LANtastic Network Operating System Compatibility Bulletin
Product Reviewed: American Power Conversion Back-UPS series
Classification: Un-interruptible Power Supplies
Date: 03/15/93
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility Statement
The APC BackUPS and SmartUPS product lines are compatible with LANtastic NOS
4.xx and 5.xx and the LANtastic NOS UPS monitoring utility (UPS.EXE).
Product Overview
The BackUPS and SmartUPS products can be used in conjunction with LANtastic NOS
4.0's UPS.EXE (UPS monitoring utility), to safely shut-down a server during a power
failure. APC provides a Serial Interface Kit (#940-0020) that provides the hardware
interface to signal the UPS.EXE utility at the time of power loss, allowing the server
program to safely shut down before the UPS is depleted. If utility power returns before
the server shuts down, the UPS will signal the server again and the impending shut
down will be canceled. See the LANtastic NOS 4.0 README.DOC file or the LANtastic
4.1 Upgrade Manual for a complete description of the UPS.EXE utility.
Product Installation Notes
The UPS.EXE utility is automatically copied to the server's hard drive during the
LANtastic installation procedure. Two basic steps are required to enable UPS
monitoring on the server: (1) Connect the UPS to an available serial port on the server
using the serial cable provided in APC's interface kit. (2) Modify the STARTNET.BAT
(or other batch file that brings up the NOS) to include the UPS utility. For example, a
batch file for a system using Artisoft's AE3 adapters and with the UPS serial cable
attached to COM 1 would look like this:
