BULLDOG Plus software is comprised of two modules: BULLDOG Service

and BULLDOG Monitor. You may run both the programs in a computer to

monitor your localized UPS or run the programs in two different computers.

1. Operation Mode:

BULLDOG Service can operate in "Master" Mode (which allows

BULLDOG to send commands to its connected UPS) in "Serial Slave"

mode (which listens to its connected UPS) or in "Networking Slave" mode

(which obtains the UPS information from Master via the network). If two or

more computers are communicating with a single UPS, only one of these

computers should be in Master mode; the others should be in Slave mode

to prevent them from sending contradictory commands.

When a power event occurs, the Master gets the information then

transmits it to Salve(s). Each BULLDOG Service executes different

"Actions"(FlexEvent) so that the system manager can configure different

strategies into each different computer. For example: When a power

failure occurs, the file server and mail server won't shutdown until the UPS

battery is low, but other less important workstations execute shutdown

after 5 minutes, and the initial workstations shutdown after 10 minutes.

Shutting down workstations preserves more battery power for your mission

critical network servers.

2. Remote Monitoring and Control:

Bulldog Monitor has the ability to monitor Local hosts and Remote hosts.

Networking

Belkin Components 10

You can run only Bulldog Monitor without running Bulldog Service. Bulldog

Monitor will search hosts in the LAN(Local Area Network) which runs

Bulldog Service in the combo box. Click on the Host Selection combo box

to list the searched hosts in the LAN. Select one, then Bulldog Monitor will

connect to the selected host.

If the host is located on the Internet, you can also input the remote host IP

address from the View Menu-Remote Hosts menu shows the hosts you

can establish connections with.

3. Remote Monitoring and Control: Internet Browser.

Another way to remote monitor Bulldog Service is by using the Internet

Browser. Launch the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
