PowerChute®
Web Device Manager
Web-based software for network administrators that simplifies
the management of UPSs and MasterSwitches throughout the entire
network.
You can access PowerChute Web Device Manager from anywhere
on the network, via a web browser, to manage APC UPSs that protect
servers, workstations, internetworking equipment, and MasterSwitch
devices. For easy navigation, you can create customized groups
of web-enabled devices, such as MasterSwitch devices or UPSs
connected to the network through Web/SNMP management cards.
PowerChute Web Device Manager supports the use of APC Interactive
Assistant and supports the monitoring of UPSs protecting computers
running PowerChute plus on Windows NT version 4.0, Windows
95, Windows 98, NetWare, and major UNIX platforms. See below

log of PowerChute plus. The event log can be viewed via
PowerChute Web Device Manager. |

Initiate self test of local
or remote UPS to maximize UPS uptime |
 |
| Data Log |
Quickly pinpoint power problems
by tracking power data such as min/max utility line voltage, battery
