MGE Galaxy 7000 Network Solution:
provides information on events concerning the supply of power to the computers connected to your computer network,
carries out automatic shutdown of computer systems and monitors all the UPSs connected to the network.
Network Management Cards acquire information on the operation status of the UPS systems and provide monitoring of these systems by means
of an ETHERNET network from any SNMP administration station or Web browser.
They also supply alarms to the “MGE Network Shutdown Modules” to trigger shutdown or other automatic actions for protected servers.
Network Management Cards are compatible with:
the "MGE Enterprise Power Management" supervision.
The “InfraStruXure Central” unit
As illustrated in the picture below, MGE Network Solution provides these 3 main functions:
supervision of the UPSs over the Network,
protection of the computers,
connexion of the UPS to the Network.
When a UPS event occurs, the Network Management Card can directly notify up to 4 intranet or extranet addresses by e-mail (see E-mail
Notification and E-mail message settings)
1.5 Sending text messages (SMS)
The card offers the possibility of redirecting UPS alarms to an e-mail server. The format of these e-mails is compatible with mobile telephone e-
mail/SMS transfer systems proposed by ISPs. The format to be used depends on the service provider. For example, sms.0660256585@votre-
login.activmail.net (text messages).
1.6 Compatibility with the Network Management Systems (NMS) – Trap sending
The Network Management Cards are compatible with the major Network Management Systems (IBM Tivoli, CA Unicenter, HP Insight
Manager). The Management-Pac 2 offering includes the necessary SNMP plug-ins to allow an easy integration in the NMS. Events are
notified by SNMP trap.
1.7 Environment Sensor (option)
The Environment Sensor (66846) solution comprises a box to be connected to the Card Settings port of the Network Management Cards.
Environment Sensor enables measurement of temperature and humidity around the UPS, consideration of external alarms via 2 dry contacts
and notification of alarms according to pre-programmed thresholds. (see Environmen Status and Environment Configuration)
1.8 Modbus/Jbus for INMC 66123
The Modbus/Jbus hexadecimal (MODBUS RTU) communication protocol is used in slave mode. The system provides a communication channel
with an RS485 or RS232 interface.
1.9 Teleservice for NMTC 66124
The Teleservice card allow the UPS Remote Monitoring feature from the APC by Schneider TLS Center.
This feature manages remotely UPS alarms, UPS diagnostic, UPS Monitroing and Monthly Reporting.
Up to 35 workstations protected by Network Shutdown Modules - Central or local configuration.
Up to 5 browsers connected at the same time (3 in SSL).
•Minimum recommended browser versions: Internet Explorer 6.x / 7.0, Mozilla Firefox 1.5 / 2.0 / 3.0
E-mail sending configurable according to UPS alarms and transmission of a periodical report.
Protection by encrypted password.
Protection by secure SSL connection.
Saving of logs in the non-volatile memory.

The various elements of the synoptic are the following ones:
Boxes showing measurements appear when synoptic elements are hovered by the pointer. See example below.
These measurements are available for AC to DC converter, Battery, DC to AC converter and automatic bypass.
The measurements available in these boxes depend on the UPS range.
"Active sources": (available on parallel or modular UPS)
X UPS + Y redundant + Z PSM:
X indicates the minimal number of UPS necessary to power the load,
Y indicates the number of UPS in redundancy.
Z indicate the number of UPS in PSM (Power Saving Mode)
An alarm can be generated if the number of UPS in redundancy is less than a configurable threshold. See UPS modules section.
"Power source": indicates whether the power comes from the AC normal input or from the UPS battery
"Output load level": indicates the power percentage used at UPS output
"Output" indicates if the UPS output is powered
The various icons showing the status of the UPS outputs are:
Output powered
Battery Information :
"Battery load level": battery charge level in percent
The information is completed with the two following labels:
“Charging” : if the utility power is present and the battery charge is in progress
“Discharging”: if the UPS operates on battery.
“Fault”: if the battery is faulty.
"Remaining backup time": Estimation of the battery's maximum backup time remaining before UPS shutdown
"Battery status": Result of the last automatic battery test carried out by the UPS
Possible values are:
