1.4 Connecting the UPS
1.4.1 Connecting to the Network
This function can be performed either through network Cards inserted in the UPS (Network Management
Card) or through a software “agent” running on a nearby PC that is called the Network Management Proxy.
Note that the Network Management Proxy is available only on Windows.
The Network Management Card or Proxy:
z
manages communication with the UPS (as well as local protection of the machine on which Proxy is
installed),
z
periodically accesses the information concerning the UPS,
z
makes this information available to the connected applications (Network Shutdown Modules, Web
Browser, Network Management Systems, Enterprise Power Manager)
1.4.2 Select Network Architecture
Below are two software and hardware architectures showing how EATON UPSs can protect several
computers. These typical examples are intended to assist you in designing your own architecture.
Connection with Network Management Card
On the diagram above, the following two types of connections are required:
z
the electrical power cables,
z
the TCP/IP communication network.
