I. 1. What is NetMan ?
This device is a network interface between the UPS and the LAN, is able to communicate in
severals way:
• TCP/IP UDP to be used in combination with our management software that is available for
all the common operating systems present on the market.
• HTTP to monitor the UPS status directly from a normal web browser without any added
software
• Telnet to configure the NetMan throw the network
• NetMan is able also to manage a modem. This is used to call the service center, that
immediately report the UPS failure.
I. 2. What is SNMP ?
With nowadays market environment using computer networks which become larger
and more complex, it is important to protect precious and confidential information and data.
Your computer systems connected to an uninterruptible power supply prevents from any data
loss in case of electricity outage. And what you need is a reliable equipment for monitoring and
control over each UPS within your computer system.
To monitor critical or operational states there is a standard network protocol for
network management - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This protocol is a
particle of IP protocols set even when there are solutions based on other network protocols
(IPX, etc.).
A PC or workstation supported by your UPS may perform the critical function that
cannot be cancelled by the provided network station monitoring. Or, your UPS may support
peripheral accessories and not the PC or workstation that has the ability, with suitable
software, to monitor the UPS directly via a serial interface network solution for monitoring
and control of the UPS.
