In order to be able to send to or receive information from a UPS over a network, the UPS must be connected to the network first.
This can be achieved directly or indirectly.

Indirect Connection

This solution is the most cost effective
The UPS uses the resources of a computer system which is connected to the network via a Network Interface Card
Our solutions are either Personal Solution-Pac or the UM Agent module of Solution-Pac/WAN
(both come as standard with any UPS with a U-Talk protocol).



Direct Connection

The UPS can also be directly connected to the network through a UM Link or an SNMP card (Pulsar ESV+, EX only)
which both act as Network Interface Cards.




Benefits of Direct Network Connection

The UPS has its own IP address
The UPS can be reached even though the server is down
This solution is required for critical applications
