1 MGE Network Solution

1.1Introduction

Zprovides information on events concerning the supply of power to the computers connected to your computer network,

Zcarries out automatic shutdown of computer systems,

Zmonitors and controls all the UPSs connected to the network.

As illustrated in the picture below, MGE Network Solution provides these 3 main functions:

Zconnecting the UPS to the Network,

Zprotecting the computers,

Zmonitoring the UPSs over the Network

1.1.1 Connecting the UPS to the Network

This function can be performed either through network Cards inserted in the UPS (Network Management Card) or through a software “agent” running on a nearby PC that is called the Network Management Proxy.

The Network Management Card or Proxy:

Zmanages communication with the UPS (as well as local protection of the machine on which Proxy is installed),

Zperiodically accesses the information concerning the UPS,

T H E U N I N T E R R U P T I B L E P O W E R P R O V I D E R

Network Management Card – User Manual 34003676EN/GA Page 4/69

www.mgeups.com

Network

Management Cards

User Manual

Zmakes this information available to the connected applications (Network Shutdown Modules, Web Browser, Network Management Systems, Enterprise Power Manager)

Operation may be in standard secure mode (the default mode) or in SSL secure mode (Secure Socket Layer SSL).

1.1.2 Protecting the computers / servers

This function is performed by the Network Shutdown Module installed on each of the servers to be protected. Note that the Shutdown Module is available on several Operating Systems.

The Network Shutdown module:

Zcontinuously waits for information from the Network Management Card / Proxy connected to the MGE UPS.

Zwarns administrators and users if AC power fails and proceeds with graceful system shutdown before the

end of battery backup power is reached.

1.1.3 Monitoring the UPSs over the network

Depending on your needs, you can either use:

Zyour Internet browser to monitor each UPS, as Management Proxy and Management Card include a Web server.

Zyour company’s standard Network Management System (HP-Openview, CA Unicenter, HP Insight Manager, IBM Tivoli Netview). To simplify integration of MGE UPSs with these NMS, you can use one of the Network Management System Kits for MGE devices. These kits are available on Management Pac 2 CD-Rom. (ref 66923)

Zthe MGE supervisor " Enterprise Power Manager "

1.1.4 Connection

Before installing the MGE Network Solution, the UPS must be set up as indicated in the steps below.

ZShut down the computers to be protected by the UPS.

Connect the UPS to a wall outlet. (For UPSs above 3kVA, please refer to the UPS installation manual)

ZConnect the power cord of each computer to an outlet on the UPS. (For UPSs above 3kVA, please refer to the UPS installation manual)

1.1.4.1

How to connect UPS / agent / network :

Z

Insert the optional card in the UPS and connect the UPS to the computer network.

Z

Start the MGE UPS, then the computers.

1.1.4.2

Setting up the protection

ZSet up the Network Management Card (see user manual).

ZInstall Network Shutdown Module on all machines that are to be protected by the UPS (supplied with UPS battery backup power).

The software components for each platform and the user manuals are supplied free-of-charge on the SolutionPac 2 CD or are available for download on the www.mgeups.com Web site, in the “Download area” section”

1.2Presentation of the Network Management Cards (NMC)

MGE provides 2 different form factors for its Network Management Cards :

ZNMC Minislot for UPS systems like the Evolution, EXtreme C, Pulsar EX RT, Pulsar/Comet DX series.

ZNMC Transverse for UPS systems like the Galaxy 3000, Galaxy 5000, Galaxy PW, Pulsar and Comet EXtreme series. Other MGE UPS systems (3-phase Comet, Galaxy, EPS 6000) can be remotely managed

using the Network Management Link

.

The Network Management Cards acquire information on the operation status of the UPS systems and provide remote control of these systems by means of an ETHERNET network from any SNMP administration station or Web browser. They also supply alarms to the Network Shutdown Modules to trigger shutdown or other automatic actions for protected servers.

A simple html browser is used for supervision and configuration.

Network Management Cards are compatible with all MGE UPS SYSTEMS supervision / protection systems:

ZNetwork Shutdown Modules

ZEntreprise Power Manager

ZManagement-Pac 2

1.3Presentation of the Environment Sensor solution

The Environment Sensor solution comprises a box to be connected to the Card Settings port of the Network Management Cards:

Environment Sensor enables measurement of temperature and humidity around the UPS, consideration of external alarms via 2 dry contacts and notification of alarms according to pre-programmed thresholds.

1.4Direct sending of E-mail

When a UPS event occurs, the Network Management Card can directly notify up to 4 intranet or extranet addressees by e-mail (see Email Notification and Email Message Settings).

1.5Sending text messages (SMS)

SMS messages can be sent by specific configuration of the e-mail function via the internet access providers making the e-mail / SMS transfer.

1.6Compatibility with the Network Management Systems (NMS) – Trap sending

The Network Management Cards are compatible with the major Network Management Systems (IBM Tivoli, CA Unicenter, HP Insight Manager ..),. The Management-Pac 2 offering includes the necessary SNMP plug-in to allows an easy integration in the NMS. Events are notified by SNMP trap

ZNMS can subscribe on page “Notified Application

ZSNMP sequences are described in chapter “Server protection”

The trap list can be looked over in the document “Agent's MIB description” available on mgeups.com

1.7Compatibility with the legacy Solution-Pac WAN offering

Network Management Card is compatible with the legacy protection module UM-Client and since the FA release also with the updated protection module Network Shutdown Module . It is possible to use the both modules on the same card, therefore, MGEUPS recommends to use the Network Shutdown Module on new installations.

The Check column proposes six different commands, and a command is only actually started after clicking on

'Execute':

“Safe power down”: a sequence to switch off output power is launched immediately. The symbol representing the output flashes, indicating that the sequence is in progress. The systems supplied are shut down correctly while the shutdown sequence is running, then the output is cut.

“Safe power down & reboot”: A sequence to switch off then restore output power is launched immediately. The symbol representing the output flashes, indicating that the shutdown sequence is in progress. The powered systems are shut down correctly during the shutdown sequence, then the output is switched off. Finally, the restart sequence is launched at the end of the time delay specified in the “Toggle duration” parameter. The output status is updated.

Immediate On”: a sequence to switch on output power is launched immediately. The output is re-powered and the systems supplied start up again correctly.

Delayed, safe power down”: this is the same switch off sequence as for the “ Safe power down ” command, but postponed by the number of seconds programmed in the “Off Delay” parameter.

Delayed, safe power down & reboot:” this is the same switch off then on sequence as for the Safe power down & reboot ” command, but postponed by the number of seconds programmed in the “ Off Delay ” parameter.

Delayed On ”: this is the same switch on sequence as for the “ Immediate On ” command, but postponed by the number of seconds programmed in the “ On Delay ” parameter.

3.2.6 Shutdown parameters

Z Click on the “Shutdown parameters” section in the menu to see the list of parameters.

Important note:

For installations that do not use Network Shutdown Module (backup units, routers and other internetworking equipment, automated systems, etc.) or in the event of long backup periods, the card will send a command to the UPS to shut off end of the programmed Shutdown After time. To prevent this, the Shutdown After box must be not selected (default)

This page enables viewing and configuration of UPS operation parameters in battery mode and for power restoration.

When you tick the Show advanced parameters option, extra parameters are displayed. These parameters enable, in particular, adjustment of certain thresholds related to the percentage of remaining battery charge level.

The Output column enables each output to be named (maximum 30 characters).

Note

Priority is given to the main outlet, so the card does not accept configurations where the auxiliary outlets can be supplied while the main outlet is switched off

For the main outlet (Master)

ZShutdown after is the operating time in minutes left for users after a switch to backup before starting the shutdown sequences of the UPS and its equipment (from 0 to 1092).

ZIf remaining time under (from 0 to 9999 seconds) and If Capacity under (from 0 to 100%) are two extra conditions for remaining backup time and battery level that can trigger shutdown sequences before the “Shutdown after” period runs out

ZShutdown duration is the time required for complete shutdown of systems when a switch to backup time is long enough to trigger the shutdown sequences. It is calculated automatically at the maximum of Shutdown duration of subscribed clients but can be modified in the Advanced mode

ZRestart after is the minimum shutdown time before restarting the UPS after a shutdown sequence. It is thus possible to limit repeated restarts that may be due to several successive utility failures.

ZIf the Battery is charged for and If Capacity exceeds are two extra conditions for minimum battery level and maximum recharge time to be reached before restarting the UPS after utility restoration

For controlled outlets (group 1 or group 2 ), the page enables programming of operation time and level in backup mode to manage outlet load shedding in the event of electric power failure:

ZSwitch Off after (from 0 to 65534).defines the time during which the outlet is supplied starting from the moment of utility failure. Caution, this time includes the outlet shutdown duration.

ZSwitch Off if capacity under is an extra condition for outlet shutdown that can trigger the shutdown sequence before shutdown duration runs out.

ZShutdown duration is the time required for complete shutdown of the systems supplied by the outlet when an outlet shutdown sequence is launched.

It is calculated automatically using the maximum shutdown durations of subscribed clients.
