Information on Installing UPS Monitoring

ID: Q62865

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft LAN Manager, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.1a, 2.2

SUMMARY

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) monitoring can be enabled by installing the UPS.SYS device driver and the UPS.EXE service.

The only parameter available for the UPS.SYS device driver is /PORT, which allows you to select which COM port is monitored. The default is COM1; therefore, to explicitly select the COM port the following syntax must be used:


    device=<drive>:<path>\UPS.SYS /PORT:COM2

The UPS.EXE service has an parameter not mentioned in the installation guide: /DEVICENAME. It allows you to set the device driver the service monitors to one other than the default driver, "UPS_DEV" (the name that UPS.SYS registers with the system).

A UPS device driver development kit is available from Microsoft.
