The process status has changed from one of the following states to another: Unknow, On Line, On Battery, On Smart Boost, Timed Sleeping, Software Bypass, Off, Rebooting, Switched Bypass, Hardware Failure Bypass, Sleeping Until Power Return, and On Smart Trim.

Causes

If the UPS is unable to determine the state of the UPS, this variable is set to Unknown. A low input voltage variation has caused the APC UPS to change its normal state to On Smart Boost before going to battery operation.The UPS Status screen displays the current load on the unit and whether the UPS is running from utility power or battery power. Also displayed here is the Internal Temperature, Output Voltage, Input Voltage and Output Frequency.

Resolutions

The UPS status will go back to Standby, once the external energy source returns to normal. The unknown status will change once the UPS Status reaches a recognizable state.Check if batteries are still in good condition and online voltage is present. Also, verify if the UPS hardware is working properly. Once the UPS goes back to having a normal energy provision, this state will return to a normal if it is On Battery status.
