1 Introduction to the MGE’s Network Solution
1.1Overview
MGE’s Network Solution:
ωprovides information on events concerning the supply of power to the computers connected to your computer network,
ωcarries out automatic shutdown of computer systems,
ωmonitors and controls all the UPSs connected to the network.
As illustrated in the picture below, MGE Network Solution provides these 3 main functions:
ωsupervising the UPSs over the Network,
ωprotecting the computers,
ωconnecting the UPS to the Network.
The functions of MGE’s Network offering
T H E U N I N T E R R U P T I B L E P O W E R P R O V I D E R
Network Shutdown Module V3 – User Manual - APC # 990-3630 (MGE # 34 003 934 XU / AB) Page 4/66
www.apc.com / www.mgeups.com
1.2Monitoring the UPSs over the network
Depending on your needs, you can either use:
ωyour Internet browser to monitor each UPS, as
Management Proxy, Management Card and Shutdown Module include a Web server.
ωyour company’s standard Network Management System:
>HP-Openview,
>CA Unicenter,
>HP Insight Manager,
>IBM Tivoli Netview,
>…
To simplify integration of MGE UPSs with these
NMS, you can use one of the Network
Management System Kits for MGE devices.
These kits are available on Management Pac 2
CD-Rom (ref 66923).
ωthe MGE supervisor "Enterprise Power Manager"
>5 nodes (free),
>50 nodes (ref 66923),
>Unlimited (ref 66924).

www.apc.com / www.mgeups.com
1.3Protecting the computers / servers
The Network Shutdown Module installed on each of the servers to be protected performs this function. Note that the Shutdown Module is available on several Operating Systems.
The Shutdown modules:
ωcontinuously wait for information from the Mgt. Proxy or Mgt. Card connected to the MGE UPS.
ωwarns administrators and users if AC power fails and proceeds with graceful system shutdown before the end of battery backup power is reached.
New functions:
The latest version V3 the Network Shutdown Module:
ωoffers a remote supervision interface through any web browser (with a secured SSL/HTTPS connection enabled by default),
ωmanages multi UPS redundant configurations (see “Multi-UPS systems” chapter )
>Several UPSs in parallel
>2 UPSs in Hot standby (or serial) redundancy
>2 redundant UPSs through Static Transfer Switch
>UPSs powering a server with multiple power supplies
3 UPSs in parallel powering several servers
ωmanages switchable outlets
With this version you can trigger shutdown sequences with switchable outlets.

1.4Connecting the UPS
1.4.1Connecting to the Network
This function can be performed either through network Cards inserted in the UPS (Network Management Card) or through a software “agent” running on a nearby PC that is called the Network Management Proxy. Note that the Network Management Proxy is available only on Windows.
The Network Management Card or Proxy:
ω manages communication with the UPS (as well as local protection of the machine on which Proxy is installed),
ωperiodically accesses the information concerning the UPS,
ωmakes this information available to the connected applications (Network Shutdown Modules, Web Browser, Network Management Systems, Enterprise Power Manager)
1.4.2Select Network Architecture
Below are two software and hardware architectures showing how MGE UPSs can protect several computers. These typical examples are intended to assist you in designing your own architecture.
Connection with Network Management Card
On the diagram above, the following two types of connections are required:
ωthe electrical power cables,
ωthe TCP/IP communication network.
T H E U N I N T E R R U P T I B L E P O W E R P R O V I D E R
Network Shutdown Module V3 – User Manual - APC # 990-3630 (MGE # 34 003 934 XU / AB) Page 7/66
www.apc.com / www.mgeups.com
Connection with Network Management Proxy
On the diagram above, three types of connections are required:
ωa point-to-point link (serial or USB),
ωthe electrical power cables,
ωthe TCP/IP communication network.
1.4.3Network Performances
The Network Management Card is designed to support a maximum of:
ω35 or 50 Network Shutdown Module connections in standard secure mode
Network Management Proxy, installed on a dedicated server, with at least 500 MB of Ram and a 1 GHz CPU, is designed to support a maximum of:
ω250 Network Shutdown Module connections in standard secure mode.

2 Installation
Note: This user manual only applies to Network Shutdown Module V3. For previous versions of Network Shutdown Module V2.x, please read the HTML on line manual.
2.1Hardware Pre-requisites (Electrical and Network Connections)
Connection steps
Before connecting the UPS, you must first decide on a software and hardware architecture.
Before installing the MGE Network Solution, the UPS must be set up as indicated in the steps below.
ωShut down the computers to be protected by the UPS.
ωConnect the UPS to a wall outlet. (For UPSs above 3kVA, please refer to the UPS installation manual).
ωConnect the power cord of each computer to an outlet on the UPS. (For UPSs above 3kVA, please refer to the UPS installation manual).
ωHow to connect UPS / proxy or card / network:
>If the Mgt. Proxy is used, connect the serial or USB port on the computer and on the UPS.
>If a Network Management Card is used, insert the optional card in the UPS and connect the UPS to the computer network.
ωStart the MGE UPS, then the computers.
ωSetting up the protection
>If the Mgt. Proxy is used install it on the one machine directly connected to the UPS.
>If a Network Management Card is used, it must be set up (see the Mgt. Card's user manual).
ωInstall Network Shutdown Module on all the other machines that are to be protected by the UPS (supplied with UPS battery backup power).
Note: The Mgt. Proxy manages protection of the machine on which it is installed.

3 Minimal configuration steps
3.1Introduction
In this chapter we describe the basic and minimal configuration steps that must be performed before using the Network Shutdown Module.
The other and optional configuration possibilities are described later.
3.2The IP address of the UPS that powers your server.
In the Configuration -> Power device screen, click on the Add button
Adding a power device
Then following screen appears:
Power device settings
From this screen, you can define the following parameters:
ωNetwork Name or IP address of the Network Management Card / Proxy. This parameter must correspond to the UPS that powers your machine.
ωThe UPS Outlet that powers the server
Powershare outlets and load shedding:
You have the possibility in this page to configure the electrical dependency between one of the UPS switchable plugs and the server hosting Network Shutdown Module.
This function is useful for the servers that must be first shut down during the autonomy sequence.

Load shedding configuration on UPS powershare outlets
Remark:
This load shedding function is not available if the UPS doesn’t have any switchable outlet.
Note:
For multi-UPS configurations, you have the possibility to enter several names or IP addresses (using the [Add] button). For these advanced configurations, please refer to the Chapter « Multi – UPS systems ».
