Galaxy Manager

1 Overview / Introduction

Galaxy Manager enables the secure and timely management of geographically distributed power systems. Its graphical interface gives the user an intuitive view of the status of all sites and their systems on geographic maps. Continuously recorded site data as well as the system configuration are maintained in a relational database. Users can drill down through the maps or site listings to view specific equipment readings, print various reports, and interact with various graphical charts. At all times, the server is continuously monitoring for alarm conditions and status changes across the sites being managed. All collected data and monitored sites are also remotely accessible through the network from the Galaxy Manager, permitting password protected configuration changes and upgrades.

Alarm data for sites being monitored can be viewed from geographic regional maps, through a live alarm viewer. Past site alarms are also available in a history log. Several power management utilitiy tools are provided, including a system cable sizing tool and a battery reserve/ recharge time calculator that uses the data from a specific site and provides data for "what if" scenarios. Direct links to Lineage Power internet pages are also provided to permit easy access to product data sheets, manuals, and ordering guides. (External sites will not be accessible if the system is not connected to the Internet). Galaxy Manager is furnished by Lineage Power as a complete hardware and software package, requiring only a 10Base-T (RJ-45) physical connection to the user’s LAN/WAN intranet network. To be monitored by Galaxy Manager, equipment must be accessible on this intranet through one of the following:

• a Galaxy Gateway monitoring and control system

• a Galaxy Manager Portal

• another Galaxy Manager compatible data gathering unit.

This manual introduces Galaxy Manager and the views and controls it offers. Help and guidance with specific issues may be requested via an email to Lineage Power at galaxy.manager@lineagepower.com. Please be sure to include your return email address so that we may respond. Your suggestions and questions are welcomed so that we may continue to improve the product.
