NTRODUCTION
The BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter is a network adapter for your
uninterruptible power system (UPS) that provides both SNMP and HTTP
compatibility, as well as advanced communication with true RS-232.
The BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter is available in two models: and internal
for UPSs with a BestDock slot and external for connection to the UPS serial
port. Both models can connect to a twisted-pair Ethernet (10baseT) network
using an RJ-45 connector.
SNMP-compatible network management software (user-supplied) may be
used to monitor the UPS in a method similar to that of other network devices.
Others may wish to use a web browser such as Netscape
Z
or Microsoft 9
Internet Explorer to monitor and manage the connected UPS.
The adapter also supports remote monitoring and shutdown from
UPS-protected computer systems. NetWatch client software for use with a
BestLink Adapter is supplied on the Invensys Software Suite CD or on the
web at www.powerware.com. Client software is available for
Windows
9 95/98/NT/2000, Novell 9 NetWare 9 and various versions of UNIX 9
These programs communicate through TCP/IP with the BestLink Adapter and
automatically shutdown the protected system during extended power outages.

:
Configuration from serial port, telnet, or HTTP web browser.
