8.4 Interface Cables
Optionally, different cables can be provided for interface, shutdown and communication with computers.
These include the following:
• Cable AS400
This cable allows connection to the IBM AS400 or similar systems.
• MODEL 37 order code 279075.001
This is the standard cable supplied with POWER LAN and allows communication between the UPS
and Monitoring and Shutdown software. It connects to the RS-232 port on the POWER LAN and any
serial communications port (COM) on a computer.
8.5 LIFE
This option shall allow the remote monitoring of the UPS through dedicated telephone lines in order to
ensure the maximum reliability of the UPS throughout its operational life. The monitoring shall be a true 24
hour, *365 day service thanks to a unique feature that allows trained Service Engineers to be constantly in
contact electronically with the service centre and therefore the UPSs. The UPS shall automatically telephone
the service centre at defined intervals to provide detailed information that shall be analysed in order to
predict near term problems. In addition, it shall be possible to control the UPS remotely. To ensure complete
safety for the user and for the critical load, an active control device shall be utilised which disables the remote
connection when any one of the POWER LAN panels is removed for maintenance operations.
The transmission of UPS data to the CHLORIDE Service Centre shall take place via modem at the following
intervals:
• ROUTINE: typically once a week
• EMERGENCY: when a problem occurs or the operating parameters remain outside the tolerance limits
• MANUAL: upon customer’s request
• BI-DIRECTIONAL: following the request of the service centre
During the call the service centre shall:
• Identify the connected UPS.
• Recognise the type of call
• Request the data stored in the UPS memory during the time interval since the last connection
• Request real time information from the UPS (selectable)
The service centre shall analyse historical data and issue a regular detailed report to the customer informing
him of the UPS operational condition and any critical parameters.
8.6 SNMP Adapter
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) adapter shall allow the network administrator to analyse
and monitor Power Lan series from any point on the network.
The adapter is compatible with MIBII (Management Information Base) which defines the type of information
transferred between the NMS (Network Management Station) and Power Lan The NMS supported are:
HP Openview for Windows
SunNet Manager
Novell NMS
IBM Netview
The connectors available are of the BNC and RJ45 type for Ethernet networks.
8.7 Shutdown Software
This option shall allow a controlled and systematic shutdown of systems supported by both standalone and
