Back-UPS Pro 500 BG500 120 Vac22
Web based Management Interface
The purpose of the Web based Management Interface is to allow users to remotely access and view UPS settings
and state. Through this interface users can monitor energy usage per outlet and remotely control Smart Outlets,
turning them on / off and enabling / disabling intelligent services like Energy Management and Watchdog. Most
importantly users can make smart decisions about how to manage the devices connected to their UPS in a way
specific to their needs.
Network Management Features
Network Quick Configuration
There are 3 important steps to follow
before you can manage the Back-UPS
Pro.
Step 1: Connect the unit to the network.
Step 2: Discover the IP address of the
unit.
Step 3: Access the Web management
interface.
Connect the unit to the network
To install the Back-UPS Pro onto a
network and access the Web based
management interface, you have to
connect the Network Management port
on the back of the UPS to a router or switch.
Discover the IP address of the unit
Out of the box the Back-UPS Pro will get an IP Address from the network via DHCP. In order to connect to the UPS
we must first discover that IP Address using the Device IP configuration Wizard. Use the following steps to install
and run the Device IP Configuration Wizard. For non-Windows based platforms, the IP Address can be obtained by
accessing your DHCP server and pulling the IP Address directly or the UPS must be configured to have a static IP
Address.
Note: If an anti-virus is installed to block the software in your computer, configure the anti-virus setting
to permit the Device IP Wizard to access the network.
Check Battery state and
capacity
See approximate runtime available from the UPS when the UPS is on battery. The interface also indicates the
condition of the battery, if it is in good condition or if it needs to be replaced.
Energy Management
Smart Outlets can be set to off when there is no load on the master outlet.
Monitor Energy
Utilization
View energy usage and approximate cost of energy consumed by outlet or for all the outlets combined.
Backup / Surge
configuration
All 4 outlets on the UPS offer surge protection whether the unit is on or off. The default configuration is for all
4 outlets to offer backup protection. The top two Backup outlets are full-time battery backup and the two
Smart Outlets can be configured to provide battery backup or be surge only with no battery backup protection.
This configuration is used for non-critical functions that don't need power during an outage.
Watchdog Utility
Detects when there is loss of Internet connectivity and can automatically reboot networking equipment to try
to restore connection.
Manage Network
configurations
The Back-UPS Pro has a full range of networking features such as support for IPV4 / IPV6 addressing.
Remotely turn on and off
UPS

unit even if the UPS is off the Network Management interface is still accessible and can be used to turn on the
UPS.
