Connecting The Ups To The Ethernet Network; Protection Of The Computers/Servers - MGE UPS Systems 66102 User Manual

1.1.1 Connecting the UPS to the Ethernet 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.
The Network Management Card or Proxy:
- manages communication with the UPS (as well as local protection of the machine on which Proxy is installed)
- periodically accesses the information concerning the UPS
- makes this information available to the connected applications (Network Shutdown Modules, Web Browser, Network
Management Systems, Enterprise Power Manager)
- sends notifications on certain events.
Operation may be in standard secure mode (the default mode) or in SSL secure mode (Secure Socket Layer SSL).

1.1.2 Protection of the computers/servers

This function is performed by the Network Shutdown Module installed on each of the servers to be protected.
Note that the Shutdown Module is available on several Operating Systems.
The Network Shutdown Module:
Continuously waits for information from the Network Management Card/Proxy connected to the MGE Office Protection
Systems.
Warns administrators and users if AC power fails and proceeds with graceful system shutdown before the end of
battery backup
power is reached.
