With Liebert’s internal Intellislot or external SiteNet EX SNMP Cards, the UPS can be integrated into any ethernet network with its own IP address, guaranteeing 100% communication uptime. SITENET® SNMP MANAGER SiteNet SNMP Manager allows Liebert UPS units to be integrated seamlessly into an existing network management system, with user friendly graphical interface screens designed to provide easy control of the UPS system. Working in conjunction with one or more Liebert UPS, managed with either a SiteNet SNMP card, SiteNet EX or SiteNet Integrator, every piece of connected equipment can be identified and labelled for quick reference and immediate action when there is a power emergency. 6 ■ Auto-discovery feature during installation identifies, labels and configures all Liebert UPS systems on the network. ■ Power flow screen provides real-time monitoring of UPS and power parameters. ■ Pull-down menus and toolbar for fast access to all programme areas. ■ Alarms and on screen messages can be tailored to individual requirements. ■ User definable load labels clearly identify the equipment protected by each UPS. ■ Remote UPS ON/OFF control. ■ Remote battery and diagnostics tests. ■ Compatible with all major network management systems.

The use of SiteNet 1 or SiteNet MultiLink software will ensure the safe shutdown of all systems connected through the MultiPort 8 without the need for any additional UPS. The MultiPort 8 contains a “pass through” port so that UPS supporting SiteNet 2 will still be monitored and controlled through SiteNet 2. INTELLISLOT MULTIPORT 4 Liebert’s latest extension to the Intellislot range of network cards for the PowerSure Interactive or UPStation GXT allows up to an extra 4 Servers to be monitored ”out-of-band” from the single UPS with SiteNet 1 or SiteNet MultiLink.

In addition to the orderly shutdown features of SiteNet 1, SiteNet 2 provides real-time monitoring and control within a graphical interface, between network servers and a Liebert UPS. Network administrators can fully customise the monitoring process and pre-program unlimited responses to power events. Its sophisticated event management capability allows total crisis management by invoking key actions such as operating system shutdown, command file execution and personnel notification whenever a UPS alarm condition occurs. ■ Complete identification of real-time power disturbances. ■ Graphical display of connected loads via the system menu and power flow screens. ■ Programmable UPS diagnostics and battery tests to ensure the UPS will always be ready when you need it most. ■ User-scheduled UPS ON/OFF times provide complete network security. ■ User-specified graphs and interactive meters identify potential power problems. ■ User-defined operating parameters can be set to meet individual system needs.

Liebert’s UPS communications family of SiteNet products provide protection for a basic network where only auto-shutdown of the operating system is required through to real time power monitoring, and UPS control with auto-shutdown of the operating system. A recent study assessed that the cost of service interruptions amongst US businesses costs $4 billion a year, equating to lost productivity of over 37 million hours.* Even with a small network using an ordinary PC as a server, advanced notification of power problems is just as important. A crash will lose the file allocation tables and passwords that access and drive the whole network, and if the server uses a cache to speed operations, any data held there would be lost forever. So avoiding potential problems caused by power failures is vital to businesses large and small. * Source: Contingency Planning Research Inc. 2 C W M O M M U N I C A T I O N I D E S C A L E T C O N I T O R I N G H R E A T P O N T R O L R O T E C T I O N SiteNet® Integrator SITENET INTEGRATOR SNMP MONITORING OF POWER, THE ENVIRONMENT & ALL OTHER THREATS TO YOUR NETWORK Network Management Stations As computing and telecommunication networks become more complex, and more vital to the success of your business, the range of possible threats increases significantly.
