Example SMDI.PFX File
The following sample file illustrates how you can set up the SMDI.PFX for a system
using a 10-digit Centrex application. In the sample, the system has three prefixes
(709513, 709514, 709515). Prefix 709513 is associated with mailboxes 7000 through
7500; prefix 709514 is associated with mailbox 7501; and prefix 709515 is associated
with mailboxes 7600 through 7650. The following SMDI.PFX file is used:
7000 7500 709513
7501 709514
7600 7650 709515
The second entry abov e can also be specified as:
7501 7501 709514
You can edit the SMDI.PFX file at any time. The system must, however, be restarted for
the changes you make to be recognized.

CHAPTER 11
Integrating with an Uninterruptible Power Supply
During a power failure, the messaging system files and the PC can be sev erely
damaged. Attaching an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) prov ides protection against
failures of a relativ ely short duration. Note, howev er, if there is a major power failure that
exceeds the life of the UPS’s battery, the PC can lose power and the messaging system
and PC can be damaged.
The UPS utility enables the messaging system to integrate with the UPS’s status and
recognize a potential interruption in operation before it occurs. The UPS utility can shut
down the messaging system to maintain system integrity, and then restart the messaging
system when power returns.
Procedures in this chapter will help you to:
·  Understand how the UPS utility works
·  Meet the requirements for running the UPS utility
·  Run the UPS utility
·  Run the UPS utility after system installation
·  Check the UPS’s current operating state

Implementation and Service Manual  Understanding How UPS Integration W orks11-2
 Understanding How UPS Integration Works
  Most UPSs hav e three states of operation:
· Normal Operation – The UPS is receiving power from the local utilities
company through the electrical outlet.
· Power Out – The UPS is not receiving power from the local utilities company,
and the UPS is supplying power to the PC.
· Low Battery – The UPS is still supplying power to the PC, but the battery is low
and the UPS may cease to supply power to the PC at any moment.
  W hen you run the UPS utility, the system learns how to recognize these three states of
operation.
  After the UPS is integrated, if a power failure occurs, the UPS monitor recognizes that
the UPS is supplying power to the system, and normal operation continues. If the power
failure is lengthy and the UPS reaches a low-battery state, the messaging system
immediately performs a shutdown. All idle and occupied ports are disabled immediately.
This procedure prev ents a shutdown with open files, which can cause data corruption.
  Because the UPS monitor still runs after the messaging system is shut down, UPS.EXE
also monitors for the restoration of power. After power returns to the PC and the UPS
recognizes a normal operating state, UPS.EXE signals the RUNVM.CMD file to restart
the messaging system. This minimizes system downtime.
 
Meeting the Requirements for Running the UPS Integration
Utility
  The following requirements must be met to run UPS integration:
·  The UPS you use must hav e a serial port connection. The UPS shipped with
new messaging systems has the required serial port connection.
·  A serial port on the PC must be dedicated to the UPS.
·  For the UPS utility to monitor the UPS, it must run in the background,
independent of the messaging system. During messaging system software
installation, the prompt, “Do you want the UPS monitor to load automatically
upon boot up?” displays. If you are going to run UPS integration during
installation, answer Yes to load the UPS.EXE file upon bootup. W hen
auto-loaded, UPS.EXE is executed and stays resident until the PC is restarted.
·  Some messaging systems use a serial integration to the phone system (for
example, Voice Bridge, DMID). You cannot run the Serial Integration utility,
howev er, while the UPS monitor is activ e, because there is a common
executable file (COMM.DLL) shared by the utilities. If you run the UPS
Integration utility and the messaging system is instructed to run UPS
automatically upon bootup, the UPS constantly runs in the background.
Consequently, if you attempt to run the Serial Integration utility after UPS
integration, the necessary file is not accessible to run the Serial Integration
utility. 
						

							11. Integrating with an Uninterruptible Power Supply
Implementation and Service Manual  Running the UPS Integrator Utility11-3
  There are two ways to av oid this file-sharing problem:
-  Run the Serial Integration utility before running the UPS Integration
utility.
-  If you need to run the Serial Integration utility after the UPS integration
has been run, close the UPS Monitor before running the Serial
Integration utility. To do this, click the UPS icon once and select Close.
After Serial Integration installation is complete, perform a shutdown and
restart the PC. The UPS automatically starts upon bootup.
Running the UPS Integrator Utility
Use the following procedure to integrate the UPS with the messaging system.
By default, the UPS Integrator only learns the normal and power-out states and interprets
any mask (an 8-digit binary image that represents the state of operation) that is not
recognized as either a normal or power-out state as a low-battery state and handles it
accordingly. You can change the default so that the system attempts to learn the UPS’s
low-battery state. This ensures that the system performs an automatic shutdown only
when a true low-battery state is reached. Howev er, you should only change the default if
you know that the UPS has a consistent low-battery mask. Consult the manual that came
with the UPS for more information.
Also, the UPS may require a signal to indicate that the system is monitoring UPS
operation. This signal can come from the DTR (data terminal ready) or RTS (request to
send) pin on the PC’s serial port. You can configure the UPS Integrator utility to set the
proper pin to signal the UPS. By default, the Request to Send pin is set to signal the
UPS. If the UPS requires the DTR pin to signal the UPS, or if you do not want any signal
sent, you can change the default. Before doing so, howev er, consult the UPS
documentation to determine if you should enable one or both of these options.

Implementation and Service Manual  Running the UPS Integrator Utility11-4
To run the UPS Integrator utility immediately following messaging system
installation:
1.  During messaging system installation, select UPS from the Installation Setup utility
dialog box. The UPS Integrator dialog box displays.
2.  From the Options menu, select Setup. The UPS Setup dialog box displays.
If the Power out and Low batter fields match the entries on the following screen, the UPS
utility has been preconfigured for you. Select Cancel to exit the UPS utility.
3.  If you do not want the system to attempt to learn the UPS’s low-battery state and you
do not want to change the pin-signaling default, proceed with step 4. If you do want
the system to attempt to learn the UPS’s low-battery state or you do want to change
the pin-signaling default, complete the following:
a.  Click Adv anced. The Adv anced Settings dialog box displays.
 
b.  If you want the UPS Integrator to attempt to learn the UPS’s low-battery mask,
disable the Low Battery Default option (remov e the check from the checkbox).
This enables the UPS Integrator to attempt to learn the UPS’s low-battery state.
c.  If you want to change the pin-signaling setting, change the Data Terminal Ready
and Request to Send options as appropriate for the UPS.
d.  To sav e the settings, click OK. The UPS Setup dialog box displays.
4.  In the Port field, select 1, unless you modified the system configuration to use
another serial port.
5.  If you know the Normal Operation, Power Out, and Low Battery masks of the UPS
connected to the PC, you can manually enter them in their respectiv e fields under
Masks on the UPS Setup dialog box, then proceed to step 9. See the UPS manual to
determine if the masks are prov ided. (For APC UPSs, the Normal mask is
00000000, the Power out mask is 00010000, and the Low batter mask is 10010000.)

  If you do not know the masks for the UPS, click Learn to start the Learn mode, which
enables the UPS monitor to establish the UPS signals. The system displays the
message, “Begin Learn Mode.” You can select Cancel at any time to abort the Learn
process.
6.  The system displays a message prompting you to v erify that the cable from the UPS
to the serial port is securely attached. Click OK. The system displays the message
“Learn normal state” as it learns the mask for the UPS’s normal operating state.
  After the system learns the normal operating state, it displays the message
“Disconnect power from the UPS.” This allows the system to emulate a power out
condition.
7.  Remov e the UPS power cord from the electrical outlet, then click OK. The system
then learns the power out state. If you did not change the default low-battery setting
in step 3, proceed to step 8.
  If the Low Battery Default option is disabled on the Adv anced Settings dialog box,
after the system learns the mask for the power out state, it continues running off the
UPS until the UPS reaches a low-battery state. There is a delay between learning
the power out state and learning the low-battery state mask as the system waits for
the power on the UPS to diminish.
8.  After the system learns the necessary states, the message “Reconnect power to
UPS” displays. Reconnect the UPS power cord to the electrical outlet, then click OK.
A dialog box displays the message “End Learn Mode.” After Learn mode is complete
or you manually enter the UPS’s masks, the system constantly monitors the current
mask and compares it to the recognized masks for each state to determine the
current state of UPS operation.
