COMMUNICATION
11
The UPS provides excellent protection against interruptions or imperfections in the mains power supply. In these
cases the computer (load) is powered by the UPS using battery power until this runs out.
Various software applications and communication options are available to optimise operation of the UPS and to
correctly manage shutdown when back-up power ends. The status of the UPS can be monitored, keeping track of
all the mains failures and battery discharges so as to activate an automatic and orderly procedure to close the pro-
grams and shutdown the system. When mains power returns the system will restart automatically.
All Netys models are equipped with RS232 and USB communication interface (USB not available on the Netys PR
1000 model).
11.1 COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS.
Depending on the model, there are dierent types of connections and software compatibility as shown in the table
below:
Uni Vision• : local management software for local shutdown of Windows™ & Linux systems, free on
www.socomec.com - RS232 interface
Uni Vision Pro• : network management software for local and remote shutdown: supports the major operating
systems through Java Shutdown Client technology - RS232 interface
HID• : UPS management based on Windows™ embedded service - USB interface
NetVision• : Web/SNMP manager for UPS control over LAN with TCP/IP protocol. Allows remote shutdown through
Java Shutdown Client technology - Web/SNMP card
BMS• : possibility to integrate the UPS with BMS (Building Management Systems) - JBUS protocol
11.2 RS232 INTERFACE.
Communication with the server can take place directly via the RS232 interface.
In addition to local or networked shutdown it is possible to perform full monitoring of the electrical parameters
regarding battery status and the automatic programming of the UPS start-up and shutdown procedures.
For a complete description of the software features, refer to the Uni Vision and Uni Vision Pro documentation.
11.3 USB INTERFACE.
In addition to the RS232 serial link, it is also possible to establish communication directly through USB with the
HID protocol, when this is available in the operating system. In this case, no SW needs to be installed. A standard
USB cable is used and once this is connected, it is recognised just as any normal peripheral. The control param-
eters of the unit can be set directly via the operating system service menu.
11.4 NET VISION CARD FOR SLOT.
Net Vision permits direct connection of the UPS to a LAN (RJ45 Ethernet) and remote control of the UPS through
TCP/IP using a WEB browser. For a complete description, refer to the Net Vision documentation.
