LIEBERT KEEPING BUSINESS IN BUSINESS
“Unless you have a very problematic mains utility
supply there is little to choose between hardware but
good shutdown software can make the difference
between a UPS that is a pleasure to configure and one
that nobody bothers to set up correctly. In this
respect, SiteNet is an excellent package with
comprehensive status screens and event logging
diagnostics.”
VNU Labs, PC Lan Recommended
“Liebert has a range of hardware on offer backed by
powerful management and monitoring utilities. It’s the
supporting software that makes the SiteNet products
stand out with two sets of utilities available to work
with the UPS equipment. Easy to install and use, the
SiteNet software complements the Liebert hardware.”

SiteNet® SNMP Manager
SNMP AGENTS
In enterprise-wide network installations you need the
UPS to become an integral part of the network, and
not to rely upon other devices for communication.
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.

Liebert’s MultiPort 8 acts as an “out-of-band”
communications multiplexer which can connect up
to eight servers to a single Liebert UPS, and even
more by “daisy-chaining” units together. 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.

SiteNet® 2
The next level of shutdown solution. 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.

EXPANDING NETWORKS NEED
REAL TIME POWER MONITORING…
…for ongoing quality assurance
COMPREHENSIVE
COVER FOR
CRITICAL
NETWORKS
Whether your network
comprises of just a few PCs
networked together, or forms
a complex enterprise wide
installation, effective network
power communications and control is
vital to your operation. 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.
