8 USE
8.1 SNMP AGENT
The SNMP agent can be used for two applications:
•
NMS (Network Management Software)
The card allows you to monitor a UPS with any NMS (eg. Tivoli, HP-Openview or CA Unicenter) to
detect and react on any status change of the UPS.
For this type of application the card needs to be configured to send traps to the computer on which
the NMS runs.
Up to four different trap addresses are configurable.
• Protection software
Besides from monitoring a locally connected UPS, protection software can also monitor the status
of a UPS via the network when it has an SNMP agent installed.
This creates the ability to configure very flexible protection schemes.
A typical example is an application server, which is depending on a database server.
The protection software on the application server will detect a power failure on the database server
and will start to close all database connections before the database server shuts itself down.
8.2 WEB SERVER
The built-in web server functionality enables the user to monitor and control the UPS using a standard
internet browser.
The offered information of the web server gives a complete and detailed status overview in a very user
friendly way.
Besides, measurement values of the UPS and complete configuration can be done via the web browser.
8.2.1 Login and Identification web page

and enter the TCP/IP address of the card in the address line of your browser.
