Connection to IP networks

Home > Products > Power Management > Network > Connection

There are 2 ways of connecting a UPS to an IP network:

adding a network management 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

These cards are recommended for central UPS systems that protect a complete network
or for UPS systems providing back-up for critical equipment.
With its embedded card, the UPS has its own IP address with local intelligence to:

serve Web pages with reports, settings and alarms;

interface with SNMP-based network management consoles such as HP Openview, IBM Tivoli Netview and Computer Associates Unicenter;

communicate with shutdown software installed on the servers to be protected.

For UPSILON STS supervision, use the XML/Web card.

Network Management Proxy

The NMP 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 NMP agent provides both XML and SNMP protocols and is used to manage a UPS
remotely using a standard browser or a network management console.
