Orderly shutdown
of remote operating systems
When alarm conditions persist
for a specified period, from 1–
600 seconds, the ConnectUPS
initiates orderly shutdown of
affected equipment. Using
NetWatch software (which
is included with ConnectUPS
products and loaded on the pro-
tected computers), up to 255
Windows, Novell, Macintosh,
and UNIX/Linux computers can
be gracefully shut down with-
out operator intervention. This
capability ensures data integrity
during a power outage that
exceeds UPS backup time.
The system manager auto-
matically receives warning
messages when (A) the UPS
has shifted to battery power,
(B) battery power is getting
low or (C) orderly shut-down
procedures are being initiated.
You define exactly how to man-
age this shutdown—such as
how long after going to battery
power to begin shutdown, and
how to stage the shutdown of
servers by importance.
If the UPS supports indi-
vidual control of load seg-
ments (groups of outlets), the
ConnectUPS detects these load
segments and provides the
appropriate level of service to
each, as configured by the
system administrator.
Track and record detailed
historical data
ConnectUPS-MS,
ConnectUPS-X, ConnectUPS-
BD, BestLink and ConnectUPS-
E modules have built-in data
and event logs that track and
record specific power-related
occurrences over time, at user-
defined increments as fine as
one-minute intervals.
Graph historical trends for
rapid analysis
A JAVA applet on these four
ConnectUPS options graphs
data and event log values over
time, making it easy to analyze
chronic power problems and
identify trends and cause-and-
effect relationships. Zoom and
data masking functions pinpoint
specific anomalies for further
investigation. Text-based event
logs contain easy-to-understand
event descriptions with corre-
sponding date and time stamp.
Integrated switching
hub capability
The ConnectUPS-X module
serves double duty as a switch-
ing hub for three additional
power-protected 10/100BaseT
Ethernet connections, thereby
eliminating the expense of buy-
ing a separate switching hub
and a UPS to protect it.
Monitoring remote
environmental conditions
ConnectUPS modules operates
with the Eaton Environmental
Monitoring Probe (EMP) to
remotely monitor the ambient
temperature and humidity of
the remote environment, as
well as the status of two addi-
tional contact devices, such as
a smoke detector or open-door
sensor. This information can be
used to trigger alarm notifica-
tions and automated shutdown.
In-service installation
and upgrades
ConnectUPS modules can be
installed without interrupting
critical loads, and can be easily
updated over network connec-
tions. A simple network-based
utility is used to discover and
update multiple ConnectUPS
modules on the network.

model—and which ConnectUPS
models are right for your Eaton
UPSs—refer to the chart on the
next page.
Eaton NetWatch Client 5.0 has tested compatible
with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 4.3.
