•Supports in-service installation and upgrades without interrupting critical loads (most models)
•Complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) by EU
With the growth in distributed computing, computing and communication resources reside in multiple remote locations—and so do the uninterruptible power systems (UPSs) that protect them. Eaton ConnectUPS Web/SNMP cards enable you to monitor and control remote UPSs from Web browsers or industry-standard network management systems. A complete family addresses
a broad range of Eaton UPS models, installation options (internal, external), communications (Web, SNMP or both), and network rates (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or both):
•ConnectUPS-MS connects to the Mini-Slot and BestDock slot on an Eaton UPS; these cards support real-time Web and SNMP communication over 10/100BaseT Ethernet connections
•ConnectUPS-X connects to the X-Slot® on an Eaton UPS; these cards support real-time Web and SNMP communication over 10/100BaseT Ethernet connections and serve as a power-protected switching hub to support three additional 10/100BaseT links
•ConnectUPS-BD supports
Eaton UPSs that feature BestDock ports, and provides real-time, Web-based and SNMP-based monitoring and control over 10/100BaseT Ethernet connections
•ConnectUPS-E provides equivalent real-time capabilities in an external device, specifically designed for legacy Powerware® 9150 and 9305 UPSs
•ConnectUPS BestLink is an external module specifically designed for monitoring and controlling Eaton FERRUPS® UPSs
Real-time monitoring
Gain up-to-the-minute assurance that computing and communication systems are receiving the continuous, clean power they demand. Through easily navigable Web pages, network administrators can check system status and view critical meter information, such as input and output voltage, UPS load, battery voltage and condition, at any time.
Simply point your Web browser to the IP address of the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP card for a display of current status. You can access this information from a PC, Internetready wireless device or SNMP management software.
Visibility via the Web
ConnectUPS-MS,
ConnectUPS-X, ConnectUPS-
BD, ConnectUPS-E and
BestLink options support standard Web browsers, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. Displays also have been designed for simplified
viewing using mobile phone or PDA (personal digital assistant) browsers—enabling systems managers to stay informed even when away from their mission-critical workstations and servers.
Integration with standard SNMP management software
You can use an industrystandard network management system (NMS)—such as HP OpenView, IBM Director, Tivoli or CiscoWorks 2000—to monitor power conditions across the enterprise and to manage remote UPS systems and the operating systems they protect.
View critical power parameters over the
Web from your PC, mobile phone or PDA.
Rapid notification via e-mail speeds corrective action.
Automatic notification of alarm conditions
ConnectUPS options send realtime alert notifications to four designated recipients via e-mail, PCS mobile phone or pager, and via SNMP traps to an NMS or network messaging to Eaton NetWatch software. Each recipient has the option of receiving real-time event messages, daily status reports based on criticality, containing data and event log files, or a combination of routine reports and event notifications.
Full support for UPS MIB and beyond
For monitoring and managing remote UPSs through an NMS, ConnectUPS options support not only the standard UPS MIB (management information base) SNMP structure, but also Eaton extensions to that MIB structure, which enable advanced functions that are not addressed in the RFC-1628 standard.
Remote administration of UPSs
From a Web browser or NMS, which may be hundreds or thousands of miles away, a system administrator can shut down or reboot a remote UPS, perform remote UPS battery tests, and set up scheduled shutdowns of UPSs and associated servers. The ability to shut down or restart systems without a site visit dramatically reduces field service expense and response time. Scheduled shutdowns can be devised
to conserve power or tighten security during specific time periods, such as evenings or weekends.
