Installation/Network Integration of a CS141
1. Enabling of configuration mode

4.1. Add the route of the standard IP address on your computer
1. Open the “DOS Command Prompt” or
2. execute “cmd.exe”
3. Enter the following command:
„route add 10.10.10.10 <local IP Address>”
(for example:
“route add 10.10.10.10 192.168.222.54” )
4. Execute the command "ping 10.10.10.10" to check
if the device is reachable.
Advice: The CS141 needs approximately 30 seconds
to start the webserver. If the webserver runs, the LED
will changes from red (booting) to green and starts
blinking.
4.2. Automatic search with the tool "Netfinder"

10. Sending shutdown signals to computers on the network
For shutting down a computer in case of a power
failure it is necessary to install an RCCMD client on
it. Some configurations into the event management of
the adapter have to be done, too.
Installation of the RCCMD client
1. Download the setup file from the UPS-
Management CD or from from the internet.
2. Each RCCMD installation requires a seperate
license key. For some products, a license key is
included. More licenses are available at your
supplier.
