Light Emitting Diode
Electronic semi-conductor component,
commonly referred to as an LED, used for optic
signalling.
Simple Network Management Protocol
A protocol encountered frequently in networks
for managing / handling components
Output Voltage and Frequency Dependent from
mains supply
The UPS output is dependent on mains voltage
and frequency fluctuations. Earlier designation:
OFFLINE
Output Voltage Independent from mains supply
The UPS output is dependent on mains
frequency fluctuations, but the mains voltage is
prepared by electronic / passive voltage control
units. Earlier designation: LINE-INTERACTIVE
Output Voltage and Frequency Independent
from mains supply
The UPS output is independent from mains
voltage and frequency fluctuations. Earlier
designation: ONLINE
