• If the UPS is powering network hardware such as routers, then an SNMP adapter is necessary. Up to
50 computers can be shut down in a RCCMD (Remote Console Command) environment. RCCMD is
an additional module, which executes a command in a distant system.
7.5 SNMP CARD/ADAPTER For Network Management /Remote Monitoring
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a worldwide-standardized communication-protocol. It
is used to monitor any device in the network via simple control language. The UPS-Management Software
also provides its data in this SNMP format with its internal software agent. The operating system you are
using must be SNMP compatible. We offer our software with SNMP functionality together with NetWare, OS/
2, all Windows NT systems on INTEL and ALPHA.
There are two types of SNMP-Adapters available: External SNMP-Adapter and Internal SNMP-Card (both
have the same functions).
SNMP Adapter
The SNMP adapter requires a PC with terminal connections. For normal operation at least one network
connection (Ethernet) is also required.
The SNMP adapter is used to monitor any device in the network and can be used, utilising the RCCMD send
function, for an automatic network wide shut down or informing connected users. The shut down procedure
can be initiate from the remaining time (downtime) or as countdown timer from the beginning of the alarm. A
shut down is therefore possible without extra input from the operator, but fully software controlled.
For detailed information please refer to the Software Manual provided with the WAVEMON CD ROM. This
adaptor communicates via the serial port of the UPS and makes a direct multiple server shut down possible
without additional SNMP management software.
RCCMD - Remote Console Command module for a multi-server shutdown. The RCCMD modules are
independent programs that may be activated on the computer that is running UPSMAN. This makes a
shutdown call possible in any LAN and WAN, regardless of the network type or operating system.
External SNMP Adapter
The External SNMP adapter is small, 12 x 7 cm. and is supplied with
the following accessories:
• RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Base-T (autoswitchable)
• Serial Port (COM2) or optional ModBus interface.
• Error/Link LED for UPS status
• Aux Port
• DIP Switch
• Serial Port to the UPS (COM1)
• DC Supply (9 VDC or 9-36 VDC supply, depending on
model);
