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.

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)

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)
