For this type of installation, the UPS must be connected to a special network interface in which the management software is installed.
The network board is then connected to the IP network.
Since the UPS is directly linked to the UPS network, its management system can send e-mail and pop-up messages, shutdown and power
the computer again.
Protection for the various computer s is guaranteed by equipping them with a software agent that receives commands from the network
interface of the UPS.
There are lots of advantages with this solution:
• The UPS can even be installed at a distance from the systems it
must protect
• the entire management no longer depends on one single computer,
e ectively guaranteeing that all the devices connected are protected.
• The data can be displayed via any WEB browser without dedicated
software having to be installed.
The following products are available for this type of installation:
• CS121 network interface + RCCMD software agent
• CS121B network interface + RCCMD software agent
• CS121 SK network interface + RCCMD software agent
• CS121B SK network interface + RCCMD software agent

It requires a software application that continuously monitors an even high number of UPS installed either locally or in remote sites.
All the alarms generated by the UPS through their respective management systems are received, via the IP network, by this application, which
memorizes them in a database and transmits a series of e-mail and pop-up messages to the operators who, by means of the WEB browser, are
quickly able to identify the UPS that generated the alarm and to make a complete and e cient diagnosis.
A Bank is a typical example of how this application can be used:
• Each branch has a UPS monitored by one of the previously described management systems, which controls and protects the local network
• The various di erent local networks are linked to each other permanently
• The monitoring station that continuosly controls all the UPS is installed in the headquarters
The advantage of this solution is the standard monitoring system which allows to manage UPS without having to know their IP address.
The software available for this type of application is called UNMS. Each UPS must be interfaced with UPS Supervisor, or with CS121 network
interfaces or with a system that supports the SNMP protocol.
