Introduction

Overview

The HP UPS Network Module works with HP Power Protector software to monitor, manage, and protect
power environments. The UPS Network Module can send email and text notification messages to configured
recipients and alert traps to specified SNMP management programs, such as HP Systems Insight Manager,
or used as a stand-alone management system.

NOTE: Text notification on mobile phones require the use of an external provider that converts

The HP UPS Network Module includes:

• HP UPS Network Module web interface—A graphical interface that is accessed with a web browser

• HP UPS Network Module Configuration Menu (on page 48)—A text-based menu that is accessed

emails into text notifications on mobile phones.

through a terminal emulation session

For a detailed list of supported UPSs, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).

Features

The UPS Network Module is a minislot card that requires UPSs equipped with a minislot. The UPS Network
Module:

• Monitors the status, performs UPS diagnostics, and transmits periodic reports.

• Manages independent UPS load segments to provide separate power control of connected equipment.

• Prioritizes the timing of equipment shutdown, and reboots connected equipment by load segment.

• Delays restart by load segment after a power outage to sequence the startup of system components.

• Shuts down and reboots the UPS and attached equipment, based on a user-specified schedule.

• Sends customized email, broadcast, and text notification messages and SNMP traps.

• Displays logs for analysis.

• Includes enhanced HP SIM integration.

• Includes multi-language support.

• Supports IPv4 and IPv6.

• Provides automatic date and time adjustment through an NTP server.

• Supports fast Ethernet 10/100 MB compatibility with auto-negotiation on the RJ-45 network port.

• Allows for installation while the UPS is online, to maintain the highest system availability.

When used in conjunction with the UPS Network Module, HP Power Protector:

• Manages an automatic, graceful shutdown of attached equipment during a utility power failure.

• Issues computer commands at power failure.
