Liebert OpenComms Nform is a network
communications system that will
enable you to leverage the distributed
monitoring capabilities of your network
connected equipment.
When Systems Are Critical…
Monitoring Is Not An Option
OpenComms Nform software
solution combines full-scale
monitoring with cost-effective
deployment through the use of the
existing network infrastructure —
so the cost of dedicated, out-
of-band communications cabling is
eliminated. It is both scalable and
adaptable so it can grow as your
systems expand and needs change.
The software can be configured
to monitor your network for alarm
notifications from Liebert power
protection and precision cooling
equipment. These alarms, or
SNMP traps, can be received by
the software and processed to
trigger event actions such as
e-mail alerts or local notifications.
For ease of use, the OpenComms
Nform graphical user interface
enables you to view device status
conditions through either a native
SNMP interface or an HTML web
browser interface. The Alarm Log will
manage all alarms that are received
by OpenComms Nform.
OpenComms Nform will monitor
any Liebert SNMP devices that
support a network interface, such as
the OpenComms Web card and the
OpenComms NIC. The customizable
navigation tree provides the
flexibility to design an OpenComms
Nform user interface around your
network layout. Authenticated alarm
management and event notification
ensures that alarms are detected
and acted upon, which allows
problems to be quickly resolved.

One Company, Providing
You a Complete High-
Availability Solution
Connecting to equipment in the
distributed critical space is only
part of the monitoring challenge.
Liebert OpenComms Nform
leverages the network connectivity
capabilities of your Liebert
equipment to provide a centralized
monitoring view of your distributed
equipment. Utilizing the SNMP and
Web technologies built into each of
the OpenComms communication
cards, OpenComms Nform will
centrally manage alarm notifications
to provide you with an easy interface
to access critical status information.
OpenComms Nform effectively
eliminates the need for expensive
third-party monitoring applications.
The Liebert "turn-key" approach to
communications and monitoring
minimizes your installation and
maintenance costs, consolidates
your view of the critical space
status, and maximizes your uptime
through automated notifications
of alarm conditions.
OpenComms Nform centralizes
the management of your distributed
Liebert network equipment.
