Monitor Different Server...

If you have a workstation that is not part of a network, the Monitor Different Server... option is dimmed and unavailable to you.

Note:
On UNIX systems, TCP/IP must be installed for client workstations to monitor servers. On PC-based UNIX systems, if no network card is present, you will be able to monitor only the local system. PowerChute plus for SCO UNIX, however, can monitor only local systems regardless of TCP/IP and network card availability.

If your workstation is part of a network and you have the necessary authorization, perform the following steps to monitor an APC UPS connected to another server.

  1. Choose Monitor Different Server... from the System menu to display the Monitor Server dialog box:

  2. Select a server from the list of servers. The list displays servers on the same UNIX subnetwork as the machine on which you are logged in.

  3. Click OK.

  4. Type the password for the pwrchute user account, and choose OK. (The password was assigned by the person who installed PowerChute plus.)
