1. Overview
The UPSwatch is a power monitoring and control software that communicates with a UPS to retrieve the
UPS information and protects the operating system which is supplied power by the UPS during power events
(Such as input power fail). Using a Web Browser, you can easily obtain the current UPS status, congure your
shutdown strategy and view the countdown to shutdown information. UPSwatch also has the ability to notify
the device managers through e-mail and SMS.
UPSwatch works with multiple ShutdownAgent 2012 to protect a large number of hosts which are powered by
the UPS.
1.1 Features
1. Work with ShutdownAgent 2012 to protect a large number of hosts:
Each UPSwatch can connect up to 255 ShutdownAgent 2012. Each ShutdownAgent 2012
can forward the received SNMP trap to up to 255 ShutdownAgent 2012.
2. Support RS232 protocol to monitor and control the connected UPS.
3. Support USB to monitor and control the connected UPS.
4. Support SNMPv1, v2c and v3 trap.
5. Support SMS for mobile notication.
6. Support SNMPv1, v3 server access for monitoring UPSwatch status and congure
shutdown parameters.

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on
3. Add a remotely shared directory:
net use e: \\<ip address>\e
4. Open the SNMP Trap UDP 162
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SNMPTrap" protocol=UDP
dir=out localport=162 action = allow
