UPS MONITORING
The UPStation GXT UPS has the capability of being monitored with stand alone
computers, network workstations, network servers, or UNIX hosts via the DB-9
socket located on the rear of the UPS.
This capability is used in applications requiring the UPS to provide status and
power monitoring information to the computer system. For example, during a
mains power failure, the information can be used by the computer’s operating
system or application program to automatically save information in buffers, to
close files, and shut down operations prior to battery capacity depletion.
Monitoring of the UPS via a computer is as easy as downloading SiteNet®
MultiLink™ free from our web site (www.liebert.com). A MultiLink cable may also
be built by following instructions provided on our web page. You may also
purchase a Liebert SiteNet® 1 shutdown kit (sold separately). Consult your local
Liebert representative to determine the correct software kit for your application.
The kit includes shutdown software and a special purpose cable.
UPS INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATIONS
The UPStation GXT UPS has the capability to communicate intelligently with
stand alone computers, network workstations, network servers, or UNIX hosts via
the DB-9 socket located at the rear of the UPS. By purchasing the optional
Liebert SiteNet® 2 software
package (sold separately), intelligent
communications allows the following capabilities:
- Quantitative monitoring of mains and UPS power
- Quantitative monitoring of internal UPS parameters
- Periodic tests of battery quality and replacement notification
- Timed and delayed shutdown of the UPS
- Logging of power disturbances and anomalies
Consult your local Liebert sales representative for more information about
SiteNet® 2 software.
UPS INTELLISLOT™ COMMUNICATIONS
The UPStation GXT UPS contains an Intellislot™ communications port for the
optional internal MultiPort 4 card, AS400 card, or Ethernet SNMP card. Optional
SiteNet® SNMP Manager software is available to allow communication through
several network management systems to be used in conjunction with the
Intellislot SNMP card. Contact your local Liebert representative, dealer, or
reseller.
