LANtastic Network Operating System v4.00 Compatibility Testing Report
Product Reviewed: Tripp Lite LAN UPSes
Classification: UPS
Date: 11/26/91
Engineer: JAG
Compatibility Statement
The Tripp Lite BC/LAN and Omni/LAN UPS lines are compatible with LANtastic
NOS 4.xx and the LANtastic NOS 4.0 UPS monitoring utility (UPS.EXE).
Product Overview
Tripp Lite's LAN UPSes 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. Tripp Lite provides a serial interface cable (part #73-665) 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 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 Tripp Lite serial cable. (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 would look like this:
aex
ailanbio
redir Host
share
server
UPS
See the README.DOC file for information on customizing the UPS.EXE utility.
