Special Symbols The following are examples of symbols used on the UPS or accessories to alert you to important information: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - Observe the warning associated with the risk of electric shock symbol. CAUTION: REFER TO OPERATOR'S MANUAL - Refer to your operator's manual for additional information, such as important operating and maintenance instructions.
Network Card-MS works with Eaton UPS Management Software to monitor, manage, and protect uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) through standard Web pages, a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security protocol. The Network Card-MS can support up to five connected browsers at a time, or three with SSL protocol.

Getting Started Installing the Card The Network Card-MS can be installed in any Eaton UPS equipped with a communication bay without turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load. To install the Network Card-MS: Remove the communication bay cover from the UPS. Retain the screws.
Monitor current and historical environmental data. The EMP is connected to the Settings/Sensor port directly on the Network Card-MS with a standard Ethernet cable (20 meters maximum). Recognition is automatic. An Environment section is added to the main menu of the Web interface (see Figure 4).
Page 14
Getting Started Plug the other end of the serial cable into the serial COM port on the computer. Connect an active Ethernet cable (not supplied) to the Ethernet port on the Network Card-MS (see Figure 5). Wait approximately two minutes until the UPS Data LED flashes regularly, indicating normal operation.

The trap is sent to the management station to inform it of the occurrence. UPS MIB The Network Card-MS implements the full IETF standard UPS MIB (RFC 1628), including the IETF alarm table. The IETF traps are implemented. Visit www.eaton.com/powerquality or http://tools.ietf.org for a description of the MIB.
The Network Card-MS implements the reduced Eaton Pulsar MIB (MGE MIB); only the objects listed in Table 23 and Table 24are managed. The entire MIB description is available at www.eaton.com/powerquality. Table 24 lists objects that are managed if there is an optional EMP installed. The Eaton Pulsar MIB trap access path is 1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.
Connect the card to a computer equipped with an emulator such as HyperTerminal. Set the serial link at 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Verify that the UPS power is on.

Upgrading the Firmware You can update the card’s firmware by downloading the appropriate file. During the upgrade process, the Network Card-MS does not monitor the UPS status. To upgrade the firmware: Download the new firmware version to your computer from the Web and note the location.
At the end of the shutdown procedure, when all servers have been shut down, the UPS may shut down to avoid unnecessary discharge of its batteries, depending on its configuration. NOTE See “Shutdown Parameters” on page 29 to configure the shutdown parameters. Eaton Network Card-MS User’s Guide P-164000100—Rev 1 www.eaton.com/powerquality...

NetWatch and NSMs are compatible with load segments. After connecting the server electrically to one of the load segments, NetWatch and NSM must be informed of the load segment number to which it is connected. Refer to NetWatch/NSM documentation. Go to www.eaton.com/powerquality to download the software. Load Shedding or Sequential Shutdown You can optimize backup time by shutting down non-priority equipment or sequencing the shutdown of several devices.
Extended Power Outage, Shutdown Initiated by the Shutdown Timer (Shutdown After) During battery backup time, the Shutdown Timer of the Network Card-MS is reached. After a user-defined backup time period (see “Shutdown Parameters” on page 29), the shutdown of all servers is initiated, followed by the UPS shutdown (depending on its configuration).

Table 27). Based on these values (maximum shutdown duration of all subscribed customer systems), the card sends the delayed shutdown order to the UPS. If the UPS has two Network Card-MS cards, the maximum shutdown duration of the two groups of protected systems is used for the delayed shutdown order.
