The main characteristics of Wavemon software are (assuming RS232 port used):
• Automatic unattended master/slave shutdown in heterogeneous networks
• On-screen autonomy time/battery time countdown
• On-screen server log off and shutdown procedure
• Time and date stamp event log, extensive logging of all UPS activity and power quality data
• Scheduled UPS economy mode, service mode, other systems status
• Graphical user interface for Windows compatible platforms
• Automatic unattended local shutdown
• Special modules for the MS-Office software to close and save open documents
• Compatible with all optional modules like UPSDIALER, SNMP adaptors, temperature sensors, etc.
The UPS-Management software is a client-/server-application for networks and local workstations. Basically
WAVEMON-software consists of two parts: the server-module of the UPS-Management Software is
UPSServ, which communicates via RS-232 cable with the UPS.
Working as a background process the UPSServ collects messages, received from the UPS, interprets the
messages and then makes them available to the client-module UPSCli and to any SNMP-based
management station.
When UPSServ detects voltage variations or a power failure it can execute various so called system ‘event
routines’, which for example may shutdown the server or send a warning to connected users. These system
event routines are a part of the UPS-Management Software can be adjusted to suit the customer’s demands.
The UPS management software includes the licence for using the UPS service on one server with one UPS
and an unlimited numbers of connected Windows workstations. When operating with two or more servers, a
licence is required for every additional server, irrespective of whether the UPS service runs at that location, or
if the server is halted by a UPS service via remote command.
The same regulations apply to the remote send/receive modules (RCCMD) and multiserver shutdown under
NT, UNIX and other operating systems. The service programs are generally delivered as a single-licence. To
use a single CD ROM to shutdown multiple servers you have to purchase additional CD license keys.
Parallel/redundant UPS systems are also manageable by the software. The main principle is to introduce a
shutdown of a server only when strictly necessary. Correct parallel handling has therefore to manage a
parallel system as a whole and always consider the system redundancy.
