UPS INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATIONS
The UPStation GXT™ UPS has the capability to communicate intelligently with
stand alone computers, network workstations, network servers, or UNIX hosts via
the DB-9 female connector located at the rear of the UPS. By purchasing the
optional Liebert SiteNet® 2 software package (sold separately), intelligent
communications allows the following capabilities:
-
Quantitative monitoring of mains and UPS power
-
Quantitative monitoring of internal UPS parameters
-
Periodic tests of battery quality and replacement notification
-
Timed and delayed shutdown of the UPS
-
Logging of power disturbances and anomalies
Consult your local Liebert sales representative for more information about
SiteNet® 2 software.
UPS INTELLISLOT™ COMMUNICATIONS
The UPStation GXT™ UPS contains an Intellislot™ communications port for the
optional internal Ethernet SNMP card. Optional SiteNet® SNMP Manager
software is available to allow communication through several network
management systems. Contact your local Liebert representative, dealer, or
reseller.
CAUTION: TO MAINTAIN SAFETY (SELV) BARRIERS AND FOR
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATABILITY, SIGNAL CABLES SHOULD BE
SEGREGATED AND RUN SEPARATE FROM ALL OTHER POWER CABLES,
WHERE APPLICABLE.
MAINTENANCE
The UPStation GXT™ UPS requires very little maintenance. The batteries are
valve regulated, nonspillable, lead acid, and should be kept charged to obtain
their designed life. The UPS continuously charges the batteries when connected
to the mains supply.
When storing the UPS for any length of time, it is recommended to plug the UPS
in for at least 24 hours every four to six months to ensure full recharge of the
batteries.
The UPStation GXT™ UPS is designed to allow the user to safely replace the
batteries. Read the safety cautions before proceeding. Contact your dealer to
obtain the appropriate replacement battery kit.
