1. What is a Netcom?
A Netcom is a standalone UPS peripheral used for UPS monitoring, event management,
SNMP interfacing, and critical event notification. It consists of a small computer with a serial
interface for connecting to and communicating with a UPS, and an Ethernet interface for
connecting to your local network. The Netcom has its own embedded web server to allow you to
monitor the status of the UPS using a Web browser. Event management is also configured and
performed on the Web Server. It supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for
integration with a Network Management System and Telnet for configuration.
You can configure the Netcom to perform appropriate actions when an event is detected
including email and remote computer shutdown. The included
Remote shutdown agent
runs on
one or more remote computers and communicates with the Netcom to allow remote shutdown of
up to 24 computers powered by the UPS. An optional component, the
Netcom Forwarder
, runs
on a remote computer to allow the Netcom to shut down additional computers.
