Link SNMP/Web BestLink
supports FERRUPS and legacy Best Power UPS models
- Extensive
Power Management Communication
Powerware's BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapters are network
adapters for Powerware FERRUPS and legacy Best
Power UPS systems that provide SNMP, HTTP, SMTP,
WAP and Telnet compatibility and advanced RS232
communications. These adaptors allow easy monitoring,
management and if necessary, safe shut down or
re-boot of UPS-protected servers, routers, hubs
and other key inter-networking devices in a controlled
manner. BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapters are a self-contained
link between the UPS and Ethernet LAN/WAN, allowing
your UPS to be remotely monitored and controlled
from the next room, building, state or even another
country, with no additional overhead on any server.
These dedicated cards provide the essential
network connection and pathway between the
UPS and any popular Web browser or network
management platform. BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapters
also control automatic shutdown of protected
computer systems with the use of NetWatch
client software.
- Expanded
Network Management Control and Visibility
BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapters expand your control
and monitoring of power conditions throughout
the network. They also allow you to track power-related
problems anywhere on the network. Along with managing
the servers, routers, hubs and other network devices,
the UPS can also be monitored and controlled.
Because of the BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapters' compatibility
with such standard Web browsers as Netscape or
Internet Explorer you can simplify your management
process through web access.
- Real-time
Network Communication and Control
By utilizing the supplied MIB (Management Information
Base) for UPSs, real-time monitoring and control
of power protection across your LAN or WAN is
achievable by using third-party network management
software. The same network management software
used to manage your other SNMP-compatible devices
such as SunNet Manager, Novell Manage Wise, HP-OpenView,
NetView 6000, and others, may be used to manage
the UPS. Even if your protected device goes down,
the UPS can still communicate via the BestLink
SNMP/WEB Adapter. You can use the UPS to re-boot
connected equipment. You can also remotely change
UPS-related parameters, tailoring them to your
specific requirements, as well as display MIB
variables such as line voltage and frequency,
battery voltage, UPS load, and various alarms

| FERRUPS
Signal Splitter Box The
FERRUPS Signal Splitter Box allows a single FERRUPS UPS
to control the automatic shutdown of multiple computer
systems. This is accomplished by splitting one set of
basic relay contact outputs from the FERRUPS UPS into
four sets of basic relay contact outputs. These outputs
are in turn distributed to up to four computer systems
where a graceful shutdown can be accomplished using Powerware
CheckUPS II software. |
EnviroCom
I
The
EnviroCom I is an electronic watchman. It monitors specific environmental
and operating conditions of remote locations including AC power,
Temperature, High sound levels, or UPS Battery conditions. The
EnviroCom I is intended for use with the Powerware FERRUPS UPS
but can be used with other UPSs or as a stand-alone device. When
the EnviroCom I detects an abnormal condition, it will sequentially
dial up to four user-programmed telephone numbers with an alarm
message and repeat this process until its' message is properly
acknowledged.
EnviroCom
II
EnviroCom
II works in conjunction with a FERRUPS UPS unit to monitor and
respond to extended power outages, FERRUPS UPS alarms, high or
low termperature conditions, user-definable alarm contacts and
an auxiliary analog input. Upon sensing an alarm condition, EnviroCom
II calls up to four phone numbers in sequence. Each phone number
may be programmed to use either the built-in 1200 baud modem or
digital voice to warn the user.
