1 EATON Network Solution
1.1 General Presentation
EATON Network Solution:
Provides information on events concerning the supply of power to the computers connected to your network,
Carries out automatic shutdown of computer systems,
Monitors and controls all the UPSs connected to the network.
EATON Network Solution provides 3 main functions:
Supervision of the UPSs over the Network: Web browser, Intelligent Power Manager, or SNMP Network
Management System (NMS).
Protection of the computers (multi-platform) with Intelligent Power Protector
Connexion of the UPS to the Network.

Network Management Card – User Manual 34003991XT_EN/EF Page 7/127
1.1.1 Connecting the UPS to the Ethernet network
This function can be performed through network Cards inserted in the UPS (Network Management Card).
Also a software "agent" running on a nearby PC that is called the IPP Shutdown controller feature can be used.
IPP Shutdown controller feature allows USB or Serial connected UPS to be seen on the network through the PC.
The Network Management Card or Proxy:
Manages communication with the UPS (as well as local protection of the machine on which Proxy is installed).
Periodically accesses the information concerning the UPS.
Makes this information available to the connected applications (Intelligent Power Protector, Web Browser,
Network Management Systems, Intelligent Power Manager).
Sends notifications on certain events.
Operation may be in standard secure mode (the default mode) or in SSL secured mode (Secure Socket Layer
SSL).
1.1.2 Protection of the computers/servers
This function is performed by Intelligent Power Protector installed on each of the computers to be protected.
Note that Intelligent Power Protector are available on several Operating Systems.
Protection applications:
Continuously gets information from the Network Management Card/Proxy connected to the UPS.
Warns administrators and users if AC power fails and proceeds to a graceful system shutdown before the end of
battery backup power is reached.

Network Management Card – User Manual 34003991XT_EN/EF Page 8/127
1.1.3 Supervision of the UPSs over the network
Depending on your needs, you can either use:
Internet browser to monitor each UPS, as IPP Shutdown Controller and Management Card includes a Web server
Company’s standard Network Management System (HP-Openview, CA Unicenter, HP Insight Manager, IBM
Tivoli Netview)
To simplify integration of EATON UPSs, use one of the Network Management System Kits for EATON devices.
These kits are available on the Software Suite CD-ROM or on the http://powerquality.eaton.com website.
The supervisor "Intelligent Power Manager".
1.1.4 Connection
Before installing the Network Solution, the UPS must be set up as indicated in the steps below.
Shut down the computers to be protected by the UPS.
Connect the UPS to a wall outlet. (For UPSs above 3kVA, please refer to the UPS installation manual).
Connect the power cord of each computer to an outlet on the UPS. (For more details, please refer to the UPS
installation manual)

Network Management Card – User Manual 34003991XT_EN/EF Page 9/127
1.1.4.1 How to connect UPS / agent / network:
Insert the optional NMC communication card in the UPS and connect the UPS to the computer network.
Start the UPS, then the computers.
1.1.4.2 Setting up the protection:
Set up the Network Management Card (see user manual).
Install and configure the protection application on all machines that are to be protected by the UPS:
Intelligent Power Protector for EATON Pulsar series UPS: The software components for each platform and the
user manuals are on the Software Suite CD or available at http://powerquality.eaton.com

Network Management Card acquires information regarding the operation status of the UPS systems and provides
remote control of the system through the ETHERNET network from any SNMP administration station or Web
browser.
NMC also supplies alarms to the Intelligent Power Protector in order to trigger shutdowns or manage other
automatic actions on protected servers.
1.2.2 Direct sending of E-mail
When a UPS event occurs, the Network Management Card can directly notify up to 4 addresses by e-mail.
(see E-mail Notification and E-mail message settings)

Network Management Card – User Manual 34003991XT_EN/EF Page 11/127
1.2.3 Sending text messages (SMS)
SMS notification requires the use of a third-party application that converts emails to SMS. The card offers the
possibility of redirecting UPS alarms to an e-mail server. The format of these e-mails is compatible with mobile
telephone e-mail/SMS transfer systems proposed by ISPs. The format to be used depends on the service
provider.
For example, [e-mail] (text messages).
1.2.4 Compatibility with the Network Management Systems (NMS) – Trap sending
The Network Management Cards are compatible with the major Network Management Systems (IBM Tivoli,
CA Unicenter, HP Insight Manager). The Software Suite offering includes the necessary SNMP plug-ins to
allow an easy integration in the NMS. Events are notified by SNMP trap.
NMS can subscribe on page “Notified Applications”
The trap list is given in the appendix.
1.2.5 Environment Sensor (option)
The optional Environment Sensor (EMP) solution can be connected to the Card Settings port of the
Network Management Cards.
Environment Sensor enables measurement of temperature and humidity around the UPS, allows managing
external alarms via 2 dry contacts and notification of alarms according to pre-programmed thresholds. (see
Environment Status and Environment Configuration)

Pulsar series or EATON Powerware series equipped with a Minislot without having to shut it down.
On the UPS, remove the cover from the Minislot
Note the card's MAC address
Insert and tighten the card's retaining screws
Connect the ETHERNET cable
Wait 2 min. the card is completely operational when the green UPS Data LED flashes continuously

Network Management Card – User Manual 34003991XT_EN/EF Page 19/127
2.4 Sensor installation (option)
The Environment sensor is available as an option for the Network Management Card and is available from
EATON (EMP).
The sensor allows remote monitoring of the UPS's environment through regular measurements: temperature,
humidity, status of two external contacts. It also enables notification of alarms (e-mail, trap SNMP) according to
pre-programmed thresholds.
It is connected to the Service port (Settings/Sensor) directly on the Network Management Card with a standard
Ethernet cable (10 meters maximum).
Recognition is automatic. Supervision and configuration are performed via a menu that can be accessed directly
from the home page.
