Scope of functions
The SITEMANAGER and SITEMONITOR are specially designed for use in standard server racks. Accessories can be mounted
nearby as required, for example, using standardized DIN-RAILS. The SITEMANAGER and the SITEMONITOR offer the option
of communicating with the UPS directly via an RS-232 interface as an SNMP adapter or via the RFC1628 smart UPS interface
via LAN and of acting as a fully-fledged web manager.
Standardized included functions are:
-
SNMP und SNMP Traps:
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an Internet standard protocol for monitoring installations via IP
networks. The protocol is defined and standardized via RFC specifications. UPS systems generally use the RFC 1628
specification as MIB, which defines UPS-specific devices. Therefore, it is usually not necessary to insert an own MIB
into the SNMP software. SITEMANAGER and SITEMONITOR can fulfil numerous tasks. For example, the power
supply and battery status of a UPS can be monitored by an SNMP management station, door contacts or access
controls can be switched to active, etc. The current switching states can be both time-controlled and switched
reactively in the form of switching chains, including feedback. A specially defined message can be sent automatically
for each switching status.
-
Remote control of UPS functions
This function can be used, for example, to switch the UPS to bypass (manufacturer-dependent); this is triggered by a
corresponding command via the Network Management Station or by the UPS management software for the web that
is part of the UPS.
-
Multiple Server Shutdown via RCCMD:
With RCCMD, all models of the CS141 product family can initiate a network shutdown. A TCP/IP-based RCCMD
signal is sent to all configured RCCMD clients. This also allows shutdowns to be initiated on an unlimited number of
computers, regardless of their operating system. RCCMD is an optional component of the UPS management
software. UPS management software and RCCMD licences are available from your UPS dealer.
-
Time critical log files:
Both, SITEMONITOR and SITEMANAGER have their own set of log files to accurately log events and alarms. This
log file is accessible via UNMS, UPSMAN, GUI and FTP. The export as CSV file allows easy archiving for later
diagnosis.
-
Advanced mail communication features:
Each model of the CS141 family provides a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) compatible email client that can
automatically send emails in case of a system events it is configured to.
-
Integration of Network Management Systems
The SNMP adapter is compatible with all common network management systems. All SNMP systems that allow the
compilation of a MIB - or already contain the Management Information Base (MIB) / Request for Comment 1628
(RFC) for UPS systems - can be operated with the adapter. Furthermore, it is possible to interact with higher- and
lower-level monitoring and management systems via pole-free contacts.
-
Modern and light-weight web-based technologies for intuitive configuration:
Each model of the CS141 product family provides his own a web interface that displays all information of the unit. By
doing so, all system-critical information is available and displayed graphically. And, of course, the web interface is
accessible with a common web browser.
