1. The CS121 Family - Introduction
1.1 About your CS121
1.1.1 General Information
The CS121-series are a group of products designed especially for critical resource
management within technical facilities. All of these products share many of the same basic
CS121 features, and some have special components and functions.
The CS121 products are most commonly used for the management of UPS systems, get UPS
data via SNMP and display all available data and failures. These information will be forwarded
to desired clients. In addition a shutdown of these clients could be executed via our RCCMD
Multi-Server Shutdown Software.
This user manual describes the main function of the CS121 and the function of additional
components.
The construction and the configuration of the CS121 devices are universal. The adaption has
to be fit in different UPS devices from worldwide located manufacturers. This user manual
cannot show all alternatives. Different screenshots and described details have to be
interpreted correspondingly.

1.4 Functional Overview of the CS121

The CS121 is working with an integrated Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
forwards Trap Messages to desired receivers. This Trap Messages inform the user about
critical situations of the UPS, e. g. a power failure. In addition the CS121 can trigger RCCMD
(Remote Console Command) signals, messages, shutdowns.
RCCMD is an additional single licensed software.
Otherwise the control of the UPS is possible, e. g. switching on bypass.

1.4.1 Functionalities of your CS121

SNMP Adapter CS121/CS121 Slot: The SNMP adapter is a compact unit requiring minimal
workspace (ca. 28x69x126 mm for the external adapter CS121L). The slot card versions of the
adapter get inserted into the extension slots of UPS models supporting such a card type.
Serial Port: Two DIP-switches change the adapter's serial port (COM2) to a configuration
port for installation or to a communication port for environmental sensors, modem or other
functions. The MODBUS-version uses the COM2 as RS485 interface and is not available for
configuration. The MODBUS version can be configured via web-browser only, Telnet and
default IP address.
SNMP-Traps for remote monitoring and pre-alarming: The main function of the SNMP-
adapter is the transmission of alarm conditions of the UPS to the monitoring station (SNMP
traps and RCCMD traps/commands). It also makes UPS data for users in the network upon
request available. With this function, it is possible to retrieve and monitor e. g. battery capacity
of an UPS from a SNMP management station. The event settings configuration menu also
allows for SNMP trap testing.
Remote Control: With this function it is possible to switch the UPS to Bypass (depending on
the model) or start battery tests. This remote command is executed either via the Network
Management Station or the UPS Management Software or any web-browser.
Telnet: Every Adapter can be reconfigured via the network, using Telnet or HTTP after the
initial configuration of an IP address for the adapter. Current UPS data can also be shown
using Telnet. Generally we recommend to use the web-interface, since Telnet (and terminal
configuration) allows to setup a basic configuration of the CS121 only.
Works with all major NMS: The CS121 works with most, widely used Network
Management Systems, e. g. HP Open View HP UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT, Novell NMS,
Spectrum, Sun NetManager, IBM Net View/600 and others. All SNMP systems, which either
allow the compilation of the MIB or already incorporate MIB RFC 1628 for UPS Systems, can
be used with the CS121.
Multiserver shutdown via RCCMD/RCCMD2 compatibility: The CS121 is able to initiate a
network shutdown with any RCCMD modules from the UPS-Management Software CD. A
TCP/IP based RCCMD signal will be send to all RCCMD clients in the network. This enables
the remote shutdown of practically an unlimited number of client computers, independent of
the operating systems of the clients. RCCMD is an optional part of the UPS-Management
Software. Your UPS dealer is able to provide you with license keys for the RCCMD Software.
The UPSMAN service of the UPS-Management Software Suite is an optional module and not
required for that basic CS121 operations. We recommend to use the UPSMAN service only, if
10
the UPS is connected via serial or USB cable, if a CS121 is connected, you just need a web-
browser for the monitoring.
RS232 UPS Protocol Router Pipe- through: The CS121 (not BUDGET versions) is able
to transfer the UPS RS232 protocol on COM1 directly to COM2. This allows the use of
additional monitoring software on COM2, while making extra hardware (RS232 Multiplexer) to
multiply the UPS comport unnecessary.
Log File: The CS121 got an internal log file synchronized with either a timeserver in your
network or from Internet timeservers. This log file can be accessed by web-browser,
UPSMON, JAVAMON or via FTP. The size of the log file is 250 lines, older entries will be
overwritten automatically.
Network Settings: The CS121 models are adjustable to the network environment. An auto-
sensing function, 10Mbit or 100Mbit can be selected.
Email Client: The CS121 adapters incorporate a built-in SMTP email client, which is able to
send emails automatically, if an error occurs.
Web-Server: The CS121 models possess a web-server, which displays all functions and
settings of the adapter. Non-Windows users may use the UPSView as graphically display for
UPS data.
Network Connection: The below figure displays a CS121 into a network environment. The
CS121 is communicating with the UPS and displays all available data.
Figure 1: CS121 into a Network Environment
1.5 The Communication with the CS121-Adapter

MODBUS
Modbus is the de facto standard protocol in industry, which is used in the facility management.
All CS121 types include an MODBUS over IP interface and MODBUS over RS232. The CS121
MODBUS device types possess a RS485 interface at COM2.
SNMP
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the Internet standard protocol for
managing devices on IP networks and is defined and standardized in Requests for Comments
(RFCs) specifications. Generally UPS systems are using the Management Information Base
(MIB) with the RFC1628 specification, which defines UPS specific devices.
The CS121 also comes with the standard MIB RFC1628. Because of this MIB is already part
of most SNMP software products, it is not required to compile the MIB (please search the MIB2
11
- nt to include your CS121 to a SNMP-Management
station, which does not have the standard MIB RFC1628, you can download the specific MIB
from our website http://www.generex.de/e/download/cs12x/download_p.html. Copy the MIB file
to the appropriate MIB-directory of your SNMP-station and compile this file. In most cases your
SNMP already has implemented this MIB and a compilation is only necessary, if you want to
read extra information than just UPS (e.g. for SENSORMANAGER, etc.).
UPSTCP
The most common way to communicate with the CS121 is over TCP. The CS121 contains
UPSTCP, which gives you a complete interface to integrate the adapter into your network. If
you are a software manufacturer, please contact us directly for the specification of this
interface, if you want to implement it by your own. All others use TCP for the access via web -
interface (UPSView, UNMS II) or SNMP or MODBUS.
1.6 CS121 Overview of the Connections and LEDs

UPS.
cable. Please consult your UPS dealer for further information regarding special
cables.
7) Power supply, the external CS121 got an external power supply (9 12VDC)
Note: If you are using a different power supply unit from the one in the adapter
package, please consider that the polarity is set correctly. The adapter
might be damaged if the wrong polarity is used. The power supply
voltage should be at least 9V, 12 V is recommended.
For the CS121SC models C and the slot card, there are no power supply
units. These units will receive power directly from the UPS device. The
SNMP adapter C and slot card both incorporate a variable 9-36V input.
2. Quickstart
This quickstart describes the basic functions and settings of the CS121. The CS121 can be
configured via Telnet, Terminal and HTTP. The Telnet configuration uses the same network
interface as the HTTP configuration. The Terminal configuration requires a serial connection to
a workstation.
We recommend the configuration via HTTP, because it is the most comfortable one and that is
why we describe the HTTP configuration in this user manual.
After you finished the CS121 hardware setup, all 3 configuration modes are at present. If you
want to use the Telnet or HTTP configuration, it is required to add a temporary network route
to the CS121 configuration mode IP address 10.10.10.10.
Please use the following access data:
User: admin
Password: cs121-snmp
3. Initial Operation of the CS121

3.1 Connect your CS121 ...
In generally you can select between 3 ways to configure the CS121:
You can execute the HTTP configuration via web-browser.
You can execute the Terminal configuration via web-browser.
You can execute a Terminal configuration via the serial interface (CS121 device types with a
COM2 port only) with the CS121 configuration cable (optional, not included). This
configuration-mode allows you to make the basic settings for the network connectivity and for
the configuration of the event and alarm settings.
3.1.1 ... via LAN
Connect the CS121 with RJ45 cable (not included) to your LAN.
14
3.1.2 ... via serial port
The CS121 contains two serial ports (not BL and BSC-versions), COM1 provides the connection to the
UPS and COM2 is used for the configuration of the SNMP adapter.
Configuration cable (not included):

With the configuration cable you could connect the serial port (COM2) of the CS121 and the serial port
of a workstation with terminal software. It is sufficient to use a Dumb-Terminal or Terminal emulation
program, such as e. g. Microsoft-HyperTerminal. please ensure during the configuration of the CS121,
that the DIP switches are into position OFF.
CS121 MINI/CS121 R_II:

It is required, that the DIP Switch 2 remains in position OFF, otherwise the device will not start (valid
for CS121Minislot/CS121R_II built 2008- 2010 from serial number 0123M-0001 to 0123M-1135).
3.2 Verifying the CS121 Connectivity
After the CS121 is connected to the UPS and to the workstation via serial port or via LAN, please verify
the connectivity before you start to configure the CS121. The setup system can be checked before and
after a configuration using the following 3 steps:
UPS Status Displays (LEDs)
During the boot procedure, the red LED is on, whereas the green LED is off, please take a look into
chapter 1.6 for the complete signaling.
After five to ten seconds after the boot-process, the green LED flashes rapidly; this indicates that the
SNMP-adapter is trying to start the communication. The adapter will indicate its communication
accessibility with random green LED flashes.
Network status LEDs
The LEDs, integrated into the LAN-Connector (RJ45-), will signal a connection to the network with
green and with yellow network connectivity.
CS121 Ping Echo
Perform a PING command from the SNMP station or from another workstation in your network.
If you do not get a response, check the CS121 network connection and IP address. The IP address of
the adapter is set to 10.10.10.10, if DIP Switch 1 is in position OFF (configuration mode).
Note: The different response rates during the ping process do not correspond
to an error. The CS121 does not answer every ping signal at the same
time, due to different sized UPS protocols. If UPS protocols are of
extensive size a temporary timeout can occur. A permanent timeout
however is an error.
3.3 Setup of the Basic Network Configuration
Note: We recommend the following settings for the operation of the CS121 via
cross cable (Ethernet cable for the connection directly). Set the IP address of the workstation
with a cross cable to an IP address of the same network segment, e.g. 10.10.10.11 AND set
the gateway to 10.10.10.10.
15
A network cross cable is a PC-PC network cable, which does not require a switch or a hub
between 2 network workstations (2). Most modern workstation network cards have an auto
detection, so any network cable may be used. Only if you do not have such a cable, connect a
switch or Hub between your workstation and the CS121 (1).
Figure 4: Connection PC-Switch/Hub and CS121 (2) Connection PC-Cross Cable/Network

Cable and CS121
3.3.1 DHCP Obtain an IP address automatically

By default DHCP is off at all CS121. From CS121 FirmWare Version 4.25.x you can switch on
DHCP via DIP switch 2 manually. Therefore the CS121 will get a DHCP IP address from the
DHCP server during reboot. Prior of that, you should detect the MAC address of the CS121 to
be able to find the IP address on your DHCP server. You can also use the GENEREX
Netfinder tool (http://www.generex.de/generex/download/software/install/NetFinder.zip). This
tool searches all CS121/BACS devices into your network environment. We recommend to use
static IP addresses, because the CS121 is used for multi server shutdowns via RCCMD too
and it might be, that the DHCP server got a breakdown. For that reason the delivery state of
the CS121 is always with DHCP OFF!
Note: The function DHCP ON/OFF is valid for the following models only: all
CS121 HW 131 and all BACS II Webmanager Budget (not valid for all
CS121 HW 121, SieteManager, SiteMonitor, MiniSlot and Piller I/O
Board)!
3.3.2 Establishment of a static CS121 IP address manually (default delivery state)
The minimum requirement to operate the SNMP-adapter is to set the IP address, subnet mask

The DIP-switches of the SNMP-adapter firstly need to be set for the configuration. DIP-
switch 1 is switched OFF in the top position as well as DIP switch 2 is switched OFF.
Note: For slot versions you have to insert and remove the device for any
reboot-process. This will not have any effect on your UPS but we
recommend doing such operations only when the UPS is not supplying
any load!

Figure 10: Telnet - UPS Settings
The CS121-adapter distinguishes here generally between Cable- and Serial-models. With
Cable, the adapter and the contact interface of the UPS are connected with a special cable.
Using Serial, UPS models connect to the adapter via the serial UPS-cable. (Part of the UPS
package). Serial is default, when the user selects a UPS model name from the drop-down list.
When Cable is used, please search the list for the corresponding UPS model and cable type.
The CS-121 supports serial models with its own RS-232 protocol as well as contact UPS
models with the cable types O,C,1-10. Those contact cables are UPS or alarm system specific
and should be provided by the corresponding manufacturer. Our Cable documentation shows
examples of those cables if they are individually made cables.
Please choose the corresponding serial UPS model or cable model communication
parameters. Parameters like baud rate etc. are present for the corresponding UPS model.
Note: By selecting the UPS model, the communication protocol is selected at

the same time. If your UPS does not appear in the list, ask your UPS
dealer if another model from the same series can be substituted.
Select Option 1 to get a variety of possible UPS models. After chosen a model, the default
values of the corresponding UPS model can be configured by typing the number of the option
followed by the value.
Note: Please do not change parameters except of UPS-model unless you want
to choose specified configuration according your UPS-model!

The shutdown time interval needs to be set large enough, so that adequate time for a system
shutdown is allocated before the UPS runs out of power. Please calculate this value
generously e.g. if the battery time of the UPS is 10 minutes and the event procedure takes 2,5
minutes, ensure you start (configure) the shutdown (or other event action) 3 minutes before the
UPS is switched off, so that more than enough time is available to complete the corresponding
event action.

ATTENTION: Keep the Telnet, Terminal, web-browser window open until the device has been
lost or you see a message that reboot is under progress. If you close the configuration window
too early it may corrupt the upsman.cfg configuration file.
Note: Various options and settings for UPS-configuration can be done under
Telnet or HyperTerminal, e.g. setting access controls of the SNMP-
communities, set traps, set display settings, etc. However, the
configuration via web-browser offers a much more convenient way to
configure the CS121. If you have any possibility we recommend you to
use this way.
3.4 CS121 Restart and Boot Procedure
After you have finished the basic IP- and network-settings you should set DIP-switch 1 in
position ON and restart the adapter with your configurations.
You can perform a CS121 restart by unplugging the power supply of the CS121 and wait, until
the CS121 has restarted with your configurations.
Alternatively you can restart the CS121 - -
menu of the web-browser. The following message will displayed:

4. Configuration of the CS121
Note: After you have finished the basic network configuration you should have
set DIP-switch 1 in position ON and rebooted the adapter. At the SC slot
cards you have to remove the card from its slot and change the DIP
Switch 1 to position ON. After this, re-insert the card. Info: There is no
risk to remove/insert the slot card, there will be no effect on the UPS
output.

This menu configures the CS121 network card settings, passwords and enable/disables
several adapter and network services.
Note: We recommend to set the Network Card Speed NOT

rather to the accordant speed of your switch. In addition we
recommend to open the TCP/IP and UDP ports only, that the CS121
is using. Please take a look into the chapter Appendix D. To
stabilize the CS121 in larger networks we recommend to close the
update TCP Port 4000 at the CS121 configuration or at your switch.
Please note, that you are not able to update the CS121 firmware
anymore if port 4000 is disabled. Enable the port 4000 again, if you
want to update the firmware.
The CS121 firmware version 4.30.x provides the definition of the TCP MSS value. The
Maximum Segment Size defines the amount of bytes, which will be send as reference data into
a TCP segment. The default is 1460. If you got problems with a VPN connection, change the
TCP MSS value to 1100. The TCP MSS value is valid for HTTP only!
Enable RCCMD Listener: Among others, here you can allow the CS121 to act as an RCCMD
listener client. This makes it possible for another UPSMAN-Manager, CS121, SITEMANAGER
or other RCCMD compatible sender to send the adapter an RCCMD command like sending
one of the AUX output ports a high or low signal or to start other actions.
You can also set the MODBUS configurations in this menu. The configuration requires only the
following entries:
Enable Modbus over IP: Every CS121 model can also transfer UPS data via the MODBUS-
protocol on IP (port 502). You may use any MODBUS client to read the UPS value from
CS121. For using the RS485 interface, you must use a CS121MODBUS (special hardware) in
other cases you have to use MODBUS-over IP. This is enabled by default, you may disable
this feature via Telnet or HTML-configuration.
Modbus Slave Address: Enter the corresponding number, meaning which number in the
chain (bus) the adapter is.
Modbus Mode: RTU (binary mode) or ASCII mode text output. Please select the type with
the scroll down menu.
Note: ASCII Mode works at CS131 & CS121 platforms with communcation
parameters 7/E/2, or 7/E/1 or with 7/N/2 from baudrate 1200 to 38400. We recommend for
ASCII the use of 7/N/2 and the highest baudrate supported by your device.
RTU Mode works at CS131 & CS121 platforms with communcation parameters 8/E/1 or
8/N/2 or 8/N/1 or 8/E/2 or 8/O/2 or with 8/O/1 from baudrate 1200 to 38400. We recommend
for RTU the use of 8/E/1 and the highest baudrate supported by your device.
Change Administrator Password: The password protects against unauthorized usage and
manipulation. The default password is "cs121-snmp". In case you have "forgotten" your
password a master password can be generated using your adapter serial number. Please
contact your manufacturer for more information.
Change UPSMON & SS4 Password: This is a separate password -snmp)
and allows to open UPS FUNCTIONS and SS4 FUNCTIONS only to specific users. With this
password, which is valid for the TCP/IP connection to the UPSMON too, the user may switch
on/off the UPS, start battery tests, switch SITESWITCH 4 outputs, but can not change any
other setting on the CS121 configuration. Exception: If the administrator password (default
identic) was not changed. The UPSMON is a Windows client, which is able to connect via
network to the CS121. The UPSMON and SS4 password is used as protection. Advice: For the
activation of the new password (apply button), it is required to reboot the CS121 via the ,

Fallback address: If the DHCP server will not be available, just reboot the CS121 to use the
fallback address. This address is equivalent to the settings of the local address in the menu
121 to
use the DHCP address.
4.2.5 The CS121 with ICMP Check
From the firmware version 4.26.x the CS121 is able to answer and send ICMP polls, to check
the quality of the network and, in need, can reboot itself.
Figure 19: HTTP - Network & Security ICMP Check

You can enter up to 3 addresses, which will be checked via ICMP. If all 3 addresses are not be
reachable, the CS121 will reboot itself after 750 seconds (default). We recommend to use the
IP address of a gateway and 2 more addresses, which are reachable steady. If you enter only
1 or 2 addresses, the amount of the checkable addresses is reduced and the possibility to
initiate a reboot will increase unnecessarily, because less addresses are at hand for the check
of the network quality. If the CS121 will reboot itself often at enabled ICMP check, an analysis
of the network is required (e. g. Wireshark), to be able to find the reason. If this should not be
possible, you should disable all ports at your switch, which are not required for the CS121, to
avoid unnecessarily network traffic. Please take a look into chapter Appendix D., D.9 for further
information.
26
Note: The CS121 supports 3 functions of ICMP via RFC 792:
0 Echo reply
3 Destination unreachable
8 Echorequest
4.2.6 Function hide of HTTP links
The CS121 firmware version 4.23 or higher provides the function to disable the following

You can determine into the ARP Settings, which IP address to which MAC address will be
assigned. Therefore the ARP entry will not expire for this IP address. The ARP table will be
determined firmly and will never expire! Case of application: HP Teaming or an ARP entry is
desired, but the ARP table cannot be restored automatically.
4.2.8 Email

The Email Trap function provides the transfer of device/UPS data via POP protocol to the
UNMS II. Into the UNMS II AdminConsole can the connection type be defined, like the other

button. Please note, that it is required to execute the « Save, Exit & Reboot » function, after
you have finished your configuration.
4.2.11 Timeserver
The CS121 uses a timeserver to supply the correct date and time of any event in its local
logfile. If no Timeserver is set, the CS121 will not use date and time in the logfile, but a date
stamp of 1970.
31
Figure 26: HTTP - Timeserver Settings
The timeserver is important to synchronize the UPS logfile to the actual time. The adapter
supports up to three different timeserver IP-addresses. Both, RFC868- and SNTP- protocols
are available. Enter the IP-address of any timeserver in your LAN or in the internet. In the
internet you will find many timeservers supporting RFC 868 TCP requests, e.g. the IP-address
of the timeserver of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is 129.6.15.29; the
timeserver of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt is 192.53.103.103.
Note: The timeserver will synchronize immediately following the reboot. If the
synchronisation fails, the CS121 will attempt another timeserver
synchronisation. Following that, the CS121 will attempt a
synchronisation with the timeserver every 24 hours. It is required to
unlock UDP port 123. From Firmware 4.17 the timeserver will
synchronize in a 10 minute interval for at most 24 hours, after it the
synchronization interval will be reduced to 24 hours.
The CS121 firmware version 4.28.x provides the option to set the system time manually.
Please note, that after the next reboot the synchronization will be lost.
Attention: The NEWAVE UPS got a special feature: Time synchronization via MODBUS
command 99. With this signal, the internal clock of the CS121 will be reset to 01:00 every
night, because of the optimization of a correct time. To avoid that the CS121 internet
synchronization process will correct this time again (regularly process at every restart and
every 24 hours), it is required to disable the SNTP timeserver into the CS121.
time of the PC with an internet clock. How to setup the MS-Timeservice is described below.
If you do not have any internet access in your network, you may setup a timeserver which use
the PC clock. For this you may choose any freeware from the internet or download from here:
http://www.generex.de/wwwfiles/timeserver/atcs22.zip
Test Timeserver connection: This option is testing the Timeserver connection with a time and
date stamp. Please note that the connection to the timeserver only works, when the adapter is
not in the configuration mode (IP 10.10.10.10).
Please take a look into the FAQ of this user manual for further information how to use a
workstation as timeserver.

4.2.13 Events / Alarms
The Event/Alarm-pages are the main feature of the CS121-configuration and are based on a
combination of events and actions (resp. Jobs). At CS121 there are various events defined,
UPS Battery bad tc. Each event the CS121 allows
you to release one or more actions. An action can be e. g. write a log file entry in the alarm log
(as default all events do perform a log file event), to send an email or to perform an RCCMD
Command (e. g. shutdown signals to several RCCMD clients). For a short introduction into the

The Event Editor offers you 3 commands on each job: Edit, Delete and Test (see figure
above). Please note: The Test will perform the execution actually, which means for exeample,
that testing a RCCMD shutdown job will actually trigger the shutdown signal at the client side!
You should perform a shutdown test not until you have switched off the shutdown procedure at
the client (RCCMD Configuration, Button Configure shutdown).
All jobs are not saved until you executed the Save, Exit and Reboot function, not until the
device is restarted and running in normal mode (DIP-Switch 1 is ON).
The number of jobs per event ist limited. CS121 Series 2001-2006 allow up to 25 jobs,
running under Firmware 3.5x even up to 35 jobs (approx., depends on the jobs). If more jobs
should be executed, you have to configure RCCMD as relay station, as described in section
6.1.1.
4.2.13.1 Threshold Events

4.2.13.5 AUX-Port
Figure 37: HTTP - Job Editor: Switch AUX-Port

In general, the AUX port is used for auxiliary contacts that can be configured to function as
either an Input or an Output (e. g. as input for air-conditioning alarm contacts and as output to
switch on electrical sockets or start beepers etc. ). When these contacts are set as inputs, they
are to be treated as an menu. Reverse, the AUX contacts to be
treated as actions, when they are being used as outputs. The AUX port is also used for
connecting an SS4/AUX power outlet manager, in which case all AUX ports function as

4.2.14 SNMP
Within this menu you can define access controls for SNMP-communities. This concern e.g.
SNMP-Management tools, Trap receivers etc.. The CS121 firmware version 4.44.x provides
SNMP V3. SNMP V3 requires the definition of at least a SNMP V3 user on both sides (CS121,
SNMP-Management tool). The following SNMP V3 security level are at present:
o No auth, no priv: No authentication, no privacy, but an SNMP V3 user
o Auth, no priv: Authentication (SNMP V3 user, SNMP V3 password), no
privacy
o Auth, priv: Authentication (SNMP V3 user, SNMP V3 password), SNMP

Figure 38: HTTP SNMP Settings
The submenu displays a column of 10 manager IP-addresses with the corresponding access
permissions, the commands and an example. Use this screen to specify which managers have
access to the SNMP adapter agent, the community names (password) and also what type of
access the IP managers have - read only or read and write.
Configuring Trap-receivers
Use this to determine which IP managers receive traps (messages) from your SNMP-adapter.
The screen permits you to send traps about your UPS to IP-addresses (managers).
Also, the menu for switching authentication and cold boot traps are located here. If activated
these traps are send to the configured SNMP trap receivers in the trap receiver list.
SNMP Trap Test
In this menu the user may test the SNMP traps, whereas the defined traps are only used for
test purposes and do not represent real traps. The receiver must also be configured in order to

4.2.15 COM2 & AUX
4.2.15.1 COM2
This menu takes the user into the submenus for the general settings of the COM2 and AUX
connection ports of the CS121-adapter.
Figure 39: HTTP - COM2 Mode overview

Configuration Mode:
This sets the normal configuration mode for using the CS121 configuration cable (not
included).
Note: Unless DIP-switch 1 is OFF the COM2 port is always running in

configuration mode.
Note: The Pipe Through Modes are not supported from every UPS model.
Please contact GENEREX via [email protected], if your UPS model
is supporting these modes.
Pipe-Through Mode 1:
- -232 protocol of the UPS
will be transmitted to the COM2 of the adapter, so now you can connect any other RS-232
software to the adapter to make use of the RS-232 UPS protocol parallel to the adapter. This
makes the use of multiplexer hardware is no longer necessary. 2 serial interfaces on your UPS
which are working parallel are utilized now. Reminder: If you have enabled this function, you
can no longer configure the adapter via the serial cable, you must changed the settings via
HTTP. As communication cable between CS121 and your application you have to use the
original CS121 configuration cable (not included).
Note: Please note, that it is required to define the same baud rate of the UPS
-Through Mode 1 +
2!
40
Pipe-Through Mode 2:
Analog to Pipe-through mode 1, the UPS data is piped through to COM2 but not directly. In
order to accelerate the internal processes of the adapter, the UPS data is accumulated into
memory before being made available to COM2. Consequently, Pipe-through mode 2 also does
not provide for the relaying of signals to the UPS through COM2 either. (See also section
Figure 40: Pipe Thru Installation
MODBUS/SPI3
The selection of MODBUS/SPI3 in the drop down menu of the COM2 settings enables the
CS121 MODBUS/SPI3-Profibus function. The default CS121 device types communicating
MODBUS via RS232. The special CS121 device types LM and SCM communicating RS485
via the COM2. You can detect by means of the CS121 serial number 0124-..., if you got a
CS121 with RS485 interface. The CS121_SPI3 Profibus and LONBUS converters will be
connected to the COM2 with RS232 port and as configuration use MODBUS/SPI3.Please take
a look into chapter 6.7 for further information.
TEMPMAN & SENSORMANAGER I & II:

The TEMPMAN and SENSORMANAGER are extensions to the CS121 that connect to COM2
of the adapter. The newer of the two products is the SensorManager. These devices are
simply plugged into the CS121 for setup and the only mandatory change on the adapter to
enable this functioning is to set the COM2 Settings to either TEMPMAN or SENSORMAN. The
configuration is easily achieved via the HTML page of the CS121 web server. Please note the
drop-down menu and entry fields on the page. (see screenshot above) For in-depth
SENSORMANAGER settings see following up chapter.

A GSM modem provides the notification or rather forwarding of the UPS events/alarms via
SMS. Please take a look into chapter 6.5 for further information.
SiteManager 2, SiteManager 2/v3
The selection of SiteManager 2, SiteManager 2/v3 enables the communication between the
CS121 and the SiteManager. The SiteManager is a professional facility management device,
which provides 8 configurable analog inputs, 8 digital inputs and 8 switchable relay contacts.
Please take a look into the SiteManager II user manual for further information.
SiteMonitor 2
The COM2 selection SiteMonitor 2 enables the communication between the CS121 and the
SiteMonitor 2. The SiteMonitor 2 is a professional facility management device, which provides
64 digital inputs for several contact detectors.

The SM_T_H_COM is a temperature and humidity sensor for the CS121 and is used for the
monitoring and controlling of UPS rooms, server rooms etc.. Please take a look into the
SM_T_H_COM datasheet for further information.
4.2.15.2 AUX and SITESWITCH4 Settings
The AUX connection is an input/output port for connecting external contact devices such as
alarms or for connecting to an SS4AUX SiteSwitch power socket manager. The SS4
SiteSwitch is a standalone device with a built in CS121. The SiteSwitch SS4 AUX is an
inexpensive and practical extension to the CS121 adapters enabling the individual power
switching of up to four power sockets using the inbuilt AUX port (4 pins) of the CS121. By
entering the corresponding list number, the AUX ports are switched to output or input.
The AUX port can only read signals, if the port is switched to input. If switched to output the
AUX port can send signals to an optocoupler for example. (Refer to the circuit diagrams in the
appendix.) After a reboot, the state of the switches remains in the status previous to the
reboot.
The following describes the configuration of the AUX ports using the HTML interface. All of the
AUX ports 1 4 can be m
activated when connecting a SITESWITCH4 to the AUX port of the CS121.

When the Output options are deactivated, the AUX ports act as inputs used for monitoring
signals such as input from alarm contacts. For example, while configuring port 2 as an input to
monitor an alarm, the CS121 can also be preconfigured to respond to the alarm signal from
port 2 to shut on or off a device connected to one of the other ports that has been set to
Output.
-
The OUTPUT setting is to be configured with a power-up sequence so that, for example the
fileserver on port 1 will be switched on upon Power up. In the Power up delay-fields the
number of seconds after a Power up in which a connected port device is to be switched on can
be entered. E.g. the setting 10 in the Power delay column will cause the switching on of the
fileserver on Port 1 to be delayed by 10 seconds after the Power up. Note that executing the
Save, Exit & Reboot does not cause a Power up, in order to cause a Power up the power
supply to the adapter must be interrupted. The differences between a Reboot and a Power up
become more noticeable when considering the AUX port contacts. During a Reboot the current
status of the ports remain unchanged unless the settings of the ports have been changed from
input to output or vice versa. A Power up will set the ports to the preconfigured Power up
settings.
Note: From CS121 HW131 it is required, if the AUX ports will be defined from
- or rather Output, that a cable with Pull-Down resistance
or a CON-AUX or a CON-R-AUX is connected. Otherwise the status
display of the AUX ports is undefined and can be changed by itself
anytime !
4.2.16 SENSORMANAGER
The SENSORMANAGER is a data measurement and collecting unit which allows the
individual measurement and monitoring of 8 analog measurement devices (0-10V) and 4
digital alarm inputs or 4 outputs (open collectors). SENSORMANAGER has its own chapter in
the manual, wherein the features and field of applications etc. pp. are described as well as in

mode displays a failure of the UPS, please call the UPS service to solve the problem.
Shutdown UPS: This action causes the switch off of the UPS. This could be arranged, if a low
charging of the battery occurs, in case of a fire alarm or a power failure happens.
Switch UPS Outlet: This is a function to switch of the UPS outlets (not provided of every
UPS).
Switch AUX port: In general the AUX port is used for additional contacts, which can be
configured as in- or output (e. g.: as input for alarm contacts of an air conditioner or as an
output to switch a connector). If the contacts will be configured as inputs, they are able to be
ly. You cannot switch

inputs!
RCCMD Shutdown: Here, IP-addresses from computers with RCCMD connection (receivers)
in the network can be entered. The CS121-adapter can then initiate a multi-server shutdown.
The timing for such a shutdown procedure depends on the configured down time of the
adapter (default: time of the remaining capacity of battery in min., during a long power fail.) or
on a countdown timer. Extended CS121-adapters can also use more events (e.g. battery low,
battery defect, communication lost etc.) as RCCMD signals. Please contact your UPS dealer
for more information.
RCCMD Message: With this job the user can combine and configure a text message with
RCCMD event. Text messages can be sent to RCCMD receivers. This makes it possible to
send text messages via RCCMD (version 2 or higher) to a Windows 2000 server or a Unix

4.3 Reading the Logfiles
The CS121-Alarmlog contains the alarm protocol of events that were designated as alarms in
the Event/Settings-section and include the user defined alarm settings of the CS121
configuration as well as the events that are designated as alarms in the UPS native protocol.
These entries include such things as CS121 Admin defined email notifications which lead to a
much higher alarm entry log level than would otherwise be the case if only UPS protocol
defined alarms were being recorded. For explanation, the following illustrates typical log file
entries made by the UPS:
The CS121 logs the time after a new start up:
01/17/2007,16:21:45, Synchronized with timeserver 192.53.103.103. OK
This indicates a successful synchronization with the timeserver.
01/17/2007,16:23:39, UPSMAN <UPS model> has started

UPS communication functions and device is in normal operation mode. This is the standard
entry after every successful reboot of a CS121.
(The following entries result only from user defined settings as with the CS121
ADMINSTRATOR EMAIL Settings.)
01/17/2007,16:28:39, MAIL: subject "CS121 Event 4" successfully sent.
for this particular UPS is the EVENT "UPSMAN started" This means that an Email was sent
with the text "UPSMAN started" which acts to confirm the log entry of 08:06:50 as Email.
01/17/2007,16:28:47, MAIL: subject "CS121 Event 16" successfully sent
In this case, the Scheduler has been activated and is ready for operations. In this case, the
scheduler is set to conduct a "Selftest" which it in turn relays per email to the designated
CS121 ADMIN.
01/17/2007,16:28:47,MAIL: subject "CS121 Event 26" successfully sent
46
These are 4 Emails indicating the status of the AUX Ports (Auxiliary connection for external
alarms), which are set to give notification of the status signal LOW. Since the AUX Status can
only be set to High or Low and given that the CS121 in itself cannot distinguish the device, an
alarm email will be sent by the CS121 to the designated ADMIN at startup per default with the
startup status of each connected alarm. In this case, it is up to the administrator to determine if
the emails indicate an actual alarm or not.
These are 8 Emails sending information about analogue sensors (temperature, humidity and
the like) that are connected to a SENSORMANAGER, indicating that all controlled values are
within tolerance levels - or that no sensor is connected to the device or connection port.
These 4 Emails indicate that the digital sensors (for airconditioning, fire alarms and the like) of
the SENSORMANAGER, are either in the normal state or that no sensor is connected.
These 4 Emails indicate the status of the digital alarm contacts of the sensors (for Emergency
OFF, fire extinguisher and the like) connected with the SENSORMANAGER, showing either
the status is NORMAL or that nothing is connected.
This Email shows that no SENSORMANAGER is connected although the CS121 is configured
as having a connection to a Sensormanager. This informs the ADMIN that the CS121 is
incorrectly configured. In this case, the user should correct the settings.
The UPS data will be logged with timestamp into the CS121 DataLog.

4.4 RCCMD
t successful shutdown client for
heterogeneous networks and is the most secure way to establish a UPS multiple server
shutdown sequence today. RCCMD clients are listening to an RCCMD server which is usually
an UPSMAN software, CS121 or any third-party UPS manager which has a license to use
RCCMD. An RCCMD server is found inside any CS121 and is triggering RCCMD clients in
case of alarms. Therefore RCCMD requires such listeners on each client-computer you wish to
forward RCCMD signals. For installation of RCCMD at client-side please see the section in
chapter - .
Note: RCCMD clients are optional and not freeware. Most CS121 are
equipped today with a single RCCMD standard license, some UPS
makers add more licenses, other do not deliver any license at all with a
CS121. Contact your UPS maker and ask for the license regulations for
RCCMD in conjunction with your CS121.
4.4.1 RCCMD Jobs
Powerfail
This event occurs, if the UPS will lose the power supply. This event might be the optimal fitting
for the definition of RCCMD shutdowns.
System Shutdown
This event will be triggered, if the defined system shutdown time was reached. This event
should be used for operations only, which will force a shutdown immediately.
49
Note: This event is the last event, that the CS121 can execute prior of the UPS
shutdown. Do not use this event to execute RCCMD shutdowns, because the remaing time is
not assured! We recommend to use the event powerfail for the RCCMD shutdowns.
Battery low
This event will be triggered from the UPS, if the battery capacity of the UPS has reached a
critical state.
UPSMAN started
This event will be triggered periodical, if the CS121 is in normal operation. You can use this
event, if you want to start actions, which should be triggered into normal operation.
4.4.2 RCCMD Traps

#BATTCAP Battery capacity in %
#INVOLT Input voltage in V
#TEMPDEG Temperature in °Celsius
#AUTONOMTIME Autonomy time in minutes
#LASTTSTBUPT Last test battery autonomy time in minutes
#STATUS Status

#CNT_PF Counter power failures
#CNT_BL Counter battery low events
#CNT_SD Counter shutdowns
#CNT_SA Counter shutdowns active
#CNT_TF Counter test failures
#INPHASES Amount input phases
#OUTPHASES Amount output phases

RCCMD client), it is necessary, to enter the IP-address in parameter 1, and the port number of
the RCCMD client in parameter 2 (default port is 6003). Additionally, the RCCMD client must
either be pre-configured with absolutely no sender filter or should be pre-configured with the
IP-addresses of the particular UPSMAN servers (like UPSMAN, CS121 or other RCCMD
compatible sender) that are to function as recognized senders. These configurations take
place when installing the RCCMD client service. Further details are in the RCCMD software
documentation.
Attention: At the function RCCMD Command it is required to configure a job for every single
client. It is not possible to request several clients/IP-addresses in one job to execute a
command.
is a method for sending
information to the RCCMD stations which have been applied to the CS121. RCCMD Traps
invokes messages at all RCCMD stations. Because of RCCMD plays an active roll in this
mode no receiver information is to be entered in the parameters of this job (see also following
The CS121-adapter uses the parameter-based RCCMD Version 2, which can execute
different actions on the same TCP channel. RCCMD Version 1 clients can only execute one
action (shutdown file execution as default, so any RCCMD signal which is transmitted to an
51
RCCMD client V1 will cause a shutdown of this server ) RCCMD Version 3 is capable to
handle also redundant UPS installations (eg. PC with 2 power supplies and 2 UPS).
Note: For all 3 RCCMD event functions a list of the user configured RCCMD
receivers appear in every RCCMD event.
The amount of RCCMD clients is limited and dependent of the size of the RAM. 50 RCCMD
clients per CS121 are guaranteed. If you need more than 50 clients to reach, we recommend
to use RCCMD relays (see chapter 5.1.4). However it is only possible to execute 50 clients at
the same time, meaning that the first 50 RCCMD clients are executed followed by the next 50
etc. We recommend to change the timing parmeters of the RCCMD-jobs that always less than
50 commands are transmitted at the same time. We also recommend to use an RCCMD client
as Relaystation if you want to shutdown more than 50 computers from a single CS121. (see
section 6.1.1 RCCMD with SSL for Windows

4.4.3 RCCMD with own SSL certificates

In this chapter we will describe, how to use an own SSL certificate with RCCMD, e. g.
OpenSSL ( http://www.openssl.org ):
Be your own CA
Using OpenSSL it is quite simple to become your own CA. Just run:
CA.pl newca
Done! Just ensure, that you select a useful CN (common name)!
Create your RCCMD certificate
You need to create your certificate for RCCMD now. As it will use it for verification, it should
contain the same useful common name (CN), that you selected for the CA. The private key
must not be encrypted to let the RCCMD Client (service) start without trouble. Therefore we
-
CA.pl newreq -nodes
Sign with your CA:
CA.pl sign
Now create an empty file and copy the cert information of newcert.pem
(rccmd certificate), newkey.pem (private key) and cacert.pem (CA) into it. Please note, that the
exact copying is required to use it without trouble!
Use your own RCCMD certificate
Do the following steps at the RCCMD Client and every sender (e. g. UPS Web Manager):
Backup the
Restart the RCCMD Client

Restart the RCCMD Sender
RCCMD client as relay station)
Note: The RCCMD timeout is 60 seconds, meaning that after this time the
communication to the RCCMD client will be stopped and a logfile entry
will be made. When an OK response from the client is received, the
53
system assumes a successful RCCMD Shutdown and proceeds with a
shutdown of the next 50 RCCMD clients. Every minute one batch of up
to 50 RCCMD clients can be executed without SSL.
Note: All network components, such as routers, hubs etc. need to be fully
UPS-supported, as it is otherwise not possible to reach all clients during the network
shutdown.
4.4.4 RCCMD Shutdown
Figure 53: HTTP - Job Editor: RCCMD Shutdown

Here, IP-addresses from computers with RCCMD connection (receivers) in the network can be
entered. The CS121-adapter can then initiate a multi-server shutdown. The timing for such a
shut down procedure depends on the configured down time of the adapter (default: time of the
remaining capacity of battery in min., during a long power fail.) or on a countdown timer.
Extended CS121-adapters can also use more events (e.g. battery low, battery defect,
communication lost etc.) as RCCMD signals. Please contact your UPS dealer for more
information.
Please note at the configuration of the timer box, that the time specifications outside the timer
box (Immediately, once and Scheduled in) will be ALWAYS executed. The time specifications
inside the timer box (Every/After seconds, After seconds & repeat, After seconds on battery, At
seconds remaining time) will be only executed, if the alarm/event is still present.
Note: For security reasons we recommend to make the same RCCMD

- but in this Event without
any delays to avoid that the server crashes because of low battery
alarm.
In case a connection is established using telnet or http, the RCCMD-
command can be tested without using disrupting power to the UPS. At
the Web-
shutdown signal immediately. (see figure HTTP - Event Editor above)
Due to network settings it is possible that this test is answered with
"failed". The signal is often sent and received although the receiver may
not respond correctly. In such cases, only use the receiver side to check
if the signal has actually been received. For checking the communication
between RCCMDs you have to check the RCCMD log file on both sides.
In the CS121 the logs are inside the Alarm log, at the RCCMD client side
the logs are found inside the RCCMD folder e. g. rccmd.log.
Example for the configuration of a RCCMD Shutdown
Click on the CS121 Web- Events/Alarms button.

Description of the scheduler box :

"Immediately, once: Action/Job will be executed in case that this EVENT is true immediately,
only once the Action/Job is started (no repeat)".
" Action/Job will be executed in case that this EVENT is true with a scheduled
delay of x seconds. Unregarded if the EVENT is still true or not, after the delay the action will
be started.
The timer settings in the blue framed scheduler box will be executed only, if the EVENT is still
true after the delays/countdowns have run out.
E.g. if any action has been configured at "do after 10 seconds" than this action will NOT be
started, if after 9 seconds the EVENT is no longer true. Only if 10 seconds this EVENT was
present, the action will be triggered.
See below the explanation of all timer event configuration options for this type :
Action/Job will be executed in case that this EVENT is true immediately and
repeated always as long as the EVENT is true (every 5 seconds according to poll cycle
default of a CS121).
Action/Job will be executed in case that this EVENT is true with a delay
55
of x seconds and repeated every x seconds again.
Action/Job will be executed in case that this EVENT is true after a delay
of x seconds. Action will be cancelled, if EVENT is false before time has run out.
Action/Job will be executed in case that this EVENT is true
after a delay of x seconds and will be repeated after x seconds again. Action will be cancelled,
if EVENT is false before time has run out.
Action/Job will be executed in case that the EVENT UPS ON
BATTERY or POWERFAIL is true and after a delay of x seconds. Action will be cancelled, if
EVENT is false before time has run out. This Job is identical to the EVENT POWERFAIL and
the configuration "After x seconds".
Action/Job will be executed in case that the UPS runs on

battery/Powerfail and the remaining time, read by the UPS or calculated by the
internal CS121 routine has reached a certain remaining time. Only useful if the
"Autonomytime" of your UPS can be regarded as reliable.
"REMAINING TIME " is defined as Autonomytime in seconds of this UPS at the actual
discharging level minus the DOWNTIME (configured in menu UPS MODEL & SYSTEM,
default is 3/6 minutes).

4.4.6 RCCMD Message

With this job the user can combine and configure a text message with RCCMD event. Text
messages can be sent to RCCMD receivers. This makes it possible to send text messages via
different operating systems is therefore solved.
Note: The corresponding RCCMD clients must be running with RCCMD

version 2. RCCMD version 1 can only execute e.g. a shutdown as more
than one action are not supported by version 1. Please contact your
UPS dealer if you want to use these functions.
4.4.7 RCCMD Execute/Command
This RCCMD signal will cause any RCCMD receiver (e.g. another CS121, RCCMD client or
SITEMANAGER, SITESWITCH4) to execute a command or program.
58
Figure 64: HTTP - Job Editor: RCCMD execute/command
Any CS121, SITEMANAGER, SITESWITCH can also act as an RCCMD listener; see the
following examples:
Example of use 1: CS121-adapter as RCCMD-listener
If it is necessary to execute a command with parameters or a user defined script then these
commands must be prepared as an executable batch on the RCCMD client.
The following example toggles the state of AUX output port 2 to high. To ensure that the above
command works with a CS121 as RCCMD client the following four criteria must be met:
Add IP of UPSMAN sender in the SNMP community of the CS121-RCCMD client (see also
Target AUX port must be set to "use as Output" (menu AUX, see according section)
The send RCCMD Command must match the settings of the CS121 RCCMD listener client.
See the UPSMAN User Manual for setting up this job on a computer running UPS
Management Software.
Example of use 2: CS121-adapter switches an output
CS121 receives an external RCCMD signal to switch an output at the SS4 (Power Switch)
which is connected to the AUX of a CS121.
If you want to send from a CS121, UPSMAN, SITEMANAGER II, SITEMONITOR II,
SITESWITCH 4 or any other RCCMD sender a signal to any other RCCMD client e.g. to switch
at its AUX port an output, please follow the example below.
Note: To let the receiver act as RCCMD listener, same basic settings in menu
(Usually the listener port is 6002)
Figure 65: HTTP Enable RCCMD Listener

Generally there are 3 commands which can be transmitted from any RCCMD Sender:

|UPSCMD|20000|1,0 = Output 1 off
|UPSCMD|20000|2,1 = Output 2 on
|UPSCMD|20000|8,0 = Output 8 off
Figure 66: HTTP - Job Editor: RCCMD-Command
If you want to send a signal from a RCCMD client, e.g. UPSMAN or RCCMD Software, to
switch an AUX port of a CS121, do the following:
C:\RCCMD\
rccmd -se "EXECUTE |AUX|1|1" -a 192.168.202.165 -p 6002
Common syntax for the switching of AUX ports:
|AUX|1|0 Port1, set to low

|AUX|1|1 Port1, set to high

4.4.8 UPS shutdown
This event action enables an UPS shutdown. It is possible to configure when to send a
shutdown signal to the UPS in case of an e.g. battery low, fire alarm or if a complete power
down is wanted.
Attention: This command will cut off the power supply only for UPS which support
this function!
Figure 67: HTTP - Job Editor: Shutdown UPS-Job

The example above configures that 60 seconds after the event powerfail has occurred, the
UPS is initiating a shutdown and the UPS waits another 120 seconds after the event powerfail
is gone (power restored), before the UPS start up is initiated.

5. Adapter Software Updates (Firmware)

Usually the CS121-Adapter already contains a specified firmware-version and does not need
to be updated unless you have problems or you find a update recommendation on our website.
(use firmware online update link on CS121 page).
If you have connected your CS121 via LAN a link at the Webbrowser configuration page
(CS121 Firmware Update) indicates you with red or green coloured information whether you
should perform a Firmware-Update or not.
Figure 72: HTTP - Firmware Update Page
Note: We strongly recommend to update any firmware lower than 2.69 to the
actual version!
All actual Firmware-updates are provided at www.generex.de download page.
Note: Any interruption of a firmware upload may damage your adapter. If this is
the case, you have to reformat the adapter with special software See
more information.
The boot procedure of the CS121-adapter performs several steps:
First, the firmware is going to be uncompressed.
Starting firmware
Control process called UPSMAN is going to be started and USV connection is trying to
established
Services e.g. Webserver etc. started
There are two ways to update your firmware-version, by using the Setup-tool or via FTP.
5.1 Firmwareupdate via Setup-tool
Firmware updates are available for free at www.generex.de. Download the specified version
(mind your OEM ID) and follow up the setup-procedure. If necessary, consult your UPS
dealer for further information.
5.2 Firmwareupdate via FTP
You can download the update file from www.generex.de or from your manufacturer site.
A firmware update via FTP does not change the operating system of the CS121 only. If you
want to change the manufacturer data, please contact your UPS dealer directly.
64
5.3 Firmware flash renewal and recovery
General information regarding the upgrading process of the CS121 - Known Problems
and Preliminary Precautions:
Any update will cause a deletion of all former settings. The adapter must be reconfigured
after the update. The current settings information can be saved by using an FTP connection to
your adapter to save the upsman.cfg file in the flash directory to a local directory. This file
contains all of the information about the current CS121 settings in a formatted text. Do not
copy this file back onto the adapter after the update as a replacement for the new upsman.cfg.
The information must be entered back into the settings using the adapters configuration
interface. Note that the http interface often contains newer settings options that are not yet
implemented in the telnet and terminal interfaces.
Any recovery should be made on the default IP Address 10.10.10.10. Put DIP Switch 1 and
2 in the OFF position before starting.
Please avoid the use of routers and switches between your computer and the CS121, if
available use Hub (recommended) or a direct line (Ethernet-cross-cable).
Instructions for recovery procedure:
In case the CS121 is not running, has any defect or other problem, please put dip switch 1 to
OFF (Dip 2 should be always OFF) and follow the procedure below:
1. Before starting the update, unplug the adapter from the power supply (slot cards have to be
removed from the slot).
2. Set a route to default IP-Address. Command syntax on your windows computer: "route add
10.10.10.10 <your IP address>". Also note that the flash tool can also be used to set the route
for you by checking the set route check box in the update interface.

6. Additional Software
6.1 RCCMD
RCCMD is the client module for integrating an unlimited number of computers of any operating
system into an UPSMAN managed UPS facility. The main purpose is to transmit shutdown
signal or messages to RCCMD clients in other networks or on other OS.
Figure 80: RCCMD - Overview

The RCCMD Software got his own user manual. Please follow this link to get it:
http://www.generex.de/generex/download/manuals/manual_RCCMD_Win_Unix_Mac_en.pdf
6.1.1 RCCMD with SSL for Windows

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is a cryptographic protocol that provides security
and data integrity for communications over TCP/IP networks.

Figure 83: Settings Confirmation
6.1.2 RCCMD with own SSL certificates

In this chapter we will describe, how to use an own SSL certificate with RCCMD, e. g.
OpenSSL ( http://www.openssl.org ):
Be your own CA
Using OpenSSL it is quite simple to become your own CA. Just run:
CA.pl newca
Done! Just ensure, that you select a useful CN (common name)!
Create your RCCMD certificate
You need to create your certificate for RCCMD now. As it will use it for verification, it should
contain the same useful common name (CN), that you selected for the CA. The private key
must not be encrypted to let the RCCMD Client (service) start without trouble. Therefore we
-
CA.pl newreq -nodes
Sign with your CA:
CA.pl sign
Now create an empty file and copy the cert information of newcert.pem
(rccmd certificate), newkey.pem (private key) and cacert.pem (CA) into it. Please note, that the
exact copying is required to use it without trouble!
Use your own RCCMD certificate
Do the following steps at the RCCMD Client and every sender (e. g. UPS Web Manager):
Backup the
Restart the RCCMD Client

Restart the RCCMD Sender
6.1.3 RCCMD client as relay station

In order to reach a bigger number of RCCMD receivers, the adapter needs to be operated as
relay station. The receiver will be configured so that it will receive a RCCMD signal and this
signal is then used to start a batch file, which then starts even more RCCMD sender signals.
Please take a look into the RCCMD Software usr manual for further information.
70
6.1.4 License regulations
Please note that in order to use these functions legally, the corresponding RCCMD program is
installed and started from the UPS-Management Software CD resp. see www.generex.de-
download page for the latest version. (see above) The license code can only be used once
per installation. If more computers need to be added to the shutdown process, additional
licenses are required. The CS121 package does usually contain a single license for RCCMD
to shutdown 1 computer. For more computers to shutdown you have to order separate
RCCMD client licenses. If you want to shut down more than 50 clients in one company or
organisation, please contact your UPS dealer and order an enterprise license. Then you will
get one RCCMD license for all clients only.
6.2 jChart
jChart is a GENEREX Web 2.0 Control Chart for all web-browsers, which simple visualizes the
data log file of the CS121 (since CS121 firmware version 4.27).

with all different kinds of functions. UPS systems, with serial interfaces often incorporate of a
variety of measured values and status information. Those can be displayed using overview or
block diagrams. Other devices, such as diesel generators or extra measuring units can be
integrated with this management software via the network. A separate password protected
screen can be created, if the devices also support remote controlling commands. The values

7. CS121-Enhancements, Field of applications

7.1 SiteSwitch4 (SS4) and SiteSwitch4AUX (SS4AUX)
Figure 92: SideSwitch4 and SS4 AUX

SITEWITCH4AUX is a high-performed extension of the CS121-adapter but can also be
operated as stand-alone solution with the possibility to connect to UPS or UPS-similar devices.
The SITESWITCH has 4 power outputs sockets, which can be configurated by the event
settings of the CS121 or any other RCCMD compliant sender like SITEMANAGER,
SITEMONITOR.
Figure 93: CS121-Installation with SideSwitch4

Using the integrated Webserver, the SITESWITCH 4 enables the monitoring and the remote
control of its 4 power outputs. The power sockets can be switched on and off individually. This
can be done either manually via the HTML browser interface or UPSMON or automatically
using the EVENT manager of the CS121 - or any other network CS121 or compatible device.
When executing the action using the EVENT manager of the CS121, the power switching can
be preconfigured to run with delays or to run on a schedule. Both the UPSMON time scheduler
and the HTML time scheduler can be used to configure a power switching time schedule.
76
This task can also be achieved using the full version of the UNMS UPS Network Management
Software.
Note: (only SS4, not SS4AUX) If you wish to use a UPS with your SS4 then
you must install the appropriate CS121 Firmware on your SS4. The
default Firmware on SS4 (OEMID 27) is for the usage without UPS, as
standalone remote powerswitch. For UPS usage at the SS4 you must
also be sure to set the Exchange COM Ports checkbox and then use the
configuration cable (not included) to connect the SS4 with your UPS.

7.1.3 SS4 Installation
The power consuming devices are connected to the SS4 using IEC 250 VAC/6A plug cables.
The SS4 has 4 IEC 250VAC/6A chassis sockets that can be switched on and off separately.
Special notice is to be given to the 8A threshold breaking capacity; exceeding this limit will
cause the SS4 fuse to break leaving all connected devices without electricity.
Note: Due to errors that may cause the switched off power outlet to remain on
it is necessary to conduct the following: Before connecting any power
consuming devices with the SITESWITCH 4 or working on any power
consuming devices already connected to the SITESWTICH 4, make sure
77
that the SITESWITCH 4 is not connected to the power supply by pulling
its power cable out of the power socket.

the power cables can be connected from behind as well.

As soon as all of the power consuming devices are connected to the SS4, the IEC 16 power
This means that none of the sockets are being provided with power thus cutting the connected
devices from the power supply.
The CS121 establishes a user interface for the SS4 for which the user has the option of using
either UPSMON, Webbrowser, UNMS or an SNMP-Program. All communications take place
either through a modem or network connection. Detailed information is covered in section 7.7.9

7.2 Sensor SM_T_COM
The SM_T_COM is a temperature sensor for the use with a GENEREX CS121. It has a range
from -25° - 100° Celsisus (-13° 212° Fahrenheit) and comes with a 1.8 meter cable for
connecting to the CS121 COM2 port. The SM_T_COM is designed for monitoring and
management of 19"- racks, UPS rooms, server and data center rooms and for industrial
applications. Simple Plug' n Play connections insure that the sensor can be easily and safely
installed.
Figure 95: The Sensor SM_T_COM
Figure 96: CS121-Installation with temperature SM_T_COM
78
The SM_T_COM (also available as SM_T_H a combination of Temperature and Humidity) is
a temperature sensor with an RS232 protocol which can be connected directly to the CS121
COM2 port. (Not BUDGET series).
The SM_T_COM shows the actual values on the CS121 Webserver screen and allows to
trigger alarms, emails, messages in case the values exceed configurable thresholds.
SM_T_COM is simply connected with the original CS121-TEMP cable (part of every CS121
SC and L) to the COM2. In the Webinterface COM2 & AUX you have to change to the COM2
boot to start the CS121 with your
new settings. The Configuration of thresholds and Events is made via the Event-configuration
windows and the SM_T_COM configuration page.
7.2.1 SM_T_COM configuration
Figure 97: CS121- SM_T_COM Settings

Enter the desired values for the Threshold (low) and Treshold (high).
You can calibrate every sensor with the Offset, that means if you want to rise a measured
value for 5°C, just modify the default range from 0.0 to 5.0. Therefore you are able to adjust
the measurement values like a gauged thermometer.
You can define the following functions for SM_T_COM Events (see figure below).
Figure 98: CS121- SM_T_COM Functions

The CS121 firmware version 4.26.x provides the option to define threshold events for the

7.3 SENSORMANAGER & SENSORMANAGER II
7.3.1 General information
If more than 1 or 2 environmental values are wanted to manage, than the SENSORMANGER
(SensorMan) is your choice. This device is a data measurement and collecting unit which
allows the individual measurement and monitoring of 8 analog measurement devices (0-10V)
and 4 digital alarm inputs or 4 outputs (open collectors).
Figure 101: Sensor Manager (SensorMan)

The SENSORMANAGER is a system extension for the CS121 Professional, BACS
WEBMANAGER, CS121 Mini und CS121_R_II.Universal Remote Sensor Control Box for the
monitoring of temperature, humidity and many other types of sensors as well as for the the
management of digital input/output signals. 8 analog inputs (0-10V), + 4 digital input and/or
outputs (48 V 500mA). Digital Outputs are configurable as normally open or as normally
closed. Digital input connections directly through sensor for some models or connect directly to
the RJ11 socket. Convenient splitting plug available for attaching two sensors to one RJ11
socket.
Purpose:
Monitoring of temperatures, humidity and other analog data in computer rooms with
automated response to system alarms.
Alarms can be individually configured and defined for trip contacts such as fire, smoke and
intrusion, and minimum/maximum thresholds values can be set for analog devices such as
humidity, temperature and pressure, fluid level, etc. any sensor which transmits its values
between 0- 10 V may be connected to a SENSORMANAGER.
Data logging, logging of alarms, automatic shutdowns of network computers, and other
actions can be set as reactions to critical alarms.
All system operating and configuring can be done remotely via Web browser. The EVENT
driven alarm management system of the CS121 informs the administrator of problems and
may automatically switch off computers and other devices (Optional extensions: SITESWITCH
4 or SITEMANGER).
The SENSORMANAGER is an extension to the CS121 Webmanager. If you want to connect
any other computing device, please download the RS-232 protocol for the SENSOR
MANAGER from our website and adjust your software to this communication type.

7.3.2 Installation and Network integration
Figure 102: CS121-Installation with SENSORMANAGER

As shown in the figure above CS121 can also be applied to observe and react on alarms of the
SENSORMANAGER-Inputs. Therefore, the CS121 COM2 port is connected and configurated
- and Sensor-Input/Outputs. Within the CS121 configuration it is
possible to define actions, which will be released from events of the
Connecting the SENSORMANAGER Box
The SENSORMANAGER has to be connected with the original configuration cable (not
included) of the CS121 to COM 2.
The sensors for the SENSORMANAGER may be connected direct to the socket Inputs 1-4
using an RJ12 cable. In this configuration you can only use up to 4 sensors. If you want to use
all 8 analog inputs, you have to use a splitting plug (optional) or connect the sensors directly to
the Channel Inputs as described above.
If you use the sensor type SM, you may connect a second SM sensor to the input of the first
SM. You can not connect more than 2 SM sensors in line.
For connecting an alarm contact to the SM sensor, you may use the first or the second SM
contact input/output, but not both. Only one digital input/output is available per socket.
OTHER SENSORS: If you use other sensors than SM, EE or TM, you must use a splitting plug
in order to connect more than one sensor to a single INPUT of the SENSORMANAGER.
For setting up the sensors in the SENSORMANAGER make sure your configuration matches
your sensor type, e. g. see example:
82
Figure 103: SENSORMANAGER II Settings
Using the splitting plugs (order number SPSMRJ) it is possible to connect up to 8 sensors and
4 contacts to the SENSOR- MANAGER. A MOUNTING KIT (sold separately) is available for
affixing the SENSORMANAGER to walls and railings.
The power supply for the SENSORMANAGER may also supply an external CS121 using a
SM-CS121 type cable (sold separately) by simply connecting the POWER OUT of the
SENSORMANAGER with the POWER IN of the CS121 external.
Startup the SENSORMANAGER
Connect the sensors to the SENSORMANAGER. Connect the SENSORMANAGER using the
Mini8-DBSub9 cable to the COM 2 port of the CS121. Finally, plug the power supply into one
of the UPS power outlets. Check the LEDs on the bottom of the SENSORMANAGER; the right
one should be flashing (reading request from CS121 COM2) and the left one should be
constantly lit (power supply on). The flashing LED shows the requests from the CS121, the
other LED shows that the device has started.
Figure 104: SENSORMANAGER II LEDs
otherwise the CS121 will not start making requests to the SENSOR
MANAGER.

Example:
Alarm INPUT contact
If the alarm contact INPUT is used, you may connect your alarm contact e.g. to INPUT 1 Pin 6
and Power supply Pin 1. In the CS121 you can configure that as a HIGH signal to the alarm is
set or the other way round.
OUTPUT contact
If you want to switch any relays or send high signals to the OUTPUT, you may connect your
for this signal. Now you may configure your Events in the CS121 to set the OUPUT to HIGH or
LOW.
Sensor connection
The sensor has to work within 0-10Volts, this may be connected directly to Channels 1-8, and
the CS121 will now show the values in its Web browser. Alarm thresholds and actions may be
configured via the EVENT manager of the CS121.
7.3.3 Special features of theSENSORMANANAGER II
Unlike the CS121 and the older SENSORMANAGER type, the new SENSORMANAGER II
configuration data will be stored in the device itself on a non-volatile chip. This result in a
different behaviour of the SENSORMANAGER II compared to the older SENSORMANAGER:
Acknowledged alarms are displayed in yellow in the status bar of the SENSORMANAGER II.
Not confirmed alarms are displayed in red (at older SENSORMANAGER always in yellow).
saves it configuration data in its internal ROM.

The 3 status diodes will be displayed in blue, if the communication between the CS121 and the
SENSORMANAGER II is lost.
The status site of the SENSORMANAGER II was changed. The analog measurement values
will be displayed vertical.
Figure 105: SENSORMANAGER II Status Site

7.3.4 Configuration
The SENSORMANAGER II provides the opportunity of the definition of pre-alarm-thresholds.
Beside the name of the input you also define here as shown above the alarm thresholds, the
sensor range and the measurement unit. Note, that the alarm values (low and high) are only
85
some basic sensor models are already listed, which you can choose to set predefined values
You can calibrate every sensor with the Sensor Range, that means if you want to rise a
measured value for 5°C, just modify the default range from 0-100 to 5-100. Therefore you are
able to adjust the measurement values like a gauged thermometer.

Furthermore it is possible to attach a timer value to each Outlet. This determinates how long
without any time limit.
Note: If you do not want to use a name for the Analog-, Digital Inputs or rather the
Outlets, please set the following into the single name area:

s to configure dependencies
between different alarm states and to logically combine them to different Event. This makes it
possible to process an alarm scenario in dependency of the status of several input sensors.
(For example: An alarm scenario is to be released only if two temperature sensors are out of
range or if the air condition is not active.
only if 2 or more other events are true)
86
Figure 108: Alarm matrix Marker configuration
In the figure above is shown the alarm matrix with its 8 markers to be set or unset. Each
marker thereby is a new state on which specific alarm scenarios can be released.
For example: In the figure above is configured that the Marker1 will be set, when at the
analogue that
Marker1 will be unset in case of an alarm at analogue input 1 or 3.) Furthermore marker 2 will
be set, when at the digital input 2 and at the analogue input 2 an alarm state occurs at the
same time. (Means that an alarm at just one input is not sufficient for setting marker 2)
Accordingly it is possible to set (or unset) each marker in dependency of different digital and/or
analogue input states.
After having defined the conditions when markers are to be set resp. unset, you can specify
the actions to be executed when a marker will be set/unset. Therefore you have two
possibilities: The first is to handle the actions through the event configuration, described later
in chapter 3.2.5 Events / Alarms. This is possible because each marker has its own event
The second possibility is to switch a relay output in dependency of the statue of one or several
markers. Therefore you have the output matrix, figured as below. In this example is configured
that Output 4 is to be switched on when Marker 1 or Marker 2 is set (or the opposite way

7.4 RASMANAGER
The RAS-Manager relays alarm signals coming from monitoring devices such as UPS,
SiteManagers, contact alarms and the like to monitoring stations or email receivers. Any
computer with RAS capabilities (Windows, Linux) can be used as a monitoring station. The
only requirement is the setup of an PPPServer on the monitoring station. After the
establishment of communications between the RAS-Manager and the monitoring station, a
RCCMD signal is sent that depending on configuration can either make log entries, send
emails and SMSs or execute programs.
Figure 111: RASMANAGER network integration
7.5 GSM Modem Notification via SMS

The CS121 firmware version 4.17.x provides a new function, which enables the notification via
SMS. Use the CS121 configuration cable (not included) and an adapter-connector (PINs 2, 3,
5, GENEREX order number: GSM_A) for the connection of the GSM modem and the CS121.
Note: It is required to disable the PIN-code request of the SIM-card.

7.6 LED-Matrix Display
The LED-Matrix display is a remote display unit for relaying RCCMD messages that can be
operated via the Ethernet.
Figure 118: LED-Matrix display network integration

Any device operating as an RCCMD Sender like a computer running UPSMAN software,
RCCMD clients, CS121 Web managers and other RCCMD 2 compatible products can send
text messages or environmental data values to the LED-Matrix and can add sounding alarms
for warnings that require immediate attention. Users can also use the built in Web server
interface of the LED-Matrix to relay alarms and messages without the use of an RCCMD
Sender. The user simply enters the message into the Web browser that is to be relayed
through the LED-Matrix.
For further information and description please take a look into the LED-Matrix User Manual.
7.7 MODBUS/PROFIBUS/LONBUS
MODBUS
Modbus is a serial communications protocol for use with its programmable logic controllers
(PLCs). It has become a de facto standard communications protocol in industry, and is now the
most commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for
communication between many devices connected to the same network, for example a system
that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a computer.
Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
The CS121-series (exclude BUDGET models) support MODBUS over IP and MODBUS over
RS232 generally. Additionally, the CS121MODBUS-series also includes an RS485 interface at
COM2, which can be connected to a 485Bus-system.
Note: MODBUS response changed: Now MODBUS will respond with "-9999"
or with "-1", if values are requested, which are not available at this UPS
or other device. This shall clearly identify that this value is "not
available".
91
Figure 119: CS121MODBUS Installation
PROFIBUS, LONBUS and other Field busses

PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus) is the most popular type of fieldbus with more than 14 million
nodes (2006) in use worldwide. PROFIBUS was defined in 1991/1993 as DIN 19245, moved in
1996 to EN 50170 and is since 1999 included in IEC 61158/IEC 61784 Standards.
To integrate the CS121 in a Profibus environment, GENEREX offers a Profibus gateway,
which converts the MODBUS output of the CS121 into PROFIBUS environment. The
implementation of LONBUS or any other GENEREX field bus converter takes place in similar
way.
Figure 120: CS121 PROFIBUS Installation

7.8 UNMS (UPS-Network Management System)
UNMS II is a UPS network monitor designed to inform you of emergency power supply
systems problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. The UNMS as a limited
version is part of every UPSMAN license (UPSMAN suite contains UPSMAN RS232/USB UPS
Manager, UPSMON Windows client and UNMS 2 limited to 9 UPS). The UNMS Server
Service runs intermittent checks on UPS devices you specify. When problems are
encountered, the UNMS Server Service can send notifications out to administrative contacts in
a variety of different ways (For example: Email). Current status information, historical logs, and
reports can all be accessed via a web browser (Web Console).
92
Figure 121: UNMS-Installation
7.9 SNMP
The CS121 can be monitored via web-browser, UPSView, MODBUS, PROFIBUS, LONBUS,
Email and SNMP (e. g. NAGIOS). The RFC1628cs121 SNMP MIB is at present.
The installation and setup of a SNMP browser is described into the Appendix.
MIB-Integration into your NMS

Standard-NMS Installations require for each device to be monitored its specific MIB
(Management Information Base). To monitore the CS121 the Standard-MIB for UPS-systems,
RFC1628, is generally to be integrated into your NMS.
To identify CS121 adapters in your network you may use the MAC address. The MAC address
of every CS121 adapter starts with 00-03-05-02-XX-XX, whereas this address can be found in
the Telnet menu (menu: IP address, gateway address, MIB system group).
Your SNMP adapter is now installed and fully functional. Please read the following for
configuration and functionality descriptions of the adapter.
The MIB is to be loaded onto each SNMP Management Station that is monitoring an UPS via
an UPS SNMP Agent. The MIB determines which UPS parameters can be monitored and
To complete the SNMP adapter installation and configuration process, you must compile the
necessary MIBs to configure the NMS. Any NMS with a MIB compiler can manage the SNMP
adapter.
control. The manager must have read permission to execute a get command and read / write
permission to execute a set command successfully.
93
For instructions on how to compile MIBs for the most popular NMSs - Novell's NetWare
Management Station, Hewlett-Packard´s OpenView Network Node Manager, and SunConnect;
SunNet Manager; see the corresponding heading below.
Please note that the CS121 uses the standard MIB, which is included in most SNMP software
already. This MIB is called UPSMIB and corresponds with the Standard RFC1628. In most
cases compiling of the MIB is not required as it can be found under:
iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib2.upsMIB
Please check your MIB directory before compiling the RFC1628!
Configure the NMS
Set/compile the device MIB, if there is no standard UPS MIB RFC 1628 (CS121 only!)
Add the SNMP adapter object to the management map and configuration of the events (e.g.
message to the operator)
Ping the SNMP adapter
Due to the different compilation procedures of the SNMP software products, it is not possible
to explain the general procedures in greater detail. The compilation of a MIB file is explained in
the general SNMP software manuals. Please contact the support, if you cannot resolve errors
using this manual.
After the compilation the UPS software can be polled via a MIB browser and data can be read.
Please choose the corresponding MIB variable or string of MIB variable and set the destination
address TCP/IP of the adapter. The adapter will answer with the UPS data.
Alternatively the Windows UPSMON, JAVAMON or the UPS SNMP WATCH of the DataWatch
Pro Software can be used. The UPS data will then be displayed graphically and internal UPS
information, which are only useful to the technical support, will be hidden. In addition to this,
the UPS SNMP WATCH is able to manage groups of UPS devices, in order to manage parallel
redundant UPS systems.
As an optional add-on for the HP OpenView software, a snap-in may be ordered for
UPSMAN/CS121.
Note: SNMP response changed: Now only those SNMP requests are
answered, which are present at this UPS or other device. Missing data
does no longer cause a return value "0" or "-1". An SNMP Walk will now
no longer return any OIDs, which are not supported by this UPS.

D. CS121 WDP Watchdog & Powermanager

The CS121 WDP is an optional Watchdog & Powermanager piggyback board for the
CS121/BACS series. It is a separate chipset, which can be attached to a CS121/BASC and it
works as a Hardware watchdog to reset (cold boot) the processor, if a heartbeat signal is not
received in an interval of 60 seconds.
Watchdog function: The watchdog starts 5 minutes after the CS121 has rebooted. If then the
Watchdog does not receive within 120 seconds no alive signal from the processor, it will
disconnect the power supply for a reset.
Powermanager function: Additionally this device checks the input power supply and blocks
the startup of the processor until the power supply is stabilized and has reached at least a level
of 8 Volt. This avoids startup problems at non stabilized power supplies or other power supply
problems in UPS slots.
106
This product is designed to work as add-on for all CS121 based products with an internal
connector such as all BACS WEBMANAGER BUDGET, CS121 SC,L,SCM,LM and the CS121
BUDGET series with 16MB flash ROM built after 2010.
Installation: To mount the CS121WDP Piggy Board on the CS121 Board, be sure, that the
power supply is disconnected. Plug the CS121WDP Board on the CS121-Board like in the
below pictures. The Piggy Board runs without any configuration and starts his functions
immediately after connection. For using the Watchdog functionality, a firmware release after
FW 4.28 is required. The Powermanager function is not depending on any FW level.

E. MODBUS Interface
E.1. General information
For remote control and monitoring of devices the MODBUS interface in each CS121 M can
read out measurement values, events, status and other information in a master-slave protocol.
Note: Please note that not all UPS models support all or specific measurement
values (e.g. battery low).
107
Communication Parameters:
ASCII Mode works at CS131 & CS121 platforms with communcation
parameters 7/E/2, or 7/E/1 or with 7/N/2 from baudrate 1200 to 38400. We
recommend for ASCII the use of 7/N/2 and the highest baudrate supported by
your device.
RTU Mode works at CS131 & CS121 platforms with communcation

parameters 8/E/1 or 8/N/2 or 8/N/1 or 8/E/2 or 8/O/2 or with 8/O/1 from
baudrate 1200 to 38400. We recommend for RTU the use of 8/E/1 and the
highest baudrate supported by your device.
MODBUS Parameter
If you receive faulty answers (Timeout Errors, Transaction ID Errors, Write Errors etc.), it may
be, that the polling cycle was defined to fast. This causes the non answered polling requests or
even a reboot of the CS121 through the integrated Watchdog, because the system is
overloaded. Further on it can come to delayed answers during the MODBUS over IP or rather
RS485 polling due to traffic into the bus or network, because the CS121 is a multi device,
which has to handle several tasks at the same time.
NOTE: Please define a response timeout of at least 2000ms (at a fast MODBUS over IP or
RS485 network/bus or rather higher accordingly, e.g. 4000ms at slow connections). The
timeout has to be increased until the errors stay out.
E.2. Available Modbus Function Codes

Implemented MODBUS functions in the CS121 M units:
01H Read Coils
02H Read Discrete Inputs
03H Read Holding Registers
04H Read Input Registers
05H Write Single Coil
Which functions are supported depends on the connected UPS. For standard UPS only
functions 03H and 04H are available. In this case the CS121 M makes no difference between
function 03H and 04H. The baud rate is adjustable up to 38400 Baud.
Note: Please note that the MODBUS adapter client allows a timeout of 40ms at
9600 baud for one value.

E.3. Exception Codes
Except for broadcast messages, when a master device sends a query to a slave device it
expects a normal response. One of four possible events can occur from the master's query:
If the slave device receives the query without a communication error, and can handle the query
normally, it returns a normal response.
If the slave does not receive the query due to a communication error, no response is returned.
The master program will eventually process a timeout condition for the query.
If the slave receives the query, but detects a communication error parity, LRC, or CRC, no
response is returned. The master program will eventually process a timeout condition for the
query.
If the slave receives the query without a communication error, but cannot handle it (for
example, if the request is to read a non existent register the slave will return an exception
response informing the master of the nature of the error.
Available Exception codes:
Code Meaning
01H Illegal Function:
The command received in the query is not defined.
02H Illegal Address:
The address received in the query is not defined for the slave.
04H Slave Device Failure:
Internal slave device error.
E.4. MODBUS Modes in the CS121 M (ASCII and RTU)
MODBUS Command
The following tables contain the general command descriptions and examples with ASCII and
RTU framing.
Read Words (Functions 03h and 04h)
For the CS121 there is normally no difference between these two functions.
Query:

H. Events/Alarms of the CS121 Description of the alarms

The Events/Alarms are different from UPS to UPS, depending on the UPS manufacturer. We
are describing in the following example the Events/Alarms of a NEWAVE UPS, which are
similar to most of the UPS. Anyway all alarms, which are not POWERFAIL, BATTERY LOW,
SYSTEM SHUTDOWN, UPSMAN STARTED and AUX, you should advice your UPS
manufacturer, because an UPS hardware failure might be present! The mentioned alarms are
universal. The POWERFAIL and BATTERY LOW alarm require a reaction, e. g. the
configuration of shutdowns of clients via RCCMD.
Event Description
UPS is on battery and the autonomy time decreases. ADVICE: The

RCCMD shutdowns will be set into this alarm, to send shutdown
Powerfail signals to the clients, if the powerfail will last longer!
Power Restored Power supply restored
This event is TRUE, if the remaining time is reached or rather undershot.
That means the autonomy time is only available for seconds, the UPS
System Shutdown shutdown is pending.
UPS service is started into the CS121. This event is always true, if the
CS121 is running and therefore ideal for permanent recurrent jobs
suitable like the forwarding of emails always after restart of the UPS or
UPSMAN Started to produce log file entries steady.
UPS Connection Lost UPS RS232 communication lost, CS121 tries to restore the connection.
UPS Connection Restored UPS RS232 communication restored
The autonomy of the battery has reached the defined threshold

"Battery Low". The UPS shutdown is pending. ADVICE: The RCCMD
shutdowns will be set into this event too, but without delay!
Battery Low (Emergency
Output breaker open. UPS is isolated from load. No supply of the
Output Breaker Open consumers.

L. RARITAN Dominion PDU Configuration

In the following, we will describe, how a RARITAN PDU Type Dominion can be controlled
through any RCCMD client or any CS121 or any other RCCMD compatible device :
1. Install a RCCMD client on a Windows OS and copy/create a file, like the following, into the
RCCMD directory (default C:\Program Files\RCCMD) and use a SNMPwalk tool from an open
source with the mandatory distribution txt-file « Copying.txt ». This file is included for legal
reasons (Open Source).
148
Figure 162:
The command is called « pxout.bat » and expect 4 parameters :
- IP address or hostname of the Raritan device

- SNMP community string (the one for write access)
- Outlet number (1 to 12)
- 0 = off, 1 = on
tes
and translates these into SNMP set commands for the Raritan.
IP address: This is the IP address of the Raritan

Community: This is the commun
Outlet: This is the number of the Raritan Outlet 1 to 12, which you want to switch.
On/Off
with the IP address 192.168.200.11, the outlet 4 to off!
If this works manually from your Windows RCCMD computer, than you can go ahead with step
3.
3. Now you have to select the desired CS121 event and add a RCCMD command, which will
located.
149
Figure 163: CS121 Configuration for such a relay command
The target of the RCCMD command is the Windows computer with RCCMD and the
with the IP address 192.168.200.41
the socket number 1 at the Raritan with the IP address 192.168.222.43 immediately.
Tip: You should stop RCCMD running in the background on this Windows computer, so you
will better see, whats going on. Stop the RCCMD service, than open a command line into the
you can watch the communication.
4. The Raritan with firmware 1.4.1 is unfortunetaley buggy. Here the workaround:
