8. Optional Communication Card
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 support
the SNMP protocol. We offer our software
with SNMP functionality for Novell, OS/2, all
Windows running on INTEL and ALPHA,
DEC VMS, Apple.
Two types of SNMP interfaces with identical
functionality are available: an external
SNMP-Adapter (Box) and an internal SNMP-
Card. Both can manage a parallel system (N
modules) and return either global values -
which are consistent for the whole parallel
system - or specific values from the single
modules.
8.1. SNMP Adapter
The adapter may be configured via Telnet,
HTTP (Web-Browser) or serial connection
(Terminal). For normal operation at least one
network connection (Ethernet) is required.
The SNMP adapter can be used, utilising the
RCCMD send function, for an automatic net-
work wide shut down or just for informing
connected users. The shut down procedure
can be initiated on a low residual battery
autonomy time (downtime) or by a
countdown timer which is started at the
beginning of the alarm. A shut down is
therefore possible without extra input from
the operator, and is fully software controlled.
