Configure UPS powering the Console Server

A Monitored UPS is a UPS that is providing the power to the Console Server. The purpose of configuring a Monitored UPS
is to provide an opportunity to perform any "last gasp" actions before power is lost during a power failure. This is achieved by
placing a script in /etc/config/scripts/ups-shutdown. You may use the /etc/scripts/ups-shutdown as a template. This script is run
when then UPS reaches critical battery status.
• If the Console Server is drawing power through a Managed UPS that has already been configured, select Local, enter the
Managed UPS Name and check Enabled. The Console Server continues to be the master of this UPS
• If the UPS that powers the Console Server is not a Managed UPS for that Console Server, then the Console Server can
still connect to a remote NUT server (upsd) to monitor its status as a Slave. In this case, select Remote, and enter the
address, username and password to connect.
