdom, has therefore unanimously decided to seek immediate information when this
happens again.
The fastest way to do this is to use UNMS 2. The UNMS 2 provides functions to send such an e-mail automatically.
68
Version: 2023-07-11
How to find the correct UPS Alarm
Press + to expand the UPS Event folder and take a look at the list of the
existing UPS alarms:
Search for upsAlarmOnBattery and click on +. You will find two events:
- Power Fail
- Power restored.
These two events are similar to the corresponding operating states of the
UPS.
How to add a customized mail job
First open the context menu
of the Powerfail event by clicking with the right mouse button. Select the menu
item Properties.
The Event Properties provide the configuration dialog to configure what will be done if this event is active:
69
Version: 2023-07-11
To customize the e-mail address, open the drop-down menu at

Run a Job and select <edit ...>.
With edit, a new configuration dialog for the according job will be
opened:
First add a new job. Do not forget to rename it – if you have many jobs and need to change them, it may be difficult to find them.
70
Version: 2023-07-11
Enable Send E-Mail to contract to activate the mail function for this job:
With the next configuration step, UNMS 2 wants to know the mail addresses of the recipients.
At Send E-Mail, click on edit to open the mail configuration dialog:
The UNMS 2 provides up to three different methods for sending e-mails:

4. Receiver – The classic mail receiver
5. Carbon Copy (CC) – The Receiver (to) will see that the UNMS send a copy to another recipient.
6. Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) – This is a blind copy, which means, neither the Receiver nor the Carbon Copy Receiver
will see that the UNMS 2 will send a copy to this mail recipient.
Feel free to enter as many email addresses as you need. Click OK to save your mail addresses. The UNMS 2 will add these
mail addresses to the job configuration:
Finally, make sure that your newly created job has been selected correctly - otherwise this job has been created successfully,
but the UNMS 2 will not handle the new job as expected.
71
Version: 2023-07-11
The UNMS 2 differs between jobs and events to provide re-using jobs for
different events. This will allow an administrator to optimize the
number jobs by selecting them at Run a job…
As a default setting, „Run a Job“shows the default job – the

new custom mail job is configured and saved, but not yet selected for
the event Powerfail.
To select the job, open the according drop-down menu and navigate to
your new custom mail job.
With clicking OK, the UNMS 2 will save your settings.
72
Version: 2023-07-11
For the sake of completeness…
Currently, all registered mail recipients would receive a warning, but no main power restored message. therefore it is advisable
to place the same mail job at the so-called counter event.
Due to the fact the UNMS 2 separates all jobs and events, the job is selectable for the according counter event.:
Do not forget to activate the configuration:
to make your changes active the UNMS needs to take over the new configuration files. To do this, just
press save, stop and start

9.3 UNMS Options – Email Traps

The Email Trap feature provides the transfer of the device data via POP protocol to the UNMS II service. You can configure the
connection type, like the other ones (UPSTCP, SNMP, RAS), into the AdminConsole. This function is available into the Data
Center/TeleService Edition (optional software extension for the UNMS II) only.
This agent can assimilate incoming data (incoming email traffic) only in contrast to the other agents, but might be the optimal
fitting for relevant o security customers and remote monitoring.
For the usage of the Email Traps are the following conditions required:
• Email box/user is an email account for all devices, which will be monitored via Email Trap
• Email transfer protocol: POP
• Email data type: JSON data as attachment must be accredited
• Configuration mail server: Global email configuration must be equipped (see chapter 9.2)
• Configuration email client: As connection type per device into the UNMS II. The settings will be described as
follows:

The interval of the “UNMS II Heartbeat” will be defined at the CS121/CS141. The “UNMS II Heartbeat” is a regularly sent email,
which transfers the status of the device. If the email will not be received, the UNMS II will trigger a warning. If no alarms will occur,
the UNMS II heartbeat email will send the latest measuring values regularly.
Every grafical UPS/device screen contains a timestamp, which displays the last incoming Email Trap or UNMS II Heartbeat.
Figure 56 UNMS Options – Email Traps – Screen with timestamp
Every alarm triggers beside the regular UNMS II Heartbeat a further one, which will be sent immediately. This means, that the
display is always up to date at alarm states, but will be updated in normal operation just in higher intervals (see timestamp).
Advice: A direct connection via web-browser, like at networks, is not possible, this button is not at present into this display.
If you want to log the measuring values, it is required to enable the datalog function into the UNMS II (see chapter 7.6).
9.4 UNMS Options – Users

Note on groups: The users group defines the access level as follows:
• Administrators: Full access to all UNMS capabilities.
• Operators: Full access from Web-Console, but no access to Administrator Console.
• Users: Read-only access from Web Console
In UNMS Options -> Users you may set an automatic Logout. After that time the user has to reenter the password. Please be
aware that the operation will only work correctly with a web browser. In the administration console you may configure still devices
and events after logout.
9.4.1 UNMS Options – Secure Settings
Advice: The Secure settings function and the following menu are available with the TeleService Modul only.
The Administrator can control or rather allocate the access authorization of the Sites to groups via Secure settings. The sub
sites inherit the authorization of the Site automatically. You can see in the following example, that a group „Hamburg“ was created,
which should be authorized for the group members Hamburg and Administrators.
Figure 58 UNMS Options – Users – Secure Settings
Thereby it is secured, that the group Hamburg (and Administrators) get access to the Site Hamburg and its sub-sites “Nord” and
“Süd” only. The other Sites BACS, CS121/CS141, Email Traps, Facility Management and Foreign Devices, as you can see in the
above example, are not apparent for the group Hamburg.

10. Configuration Backup and Restore/Software Update

To allow UNMS updates and for not to loose your configurations we strongly recommend to save a UNMS backup file whenever
you make changes. With this backup file you may at anytime remove and reinstall or update your UNMS software and load the
configuration later afterwards again.
In the “UNMS Administrator” Program open the “File” menu and choose the “Backup…” item to open the “Backup files” Dialog.
In the field for “Backup to” enter a Name for your Backup (In this example we used “newBackup”).
Click the <Backup> button to save a backup of the configuration under this name.
Figure 62 UNMS Backup – Backup files

In the “UNMS Administrator” Program open the “File” menu and choose the “Restore…” item to open the “Restore files”
Dialog.
Select the name of the Backup that you to restore from the list of available Backups (In this example we used “new Backup”). Click
the <Restore> button to restore the selected backup of the configuration.
The following message request your confirmation to use the backup as the current configuration. Click the <Yes> button to restore
the configuration from above.
Please note that you must restart the UNMS before this configuration changes (the backup) take place.
Figure 63 UNMS Restore – Restore files

If you want to update the UNMS II version, it is required to deinstall the old version, install the current UNMS II version and to use the
„Restore“ function for the usage of the desired configuration.
11. UNMS Redundancy Configuration

The UNMS redundancy configuration is an optional feature of the UNMS and requires and additional license upgrade. If you do not use the
Redundancy UNMS Version, you may skip this chapter and continue with the following Chapter 12. UNMS redundany is useful if you should
have devices/sites which are working in a redundant mode, eg. a 2 UPS which are having their own SNMP or CS121/CS141/BACS
manager, but working in parallel and redundant. If one of these 2 UPS would stop working, running on battery, etc. (any EVENT is possible)
you may not want to execute shutdowns or major alarms. In such a situation it may be useful to define that only minor alarms / jobs are
started if the other UPS is still running fine. For such a configuration you may use the Redundancy configuration described in the following
chapter.
Open the Redundancy configuration via “Tools” into the Administrator Console. The configured services/devices in your UNMS will
appear in a list box.
82
Version: 2023-07-11
Figure 64 UNMS Redundancy Configuration

Mark a service and click the „Configure service...“ button to get into the Service redundancy configuration.
Choose now the Services in your configuration where you have a parallel redundancy situation and move these to the windows “Services
selected for the Redundancy Group” and choose the redundancy level.
Click on “Configure redundant service” to configure the Events on these devices that may have an effect on the system they are backing
up. Typical risks are overload situations on a single Service which would not be seen as long as the system runs in parallel and the load is
distributed between the other UPS in the group. But if one or more Redundancy Group members should fail, than it could be possible than
ALL the load has to be burdened by the remaining UPS – which could be too much. To avoid this situation you may want to configure an
“redundancy lost alarm” in case the load in the group would exceed that amount a single device could supply.
For this setup you have to define the redundancy level of this Redundancy Group.
In the following we describe as an example the configuration for a setup of 2 UPS which are in parallel and redundant. In case one of the 2
UPS load increases more than 50% and overload condition could make also the second UPS fail. To avoid this situation is may be important
to watch the load on both UPS and trigger an alarm if the load should increase on one of the 2 of more then 50%.
Since there are just 2 UPS in the Redundancy Group, the redundancy level can be only “1”. One of the 2 UPS may fail and the remaining
one is capable to supply the load. (“0” would mean “no redundancy” – this would be identical as if you configure a single Service, no
redundancy at all).
By choosing 2 UPS as the Redundancy Group the redundancy lost alarm threshold is automatically set to 50% on each. If you choose 3,
the UNMS automatically lowers the level to 33.33% of the redundancy level is 1. At a higher redundancy level the load level would
automatically increase. So, the automatic alarm threshold load parameter is set be the UNMS through the number of Services in the
Redundancy Group and the redundancy level.
All events will appear into the left section as Available events, which have been previously configured into the Event Explorer or are default.
Alike the example with individual Service LOAD you may configure other Events. Enter the true power of the UPS into „Nominal Ouput
Power (in kVA) “. Therefore, the UNMS II is able to calculate by itself, if a shutdown is really required, in case the load is increasing. The
more parallel redundant systems you define, the more the load value for a single device will decrease. E.g. if you have 3 UPS in parallel
redundancy, than the load per single UPS would be 33.33%, etc.
Figure 65 UNMS Redundancy Configuration – Redundant Service Configuration

In the EVENTs you will find now new events, the Redundancy Events. The following special Redundancy Events events are available:
• grpOnBattery – The redundancy is lost, both UPSs are actually running on battery.
• grpAutonomy20Min – The redundancy is lost. The UPS in the redundancy Group with the lowest autonomy time is the one
that determines if this event is TRUE. If during a battery operation any of redundancy Group members are reading an
autonomy time of less than 20 minutes, the defined job will be executed.
83
Version: 2023-07-11
• grpRedundancyLost – The redundancy is lost. This is a warning and should tell you that actually the load of the redundant
system is too high for the configured redundancy level. If in this situation one of the group members would fail, the remaining
Services could be in an overload situation. This event is designed to warn the user of such a situation.
• grpRedundancy05Pc – The redundancy is lost. This job will be executed, if the overall load is more than 95% on every single
phase. Only 5% load reserve is avaiblabe now. This is an option for a a « Pre-Warning » of the above described
« grpRedundancyLost » event.

11.1 Example Shutdown of a computer with redundancy

A powerfail, which will trigger a RCCMD shutdown signal to a remote client in a redundant group
consisting of two UPS, will be desribed in the following example. This shutdown will only be sent, when
both UPS are in battery mode. After both device are registered and configured in the redundancy
configuration (see chapter 11), a new event has to be made in the folder ‚Redundancy Events.
Choose ‚grpAlarmOnBattery‘, a display-name, a high event priority and if required a delay for the
event. Now create a RCCMD job, by choosing <Edit…> in the drop-down menu ‚Run a job‘, here
choose a name for the job and set the the IP address of the receiver for the RCCMD shutdown.

13. UNMS Configuration of RASMANAGER

Development and support of the RASMANAGER were completely discontinued. Due to this fact this chapter describes
functions that affect older versions of the program. Please note, the RASMANAGER is not compatible to Windows
VISTA and subsequent operating systems.
The UNMS RASMANAGER configuration is for the use of RASMAN_A – analogue Modem Dial-in/Dial-Out and requires a
« Teleservice » license. If you do not use the RASMAN_A , you may skip this chapter and continue with the following Chapter 13.
To work with RASMANAGER you have to purchase the « UNMS TELESERVICE MODULE » as license upgrade for your existing
UNMS license. Please note, that any UNMS optional module is only working with commercial versions of the UNMS, not with any
free UNMS license.
To integrate RASMANAGER devices in the UNMS monitoring, you have to setup the RASMANAGER first. How to setup a
RASMANAGER is described in the CS121/CS141 user manual, following an abstract of this manual.
You may skip this chapter, if your RASMANGER has been already installed.
The configuration of RASMANAGER / UNMS is found in the menu under « Configuration ».
86
Version: 2023-07-11
Figure 71 UNMS RAS Configuration
Please note, that this function requires a RASMANAGER license key which is optional for CS121/CS141 and BACS systems (only
included per default in a RASMANAGER).
Configure/Select the accordant UPS model in your RASMANGER and define the parameter of the LAN interface for the connection
at the customers network.
The usage of the LAN interface is optional and is not required for the modem connection. If no customers network is present, you
can accomplish the following settings from a notebook via cross-cable. Assign the IP address 10.10.10.11 for your notebook.
For setting up a CS121/CS141 or BACS system, please refer to the user manual of these devices. We describe here only
the RASMANAGER related parts.
For the configuration of the connection settings of the modem operation, please get into the „RAS Configuration“ menu.
13.1 RAS Client Settings
Figure 72 RAS Manager Settings 1
At first enable the „RAS Client“ (1). The client is the module, which will establish the connection to the UNMS II workstation.
Enter the number of the modem (2) of the UNMS II with Teleservice Module. Please note, that in some telephone system a prefix
number (e.g. 0) is may be required to get an outside line.
Enter the IP address of the RAS server for incoming calls from the UNMS. This IP adress will be active the moment a UNMS dials
into the RASMANGER. It will be a different IP adress than the one this device would have if running in your LAN. This IP adress
has to accessible from the UNMS via MODEM and therefore has to be configured also on the UNMS side as „Destination Address“
(3). This address will be defined later into the UNMS Teleservice Module and should be set to ALL RASManagers monitored by
this UNMS.
It is required to set a „Username“ (4), which has to be different for every single RASManger (e.g. UPS1, UPS2 etc.). The Password
(5) may be identical, but the username MUST be different and later configured in the UNMS Teleservice Module.
87
Version: 2023-07-11
Figure 73 RAS Manager Settings 2
Enable the „RAS Server“ (1). The server receives incoming calls from the UNMS II workstation. If you do not want to allow that
UNMS dials in (only dial out for alarms), you may deactivate the server. In this case the RAS server will trigger alarms to the
UNMS II workstation only, but UNMS can not dial back to check the actual situation.
It is required to enter a „Server IP Address“ (2) at the different RASManagers to be able to differentiate the connections (e.g.
UPS1 = 192.168.10.11, UPS2 = 192.168.10.12 etc.).
You can use the same „Password“ (4) for all RASManagers.
To finish the RAS configuration successful, it is required to set the „COM2 Mode“ to „RAS“ into the „COM2 & AUX“ menu. You
can use the default values for the baud rate and the parity.
Figure 74 COM2 Settings – RAS
13.2 Configuration of the Events for Modem “Dial-Out”

The operator can define via „Event Configuration“, for which alarm a message should be triggered to the UNMS II workstation.
To trigger a UNMS dialout message at an overload, it is required to select the function „Send RAS Notification“ (1) into the event
„Overload“.
Figure 75 Job Editor
You can enter any text into the window „Message“ (2). In this example this text will be transferred to the UNMS only if the event
« Overload » is active for more than 60 seconds.
To finish the configuration of the RASManager, it is required to save your settings via the menu „Save Configuration“, „Save, Exit
& Reboot“. After the RASManager has rebooted (status LED is flashing green), put the DIP-Switch into the position „On“ to
integrate it now into your network and to leave the configuration mode and reboot it again. (Unplug the power supply for about 3
88
Version: 2023-07-11
seconds. ) After the RASMANAGER has rebooted you see a green flashing LED and you can continue now to configure your
UNMS TELESERVICE settings.
13.3 Configuration of the UNMS II Workstation for incoming Dial Connections (Windows XP,
SP2)
!!! The support for Windows XP was dropped since UNMS II version 2.0.12 !!!
If your UNMS runs on a Windows XP, some settings have to be made on the XP system to make RAS service available.

Now it is required to enter the IP addresses, which will be assigned from the server during the dial-in. Enter the „Destination
Address“ as starting address, e.g. 192.168.199.1 (1).
If you have set only one modem for dial-ins, it is enough to set an address range till 192.168.199.2 (2), but it is possible to set a
wider range (192.168.199.30). In this case, it would be possible, if you are using several modems, to receive 30 connections at
the same time.

14. UNMS – Web Console

A UNMS is mainly monitored from remote by using a Webbrowser. A Webbrowser is described in this manual as a Web Console. The
Webconsole shows the actual status information, historical logs and all reports can be accessed and inspected. This allows you to access
your management information from different computers of different customers or facilities in your network. By using multiple Web Consoles,
you can encourages sharing of management information by many people.
You can login from any workstation that is running TCP/IP and is connected to your network (e.g. over the Internet, DSL, leased line, LAN,
VPN, etc.).
The Web Console has the following requirements:
• You must enable JavaScript in your browser.
• Your browser must support the XML standard.
• You should allow Cookies from the UNMS server system.
• You should allow Popup Windows from the UNMS server.
• The Web Console will operate best with recent versions of the Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Mozilla
Firefox browsers.
Using your Web browser from any system, enter the address for the UNMS start page as follows: ”http://a.b.c.d/unms” where a.b.c.d is
the IP address or DNS name of your UNMS server system. The Web Console will be executed inside your Web browser.
