Running mission-critical applications and connecting widely-distributed nationwide and global
operations are key strategic initiatives in today’s
business organizations. The ability to provide a
steady, clean and undisturbed power flow to IT
hardware in the network is paramount in keeping
the systems available at all times.
However, the primary purpose of the IT infrastructure is to process, store and protect the
information that is stored or en-route in the network. The data itself, and the ability to move it
and process it at any given time, is priceless.
LanSafe power management software provides,
in combination with an uninterruptible power
system (UPS), the best possible protection for
this valuable data. Whether at home or at work,
LanSafe has you covered with its unique, proactive risk-management features.
1. Prevent system crashes –
when a power failure outlasts the
UPS battery runtime, LanSafe automatically performs a graceful operating system shutdown.
2. Avoid data loss –
LanSafe saves all work-in-progress.
3. Protect valuable applications –
LanSafe protects from corruption
by closing applications in an
orderly fashion.
4. Stay informed – monitor and receive
UPS alarms via network broadcasts,
SNMP, email, pager or mobile phone.
5. Control your power –
manage all UPSs on the network,
check battery health, and create
sequential shutdown scenarios.
6. Communicate with NMS integrates UPSs into the SNMP network management system.

The Powerware-exclusive Stealth Mode Operation

(ATM) or other environment in which user-awareness of LanSafe is not an option.

It has never been easier to review historical
power problems: what happened, when it happened, how severe the event was, as well as how
often it has annually reoccurred. The user may
focus on any calendar date to obtain information
on the event time, along with a description of
the problem.
When enabled, the user will not see any UPS
alarm popups on local ATM/POS computer monitors due to power problems. However, system
administrators monitoring the ATM/POS network
will still receive remote SNMP alarms to their network management systems.
Stealth Mode Operation
Removes visual traces, like the LanSafe system
tray icon and popup alarms, but still notifies
the system administrator “silently” via SNMP

saved by the UPS due to prevented downtime.
With this innovative new tool, LanSafe will do the

the number of power failures and blackout duration. Calculations can easily be exported to
spreadsheets, email and other applications. The
user, according to their environment, enters the
base costs for calculations.

Three Optional Views
The 3-D PowerScope View, along with a new
innovation, the ControlRoom View, take the
guesswork out of understanding UPS metering
and status information. PowerScope is the
default for viewing single phase UPSs while
ControlRoom serves as the default for three
phase UPSs. The third display format available is
the History View, which allows users to review a
year of UPS events at-a-glance in a calendar format. The favorite default view can be changed at
any given time via the LanSafe preferences menu.
Automatic Regional Settings
LanSafe v. 5 incorporates Automatic Regional
Settings Detection with local language support
capabilities. Date, time, temperature and UPS
receptacle graphics are automatically selected
