1.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
SiteScan Web uses a network of microprocessor-based control modules to monitor and control Liebert
air, power, UPS and other critical equipment.
SiteScan Web enables the user to monitor and control equipment in a single building, an entire
campus or a network of facilities around the globe. A SiteScan Web system utilizes a Web-based
server running Windows XP, 2003 Server or 2000 and a conventional Web browser to gather
information, change operating parameters, run reports and perform similar functions on various
types of critical equipment.
A central Web-based server communicates with control modules and generates Web pages, which the
customer can access using a conventional Web browser. Through SiteScan Web, the customer can
gather information, change operating parameters, run reports and perform other critical monitoring
system functions on equipment in a single facility or in dozens of locations.
The Web server and Liebert gateway communicate over an Ethernet network. The Liebert gateway
communicates to the Liebert control modules using the Control Module network (CMnet) and the
ARCnet156 protocol. The control modules communicate with the Liebert environmental and power
equipment using the Information Gathering Network (IGMnet) or to contact closure equipment using
a signal cable.
Customers access the information presented as a result of these functions using a Web browser.
Internet Explorer is the browser supported by the SSWEB server.
