OmniGuardTM UPS Power Management Software

1.0 Introduction

OmniGuardTM Power Management Software is a UPS environment control management application for Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, 2000, Linux and Solaris operating systems. OmniGuardTM Power Management Software monitors the UPS connected to the host system through a RS 232 serial cable with any remote system connected to this host through the Internet.

Through the system’s web browser, the user can monitor and change the host system’s IP, Date, and System Name. Also the provision for PPP configuration is provided through which the users in the remote system can connect/disconnect the dial-up connection. The software upgrade operation can be carried out from the remote system through the software upgrade option. These are the operations carried out in the host system/server where the UPS is connected physically.

The environment control screen displays the meter readings from the UPS. Logs are maintained for the UPS readings, and can later be viewed in a structured format. The duration in which the logs are recorded is user defined. The events are graphed for such parameters like Input voltage, Input frequency, Output Voltage, Output frequency and several other variables.

The user can configure the UPS for scheduled parameters like alarms, shutdown types, shutdown duration, restart duration etc. Specific and general schedules can be configured and monitored for all such events.
