7.2 WAVEMON Shutdown and Management Software
7.2.1 Why is UPS Management important?
By combining a UPS with network management products, such as an SNMP protocol, System-
administrators are guaranteed their data and their system will constantly be protected from
corruption or data loss even in the event of an extended power failure or when batteries reach a
critical low state. In the event of a power disturbance system administrators can also monitor their
network from a central location, allowing an early detection of problems. In fact utility power is
unreliable at times, ensuring that all network systems have constant power can be a difficult task.
The situation becomes even more complex if systems are managed across a Local Area Network
(LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) around the world.
When a power failure occurs action can be taken to protect the system and its valuable data. If no
action is initiated by the operator, this event can seriously damage the system. The UPS software
will react automatically in such a case and shutdown the operating system. NEWAVE has found it
important to have a complete solution for its UPS and is able to offer a wide range of
monitoring/remote controls for assuring the maximum protection degree to the NEWAVE
customers.
7.2.2 Wavemon Shutdown and Monitoring Software
Wavemon is an external monitoring and shutdown software which was designed to operate with all
NEWAVE UPS products, both with the DRY PORT (Relays) X1-X21 and SMART PORT (RS232) JD1.
The software packet consists of a CD ROM for most diffused operating systems (Windows, Unix,
OS/2, DEC VMS, Novell, Apple), a standard connection and a user manual.
The 25 pin port with voltage-free contacts may also be used for automatic shutdown in connection
with wavemon. It is necessary to provide a special cable to connect the 25 pin port of the UPS and
the serial port of the server.

The main characteristics of wavemon software are:
• Automatic unattended master/slave shutdown in heterogeneous networks
• On-screen autonomy time / battery time countdown
• On-screen server log off and shutdown procedure
• Extensive logging of all UPS activity and power quality data, with timestamp
• Scheduled UPS economy mode, service mode, other systems status
• Graphical user interface for Windows compatible platforms
