events. The Configure menu allows you to add and delete UPSs for monitoring, set up the modem,
edit your password and install an upgrade license.
8.4.1 Device List Subfolders
The MultiLink Network consists of two subfolders: My Device List and Network Device List.
These subfolders are especially useful in organizing the UPSs and Liebert MultiLink installations to
be monitored.
• The My Device List subfolder contains the UPS that is powering the host computer and other
UPSs being hosted by this computer.
• The Network Device List subfolder allows you to add other Liebert MultiLink installations
anywhere on your network, enabling the System Administrator to keep tabs on multiple Liebert
MultiLink installations and their hosted UPSs from a single location.
8.4.2 Liebert MultiLink Event Source
The UPS designated as a computer’s event source is central to Liebert MultiLink’s monitoring
function. Events affecting the UPS chosen as the event source prompt Liebert MultiLink to issue
alerts, shutdown notifications and launch scripts. For details on designating a UPS as your event
source, use the Enable Actions check box as described in 8.3.3 - Properties - Setup Tab.
