rotocol (SNMP) is a worldwide-standardized communication-
protocol. It is used to monitor any device in the network via simple control language. The UPS-
Management Software also provides its data in this SNMP format with its internal software agent. The
operating system you are using must support the SNMP protocol. We offer our software with SNMP
functionality for Novell, OS/2, all Windows running on INTEL and ALPHA, DEC VMS, Apple.
Two types of SNMP interfaces with identical functionality are available: an external SNMP-Adapter
(Box) and an internal SNMP-Card. Both can manage a parallel system (N modules) and return either
global values - which are consistent for the whole parallel system - or specific values from the single
modules.
Figure 7.6 SNMP Adapter
The adapter may be configured via Telnet, HTTP (Web-Browser) or serial connection (Terminal). For
normal operation at least one network connection (Ethernet) is required.
The SNMP adapter can be used, utilising the RCCMD send function, for an automatic network wide
shut down or just for informing connected users. The shut down procedure can be initiated on a low
residual battery autonomy time (downtime) or by a countdown timer which is started at the beginning
of the alarm. A shut down is therefore possible without extra input from the operator, and is fully
software controlled.
The small (125x70 mm) External SNMP adapter comes with following interfaces:
1. RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Base-T(autoswitchable)
2. Serial Port for configuration (COM2) or optional ModBus interface.
3. Error/Link LED for UPS status

This adapter communicates via the serial
port of the UPS and makes a direct multiple server shut down possible
without additional SNMP management software.

RCCMD - Remote Console Command module
for a multi-server shutdown. This stand-alone
software module is designed to receive and execute a command issued by a remote device. Thanks to
RCCMD it is possible to execute a shutdown in an heterogeneous multiplatform network. The new
release RCCMD2 is an application available for all Operating Systems, analogous to Wavemon. Our
SNMP Interfaces are compatible to RCCMD
