1.0 Introduction
OmniGuardTM Power Management Software is a UPS environment control management
application for Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, 2000, Linux and Solaris operating
systems. OmniGuardTM Power Management Software monitors the UPS connected to the
hostsystemthrough a RS 232 serial cable with any remote system connected to this host
through the Internet.
Through the system’s web browser, the user can monitor and change the host system’s
IP, Date, and System Name. Also the provision for PPP configuration isprovided through
which the users in the remote system can connect/disconnect the dial-up connection. The
software upgrade operation can be carried out from the remote system through the
software upgrade option. These are the operations carried out in the host system/server
where the UPS is connected physically.
The environment control screen displays the meter readings from the UPS. Logs are
maintained for the UPS readings, and can later be viewed in a structured format. The
duration in which the logs are recorded is user defined. The events are graphed for such
parameters like Input voltage, Input frequency, Output Voltage, Output frequency and
several other variables.
The user can configure the UPS for scheduled parameters like alarms, shutdown types, shutdown
duration, restart duration etc. Specific and general schedules can be configured and monitored for
all such events.
