1 Introduction to the EATON’s Network Solution
1.1 Overview
EATON’s Network Solution:
zprovides information on events concerning the supply of power to the computers connected to your
computer network,
zcarries out automatic shutdown of computer systems,
zmonitors and controls all the UPSs connected to the network.
As illustrated in the picture below, EATON Network Solution provides these 3 main functions:
zsupervising the UPSs over the Network,
zprotecting the computers,
zconnecting the UPS to the Network.
The functions of EATON’s Network offering

Network Shutdown Module V3 – User Manual - 34 003 934 XU / AE Page 4/65
1.2 Monitoring the UPSs over the network
Depending on your needs, you can either use:
your Internet browser to monitor each UPS, as
Management Proxy, Management Card and
Shutdown Module include a Web server.
your company’s standard Network Management
System:
>HP-Openview,
>CA Unicenter,
>HP Insight Manager,
>IBM Tivoli Netview,
>…
To simplify integration of EATON UPSs with these
NMS, you can use one of the Network Management
System Kits for EATON devices. These kits are
available on Management Pac 2 CD-Rom (ref 66923).

Network Shutdown Module V3 – User Manual - 34 003 934 XU / AE Page 5/65
1.3 Protecting the computers / servers
The Network Shutdown Module installed on each of the servers to be protected performs this function. Note
that the Shutdown Module is available on several Operating Systems.
The Shutdown modules:
zcontinuously wait for information from the Mgt. Proxy or Mgt. Card connected to the EATON UPS.
zwarns administrators and users if AC power fails and proceeds with graceful system shutdown before the
end of battery backup power is reached.
New functions:
The Network Shutdown Module V 3.20 offers the “mass configuration” advanced management feature
through Enterprise Power Manager 2.20.
The version V3 of the Network Shutdown Module:
zoffers a remote supervision interface through any web browser (with a secured SSL/HTTPS connection
enabled by default),
zmanages multi UPS redundant configurations (see “Multi-UPS systems” chapter )
zSeveral UPSs in parallel
>2 UPSs in Hot standby (or serial) redundancy
>2 redundant UPSs through Static Transfer Switch
>UPSs powering a server with multiple power supplies
UPSs powering servers with multiple power supplies
zmanages switchable outlets
With this version you can trigger shutdown sequences with switchable outlets.

Network Shutdown Module V3 – User Manual - 34 003 934 XU / AE Page 6/65
1.4 Connecting the UPS
1.4.1 Connecting to the Network
This function can be performed either through network Cards inserted in the UPS (Network Management
Card) or through a software “agent” running on a nearby PC that is called the Network Management Proxy.
Note that the Network Management Proxy is available only on Windows.
The Network Management Card or Proxy:
zmanages communication with the UPS (as well as local protection of the machine on which Proxy is
installed),
zperiodically accesses the information concerning the UPS,
zmakes this information available to the connected applications (Network Shutdown Modules, Web
Browser, Network Management Systems, Enterprise Power Manager)
1.4.2 Select Network Architecture
Below are two software and hardware architectures showing how EATON UPSs can protect several
computers. These typical examples are intended to assist you in designing your own architecture.
Connection with Network Management Card
On the diagram above, the following two types of connections are required:
zthe electrical power cables,
zthe TCP/IP communication network.

www.eaton.com
Network Shutdown Module V3 – User Manual - 34 003 934 XU / AE Page 7/65
Connection with Network Management Proxy
On the diagram above, three types of connections are required:
za point-to-point link (serial or USB),
zthe electrical power cables,
zthe TCP/IP communication network.
1.4.3 Network Performances
The Network Management Card is designed to support a maximum of:
z35 Network Shutdown Module connections in standard secure mode
z100 connections with NSM 3.10 min. and NMC 66102/DA min. in UDP mode
Network Management Proxy, installed on a dedicated server, with at least 500 MB of Ram and a 1 GHz
CPU, is designed to support a maximum of:
z250 Network Shutdown Module connections in standard secure mode.

2 Installation
Note: This user manual only applies to Network Shutdown Module V3. For previous versions of Network
Shutdown Module V2.x, please read the HTML on line manual.
2.1 Hardware Pre-requisites (Electrical and Network Connections)
Connection steps
Before connecting the UPS, you must first decide on a software and hardware architecture.
Before installing the EATON Network Solution, the UPS must be set up as indicated in the steps below.
zShut down the computers to be protected by the UPS.
zConnect the UPS to a wall outlet. (For UPSs above 3kVA, please refer to the UPS installation manual).
zConnect the power cord of each computer to an outlet on the UPS. (For UPSs above 3kVA, please refer
to the UPS installation manual).
zHow to connect UPS / proxy or card / network:
>If the Mgt. Proxy is used, connect the serial or USB port on the computer and on the UPS.
>If a Network Management Card is used, insert the optional card in the UPS and connect the UPS to
the computer network.
zStart the EATON UPS, then the computers.
zSetting up the protection
>If the Mgt. Proxy is used install it on the one machine directly connected to the UPS.
>If a Network Management Card is used, it must be set up (see the Mgt. Card's user manual).
zInstall Network Shutdown Module on all the other machines that are to be protected by the UPS (supplied
with UPS battery backup power).
Note: The Mgt. Proxy manages protection of the machine on which it is installed.
