7.4 WAVEMON Shutdown and Management Software
7.4.1 Why is UPS Management important?
By combining a UPS with a variety of network management products, such as orderly shutdown software and
SNMP adaptors, system-administrators can be assured that their electricity supplies are monitored for power
disruptions and depleted battery conditions. Such conditions pose the greatest threat through power
disturbance to valuable computer data by causing possible corruption or loss. By installing UPS/Mains
monitoring software, administrators are able to monitor the utility power from a central location, allowing early
warning of problems even across more complex systems like Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Enterprise
Wide Networks of multinational companies.
A prolonged mains failure may outlast the battery autonomy of the UPS system. If this situation occurs the
UPS management software will initiate an automatic, ‘controlled’ shutdown of the operating system, and so
protect valuable data.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd offer a wide range of local and remote monitoring and control systems,
affording maximum protection for computer systems.
7.4.2 WAVEMON Shutdown and Monitoring Software
WAVEMON is an external monitoring and shutdown software which is designed to operate with many of
Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd UPS products, both with the dry port (Relays) on terminal block X2 and
RS232 port JD1 on the communications card.
