WAVEMON Shutdown and Management Software
7.5.1 Why is UPS Management important?
By combining a UPS with a variety of network management products, such as orderly shutdown software and
SNMP adaptors, system-administrators can be assured that their electricity supplies are monitored for power
disruptions and depleted battery conditions. Such conditions pose the greatest threat through power
disturbance to valuable computer data by causing possible corruption or loss. By installing UPS/Mains
monitoring software, administrators are able to monitor the utility power from a central location, allowing early
warning of problems even across more complex systems like Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Enterprise
Wide Networks of multinational companies.
A prolonged mains failure may outlast the battery autonomy of the UPS system. If this situation occurs the
UPS management software will initiate an automatic, ‘controlled’ shutdown of the operating system, and so
protect valuable data. Kohler Uninterruptible Power offer a wide range of local and remote monitoring and
control systems, affording maximum protection for computer systems.
7.5.2 WAVEMON Shutdown and Monitoring Software
WAVEMON is an external monitoring and shutdown software application that is designed to operate with
many of Kohler Uninterruptible Power UPS products. The package comprises a software installation CD
suitable for most server operating systems, a standard cable set and a user manual
The WAVEMON system can monitor the dry port relay contacts available on terminal block X2, together with
an RS232 port (JD11) – both located on the communications card.
When the WAVEMON system is used to monitor the X2 dry port contacts it is necessary to connect the X2
terminals of the UPS to the serial port of the server using a 0.5 mm
2
cable.
