Networking 
 
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. 
 
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. 
 
Remote Monitoring and Control:   
Bulldog Monitor has the ability to monitor Local hosts and Remote hosts.
