1 MGE Network Solution
1.1 Introduction
Z provides information on events concerning the supply of power to the computers connected to your
computer network,
Z carries out automatic shutdown of computer systems,
Z monitors and controls all the UPSs connected to the network.
As illustrated in the picture below, MGE Network Solution provides these 3 main functions:
Z connecting the UPS to the Network,
Z protecting the computers,
Z monitoring the UPSs over the Network
1.1.1 Connecting the UPS 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 Manag ement Proxy .
The Network Management Card or Proxy:
Z manages communication with the UPS (as well as local protection of the machine on which Proxy is
installed),
Z periodically accesses the information concerning the UPS,

Z makes this information available to the connected applications (Network Shutdown Modules, Web
Browser, Network Management Systems, Enterprise Power Manager)
Operation may be in standard secure mode (the default mode) or in SSL secure mode (Secure Socket Layer
SSL).
1.1.2 Protecting the computers / servers
This function is performed by the Network Shutdown Module installed on each of the servers to be protected.
Note that the Shutdown Module is available on several Operating Systems.
The Network Shutdown module:
Z continuously waits for information from the Network Management Card / Proxy connected to the MGE
UPS.
Z warns administrators and users if AC power fails and proceeds with graceful system shutdown before the
end of battery backup power is reached.
1.1.3 Monitoring the UPSs over the network
Depending on your needs, you can either use:
Z your Internet browser to monitor each UPS, as Management Proxy and Management Card include a Web
server.
Z your company’s standard Network Management System (HP-Openvie w, 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)

battery backup power).
The software components for each platform and the user manuals are supplied free-of-charge on the SolutionPac 2 CD or are available for download on the www.mgeups.com Web site, in the “Download area” section”
1.2 Presentation of the Network Management Cards (NMC)
MGE provides 2 different form factors for its Network Management Cards :
Z NMC Minislot for UPS systems like the Evolution, EXtreme C, Pulsar EX RT, Pulsar/Comet DX series.
Z NMC Transverse for UPS systems like the Galaxy 3000, Galaxy 5000, Galaxy PW, Pulsar and Comet
EXtreme series. Other MGE UPS systems (3-phase Comet, Galaxy, EPS 6000) can be remotely managed
using the Network Management Link
.
The Network Management Cards acquire information on the operation status of the UPS systems and provide
remote control of these systems by means of an ETHERNET network from any SNMP administration station or
Web browser. They also supply alarms to the Network Shutdown Modules to trigger shutdown or other
automatic actions for protected servers.
A simple html browser is used for supervision and configuration.
Network Management Cards are compatible with all MGE UPS SYSTEMS supervision / protection systems:
Z Network Shutdown Modules
Z Entreprise Power Manager

1.4 Direct sending of E-mail
When a UPS event occurs, the Network Management Card can directly notify up to 4 intranet or extranet
addressees by e-mail (see Email Notification and Email Message Settings
).
1.5 Sending text messages (SMS)
SMS messages can be sent by specific configuration of the e-mail function via the internet access
providers making the e-mail / SMS transfer.
1.6 Compatibility with the Network Management Systems (NMS) – Trap sending
The Network Management Cards are compatible with the major Network Management Syste ms (IBM Tivoli,
CA Unicenter, HP Insight Manager ..),. The Management-Pac 2 offering includes the necessary SNMP
plug-in to allows an easy integration in the NMS. Events are notified by SNMP trap
Z NMS can subscribe on page “Notified Application”
Z SNMP sequences are described in chapter “Server protection”
The trap list can be looked over in the document “Agent's MIB description” available on mgeups.com
1.7 Compatibility with the legacy Solution-Pac WAN offering
Network Management Card is compatible with the legacy protection module UM-Client and since the FA
release also with the updated protection module Network Shutdown Module . It is possible to use the
both modules on the same card, therefore, MGEUPS recommends to use the Network Shutdown Module
on new installations.

Z Click on the “Shutdown parameters” section in the menu to see the list of parameters.
Important note:
For installations that do not use Network Shutdown Module (backup units, routers and other internetworki ng
equipment, automated systems, etc.) or in the event of long backup periods, the card will send a command to
the UPS to shut off end of the programmed Shutdown After time. To prevent this, the Shutdown After box
must be not selected (default)
This page enables viewing and configuration of UPS operation parameters in battery mode and for powe r
restoration.
When you tick the Show advanced parameters option, extra parameters are displayed. These parameters
enable, in particular, adjustment of certain thresholds related to the percentage of remaining battery charge
level.
The Output column enables each output to be named (maximum 30 characters).
Note
Priority is given to the main outlet, so the card does not accept configurations where the auxiliary outlets can be
supplied while the main outlet is switched off
For the main outlet (Master)
Z Shutdown after is the operating time in minutes left for users after a switch to backup before starting
the shutdown sequences of the UPS and its equipment (from 0 to 1092).
Z If remaining time under (from 0 to 9999 seconds) and If Capacity under (from 0 to 100%) are two
extra conditions for remaining backup time and battery level that can trigger shutdown sequences
before the “Shutdown after” period runs out
Z Shutdown duration is the time required for complete shutdown of systems when a switch to backup
time is long enough to trigger the shutdown sequences. It is calculated automatically at the maximum
of Shutdown duration of subscribed clients but can be modified in the Advanced mode

Z Restart after is the minimum shutdown time before restarting the UPS after a shutdown sequence. It is
thus possible to limit repeated restarts that may be due to several successive utility failures.
Z If the Battery is charged for and If Capacity exceeds are two extra conditions for minimum battery
level and maximum recharge time to be reached before restarting the UPS after utility restoration
For controlled outlets (group 1 or group 2 ), the page enables programming of operation time and level in
backup mode to manage outlet load shedding in the event of electric power failure:
Z Switch Off after (from 0 to 65534).defines the time during which the outlet is supplied starting from
the moment of utility failure. Caution, this time includes the outlet shutdown duration.
Z Switch Off if capacity under is an extra condition for outlet shutdown that can trigger the shutdown
sequence before shutdown duration runs out.
Z Shutdown duration is the time required for complete shutdown of the systems supplied by the outlet
when an outlet shutdown sequence is launched.
It is calculated automatically using the maximum shutdown durations of subscribed clients.
Z Switch On (from 0 to 65534). is the period between main output startup and startup of the relevant
programmable outlet, therefore outlet startup can be delayed in relation to the main output.

Z Recipient List:
On the right side of this page, up to four recipients can be configured to receive e-mails from the card. Each
addressee has its own trigger events, selected from the left side of the page, for which an e-mail is sent. The
card’s log indicates e-mail transmission errors.
Each recipient is configured with the following parameters:
Recipient: this is the e-mail address of the person or department to receive the e-mail.
The default value is recipientx@domain.com.
Attached files: The files selected (UPS measurements, Event log, System log or Environment measurements)
are enclosed with each e-mail sent. The files are sent in CSV format.
Periodic report: In addition to the e-mails sent when events occur, a periodical e-mail containing the 4 log files
can be sent to the recipient every x days at the time specified by the user.
To configure the first transmission, specify the day, time and frequency of the next transmission in the Day of
next report box. After this date, the page will show the date and time of the next transmission.
Data are sent in CSV format.
Save: Saves any modifications.
Test: enables an e-mail to be sent to the recipient immediately. This is one way of checking e-mail
transmission, particularly access to the SMTP server configured in “Network settings”. A transmission report is
added to the system log. In the event of failure, the card will repeat the transmission 3 times, at one minute
intervals, before producing a transmission report.
The event label in the subject and text of the message is replaced with a test label.
If the user makes any modifications to the page, they must be saved before using the “Test” function.

Each measurement is dated and stored in the log of the UPS’ communication card.
The size of log files is limited by a time indexing system.
The user can Save the log on his workstation at any time, in a CSV format file.
He can also Clear the files contained in the card to reset the log.

4 Servers protection
4.1 Set-up of the shutdown parameters
The Network Shutdown Module, on protected server boot, subscribes itself automatically to Notified
Applications list and sends its essential data:
Z IP address or name of the server on which it is installed, to be notified by the card of any power events
Z Time required to shutdown the server (Shutdown Duration, configurable in the Shutdown Module “set-up”
menu):
The card takes into account the longest shutdown time of all the Network Shutdown Modules subscribed to
manage UPS shutdown without affecting any of the servers protected.
In case of a major power event, the Shutdown Module receives messages from the card and regularly checks
its accessibility. The most important messages can generate actions and are sent back to the administrator and
users via the network.
When the server shuts down, the Shutdown Module unsubscribes itself from the Notified Applications.
4.1.1 Shutdown criteria managed by the Management Card
During an extended power failure, three criteria may cause the server shutdown procedure to be initiated. If
several criteria are selected, the first criterion encountered will launch the shutdown procedure.
At the end of the shutdown procedure, when all servers have been shut down, the UPS may shut down to avoid
unnecessary discharge of its batteries, depending on its configuration.
4.1.1.1 Backup time before initiating the shutdown procedure (Shutdown After)
When the UPS switches to battery, the Network Management Card starts the Shutdown Timer countdown and
launches the system shutdown procedure at the end of the countdown.
This value must be chosen so that users have time to complete their tasks and disconnect, without exceeding
battery backup time.
By default, this value is set to 30 minutes. Since GA release, this criterion is not selected in the default
configuration
Note 1:
The Network Shutdown Module can also manages its own Shutdown Timer (configurable in the Shutdown
Module “set-up” menu)
Note that if this criterion is selected to initiate system shutdown, automatic system reboot when power is
restored is not guaranteed (e.g. power restoration if only this system was shut down).
By default, this parameter is not selected.
4.1.1.2 Initiating the shutdown procedure when the battery level is lower than: (if capacity under)
When the card detects that the remaining backup time percentage is less than the configured level, the
shutdown sequence is started.
By default, the card uses the value set in the UPS.
Note:
Certain types of UPS only accept pre-defined minimum battery level values (e.g. : 20% or 40% for COMET and
PULSAR EXtreme). Check the UPS documentation.

4.1.1.3 Shutdown when backup time is less than
When the Network Management Card detects that the percentage of backup time remaining is less than the
value set, the shutdown sequence is started.
4.1.1.4 Shutdown duration
Duration required for the systems protected by the Shutdown Modules to shut down (in seconds).
4.1.2 Specific set-up for long autonomy installation (> 30 mn)
On installation where the backup period is longer than 30 minutes, the Network Management Card will initiate
automatically a shutdown at the end of the shutdown timer if this parameter is selected on the “Shutdown
parameters” page.
4.1.3 Controlled outlets
Some UPS models are equipped with outlets (typically 2), that can be controlled individually (while still
remaining dependent on the main UPS control).
Shutdown of the main outlet systematically causes shutdown of the programmable outlets.
Depending on the UPS range, the following notation is used to mark these outlets:
Z Main outlet: Main or 1
Z Programmable outlet 1 1 or 2
Z Programmable outlet 2 2 or 3
4.1.4 Connecting a server protected by UM-Client to a programmable outlet
Only UM-Client is compatible with the programmable outlets, the Network Shutdown Module will be compatible
with release 3.0.
After connecting the server electrically to one of the controlled outlets, UM-Client must be informed of the outlet
number to which it is connected.
Start UM-Editor (installed with Solution-Pac / WAN), select the “Switchable plug” box and specify the outlet
number (1=main, 2 or 3) in the “Receptacle Number” field.

4.1.4.1 Load shedding or sequential shutdown
It is possible to optimise backup time by shutting down non-priority equipment or sequencing the shutdown of
several devices.
Two shutdown criteria are possible:
Shutdown of outlets after a set battery back-up time (ShutOff Delay)
Shutdown of outlets at a given battery discharge level (ShutOff Level)
It is possible to specify values for both criteria. The first criterion reached will initiate server shutdown.
4.1.4.2 Sequential startup
It is possible to delay outlet power-on to reduce inrush currents on startup or to sequence the startup of several
devices.
Outlet startup after a given time is based on startup of the main outlet (Restart delay)

4.2 The different server and UPS shutdown sequences
4.2.1 Extended power outage, shutdown initiated by the Shutdown Timer
During battery backup time, the Shutdown Timer of the Network Management Card is reached: after a userdefined backup time period, the shutdown of all servers is initiated, followed by the UPS shutdown (depending
on its configuration). The UPS restarts when utility power is restored (depending on its configuration).
Z Shutdown Duration: Maximum value of shutdown times of the Network Shutdown Modules and UM-
Clients subscribed to the card and depending on the main UPS outlet. This value is updated each time a
client subscribes/ unsubscribes.
Z Shutdown Duration 1 (2): Maximum value of shutdown times of the UM-Client subscribed to the card and
dependent on outlet 1 (2). This value is updated each time a UM-Client dependent on outlet 1 (2)
subscribes /unsubscribes.
Note: During battery operation, these values are not updated.

8.2 Glossary
Bootp:
Protocol based on UDP used to allocate an IP address corresponding to an Ethernet card during the startup
phase. Defined by the RCF 951
Community name:
Access key to access SNMP agent information
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
This IETF protocol enables remote, automatic, self-configuration of the IP addresses of a workstation.
DNS Domain Name Sevicel
The DNS protocol ensure correspondence between the name of a machine and its IP address
DST Daylight Saving Time
Extension of the NTP protocol to manage time changes in summer and winter
E-mail
Electronic means of transmitting messages and/or files.
Gateway
Interconnection equipment between networks with different conventions, to enable communication between
them
HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) Language used to describe hypertext pages on the web.
HTTPS : is the secure version of HTTP, the communication protocol of the World Wide Web. It was invented by
Netscape Communications Corporation to provide authentication and encrypted communi cation a nd is used in
electronic commerce.
IP
Internet Protocol. Network layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack offering a no-connection inter-network service .
The IP protocol offers functions for addressing, service type specification, fragmentation and re-assembli ng and
security. Defined in RFC 791.
MD5
Message Digest 5. Algorithm producing an output message from an input message of arbitrary length, in the
form of a replica or s
mary 128 bit message. Intended for digital signature applications requiring large files to be compressed in total
security before being coded with a private key, using a public key algorithm, like RSA.
MIB MANAGEMENT INFORMATION BASE
- Group of software commands to control and administrate a device through the network. Each type of device
(server, hub, PC, UPS, etc.) has its own MIB
– The IETF has proposed a standard MIB for each group of devices (hubs, for example) to simplify
administration if they come from different suppliers

NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROXY
Communication software installed on a PC connected to the UPS to supervise it and communicate with
Network Shutdown Module to insure power protection on servers
NMS NETWORK MANAGEMENT STATION (SNMP)
The dedicated PC or workstation is used on the company’s networks to administrate all devices connected to
the network. Data are transmitted using the SNMP protocol. Popular NMS systems include HP OpenView, IBM
Tivoli, CA Unicenter, etc.
NETWORK SHUTDOWN MODULE
Protection software installed on a PC or server to protect it
NTP Network Time Protocol
Protocol to position a set of machines on a network at the same time.
Programmable outlet (controlled outlet):
Outlet that can be remote-switched on or off. UM-Client components enable management of such outlets.
REBOOT –
To restart a system after an interruption.
– To perform an obstacle-free “reboot”, it is essential that the system is correctly and carefully shut down
beforehand.
– The reboot is usually automatic if the computer is re-supplied with electricity (from the utility or from the UPS).
RFC
Request for Comments. All documents defining internal Internet operation.
SNMP (SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL)
Protocol used to remote-supervise, administrate and control devices connected to a company network.
SMTP (SIMPLE MAIL TRANSFER PROTOCOL)
Enables message transfer between e-mail servers or between the client and its server. It is based on the
server’s port 25. It is described in RFC 821
SSL (Secure Sockets Layers) is a protocol developed by Netscape Communications Corporation for securing
data transmission in commercial transactions on the Internet. Using public-key cryptography, SSL provides
server authentication, data encryption, and data integrity for client/server communications
Subnet mask:
Mask of bits used to identify and differentiate the network address and the equipment address in an IP address.
Normally, the mask is automatically determined by the class of address, which defines in a unique manner the
network part/equipment part division of the IP address.
- Class A: internet address: 255.0.0.0.
- Class B: internet address: 255.255.0.0.
- Class C: internet address: 255.255.255.0.
TCP/IP

simple terminal locally connected to this server.
Trap (SNMP)
This term describes an event that affects an MIB variable. Traps are sent to the manager, which is programmed
to perform specific tasks upon reception of the traps.
UM-Client
UM-Client is a legacy software package (SNMP manager) that uses the information sent by the agent
dedicated to the MGE UPS in order to inform users of the computer of the power quality status.
In case of a power failure, UM-Client triggers a graceful shutdown procedure at the end of a preset battery
runtime.
