which removes the need for additional site visits to restart
equipment. It also enables prolonged runtime of essential
equipment during power outages by allowing orderly remote
shutdown of non-critical systems and processes.
Connection to IP networks
There are two ways of connecting a UPS to an IP network:
• addingaWeb/SNMPcardtotheUPS,whichbecomesthe
interfacetothenetwork;
• usinganearbyPCorserverconnectedtothenetworkasa
proxy.
Network Management Card
Web/SNMP cards are recommended for central UPS systems that
protect a complete network or for UPS systems providing back-
up for critical equipment. When the card is fitted, the UPS has its
own IP address with local intelligence to:
• servewebpageswithreports,settingsandalarms;
• plugintoSNMP-basednetworkmanagementsystemssuch
as Openview, IBM, Tivoli Netview and Computer Associates
Unicenter;
• communicatewithshutdownsoftwareinstalledontheserv-
ers to be protected.
Network Management Proxy
The Web/SNMP Proxy is a more economical solution for small
UPS systems. It allows a UPS to be controlled over the network
without adding to the basic cost of the UPS. The proxy software
agent is installed on the system to which the UPS is connected
via a USB or RS232 port. The Web/SNMP Proxy agent is used to
manage a UPS remotely using a standard browser or network
management system.
Improve equipment reliability and guarantee data integrity
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) are used as backup systems in case of a power failure to prevent downtime.
This type of protection is essential, but is only fully effective if the user is in control of the situation. With Eaton´s Power
Management Solutions, the user is notified immediately of the status of the power quality and distribution system and
can initiate automatic actions depending on the events, control the system remotely and manage it more effectively.
