Additional Test Results Using LAN Manager 2.1 UPS Service
---------------------------------------------------------

UPS switch settings:

  Switch    Position
  ------    --------

    4          OFF
    3          ON
    2          OFF
    1          ON

The UPS was connected to COM1 using an NSSI cable (part number 5970246-01).

LAN Manager UPS service configured for use with COM1 added the following line to
CONFIG.SYS:

  device=c:\<lan root>\drivers\upsdrv.os2

This driver must be installed before COM0x.SYS.

Additional Test Results Using LANSAFE
-------------------------------------

UPS switch settings used with LANSAFE:

  Switch     Position
  ------     --------
    4          ON
    3          ON
    2          ON
    1          OFF

LANSAFE AI+ OS/2 version 3.0 (NSSI part number 5722020-01) was installed
replacing the UPS service of LAN Manager because of the following additional
features and functionality:

- Power monitoring

- Power management

- Remote monitoring, shutdown, and reboot of IPS/A.I 800

To use LANSAFE remote IPS/A.I. console, the workstation must be running OS/2 and
have admin privileges on the server; the server must be running LANSAFE local
IPS/A.I Console.

The UPS was connected to COM1 using NSSI cable (part number 5970250 A). LANSAFE
replaces the UPS service of LAN Manager, and makes the following modifications
to CONFIG.SYS and STARTUP.CMD.

LANSAFE configured for use with COM1 adds the following line to CONFIG.SYS:

  device=c:\lansafe\ipsia.sys 03f8 4

Note: The UPS driver for LAN Manager should not be installed, and the UPS service
should not be started when using LANSAFE.

Modifications made to STARTUP.CMD:

  REM The next 5 lines start IPS/A.I. monitoring. DO NOT REMOVE!
  SETLOCAL
  C:
  CD C:\LANSAFE
  START IPSCON.EXE
  ENDLOCAL
