Functional description
WAVEMON is a client/server software application for networks and local workstations. In general, it consists of two parts:
the server module of the UPS management software is
UPSMAN
which communicates with the UPS via an RS232/USB
interface. Running as a background application,
UPSMAN
collects and interprets the messages received from the UPS
and places them at the disposal of the client module
UPSMON,
as well as any connected SNMP-based instrumentation
and control system.
If
UPSMAN
detects voltage variations or a power failure, it can execute various ‘system event’ routines, by means of
which, for example, the server is switched off or a warning is sent to the connected users. These ‘system event’ routines
are a part of the management software and can be configured in accordance with local application requirements.
The software of your PowerWave 9000 UPS unit can be integrated into a network in two ways:
1. By the server which is supplied by the UPS itself and has been integrated into the network. In most cases this server
is used as a sub-agent and you only need the WAVEMON software (without an SNMP adapter). You will also need to
establish an RS232/USB connection between the UPS and computer/server.
2. In many cases the use of what is referred to as an ‘SNMP adapter’ is to be preferred in order to integrate the UPS into
the network. In this case up to 50 computers can be shut down in one RCCMD environment. RCCMD (remote console
command) is an additional software module that is used in order to execute a command (typically a shutdown
command) in a remote system.
Licensing
A licence is issued with every software serial number for use of what is known as the ‘UPS service’ on a single server in
connection with one UPS and an unlimited number of connected WINDOWS workstations. For operation with two or more
servers, a further licence is required for each additional server. In this case it is of no importance whether the UPS service
on these servers is active or whether the server was stopped by a remote UPS service. The same applies to the use of
RCCMD with the ‘remote send/receive’ modules for ‘multi-server shutdown’ under NT, UNIX and other operating systems.
The service programs are generally supplied as single licences. In order to use a single CD-ROM for several ‘multi-server
shut-down’ units you must acquire additional licence codes.
RCCMD Server shutdown
In order that remote shutdown of servers can take place, initiated by the SNMP card or WAVEMON software, further
licenses must be purchased. The license s for the RCCMD client (or listening) software that resides in each target server.
Note:
Virtual servers may not need a license per virtual server client. Please contact Technical Support to discuss you
requirements.
7.6.3 PowerREPORTER™ management software
PowerREPORTER™ is a remote monitoring and management service which is a part of the ‘premium power protection
concept’.
ThePowerREPORTER™ application:
• Provides affordable, continuous monitoring over mission-critical facilities and offers peace of mind by detecting and
warning of any potential system problems before they become a crisis.
• Acquires key performance parameters and productivity information in real-time to enable you to better understand
machine performance and faster troubleshoot downtime events
• Gives total transparent information concerning all actions performed on the system, such as all critical status
changes, coordination of equipment service, reporting of all alarms with priorities
