SNMP Network-based UPS management

SNMP adapters are communication extensions for the monitoring of UPS devices via the network or web.

 

If needed, a phased shutdown of all relevant servers in the network is possible. Via Wake- up-on-LAN, the servers can be re-activated. This enables an automated shutdown and reboot of the system. The UPS can also be configured and monitored by network management software with the integrated SNMP agent according to RFC1628.

 

The PRO and mini version of the SNMP adapter further enables the integration of features such as area access control, air condition or smoke and/or fire detectors. In addition, temperature and humidity can be measured and administered by means of optical sensors. The SNMP PRO adapter enables, among other features, the connection of an intelligent load management distributor.
