I have a 918 and there was no configuration in sysgen.  Only nmmgr, DTC and
both user port and ups have function keys.

Subject:        Re: UPS, 918LX, and no DTC

Jim,
Your biggest problem will be to identify the physical hardware path for the
UPS comms port, I do not have access to a 9x8. I have tried ODE's MAPPER
before, but with no success.

My guess for the path would be 56/56.2 or 56/56.3, can somebody with a 9x8
just confirm?

The 9x8 has a UPS comms port at the back, and is configured by the UPS port
screen in NMMGR.
  Logical Device [22  ]   (1 - 4679)
  Line Speed     [1200 ]  (300, 1200, 2400, 9600, or 19200 bps)
  Parity         [NONE]   (None, Even, Odd, 0's, or 1's)

And in SYSGEN: (This is for a 1,8 KVA UPS on a 979KS400, your ID and path
will differ.)
     io> ld 22
 LDEV:    22  DEVNAME:                    OUTDEV:       22   MODE:  JAID

   ID: HPA2994A                           RSIZE:        40   DEVTYPE: TERM

 PATH: 10/4/0.3                           MPETYPE:      16   MPESUBTYPE:  0

CLASS: HPUPSDEV



Use UPSUTIL.MPEXL.TELESUP to finally check the status of the UPS comms.

Regards
Fred Metcalf

What is the proper way to configure the UPS port (LDEV 22) on a 918LX
when you don't have a DTC installed on the network?  The examples
given in HP's Instant Info CD (this product is an advance???? over
what?) apparently presumes that one will always have a DTC configured
into the system.
