The dry port X2 with voltage-free contacts may also be used for automatic shutdown in connection with
WAVEMON Software
. It is necessary to provide a cable of 0.5 mm2 to connect Terminals X2 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
•
Automatic unattended local shutdown
•
Special software modules to close and save open MS-Office documents.
•
Compatible for all optional modules like UPSDIALER, SNMP adapters, Temperature sensors,
etc.The UPS-Management Software is a client-/server-application for networks and local
workstations. Basically
WAVEMON-Software
consists of two parts: the server-module of the UPS-Management
Software is
UPSServ
, which communicates via RS-232 cable with the UPS. Working as a background process the
UPSServ collects messages, received from the UPS. The UPSServ interprets received messages and makes them
available to the client-module
UPSCli
and to any SNMP-based management station.
When UPSServ detects voltage variations or a power failure it can execute various so called system „event
routines“, which for example may shutdown the server or send warning to connected users. These system event
routines which are a part of the UPS-Management Software can be adjusted to your demands.
The UPS management software includes with every serial number the licence for using the UPS service on one
server with one UPS and an unlimited numbers of connected WINDOWS workstations. When operating with two or
more servers a licence for every additional server is required. It doesn’t matter if the UPS service runs at that
location or if the server is halted by a UPS service via remote command. The same regulations are applicable to
the use of remote send/receive modules RCCMD and multiserver shutdown under NT, UNIX and other operating
systems. The service programs are generally delivered as a single-licence. To use a single CD ROM to shutdown
multiple servers you have to purchase additional CD license keys.
Parallel/redundant UPS systems are also manageable by the software.
The main principle is: let introduce a shutdown of a Server only when strictly necessary. A correct Parallel Handling
has therefore to manage a parallel system as a whole and always considering redundancy. Following statements
apply:
