This SNMP web card from Forza allows the web server to monitor and manage multiple UPS units in a networked environment,
including LAN and INTERNET. By connecting the card to an EMD (Environmental Monitoring Device), this can also detect ambient
temperature and humidity.
The integrated Shutdown Wizard does not only prevent data loss from power outages by safely shutting down UPS units, but also
stores programming data and scheduled power off times. All UPS warnings and fault event records can be kept in the SNMP web
card, which also comes with an integrated ViewPower Pro software to monitor and to access remotely all distributed SNMP web
cards in a LAN or INTERNET.

∙ Text Message: contains a description of the event assigned to the selected dry-contact sensor.
∙Default dry-contact: defines the dry-contact sensor number to which a specific monitoring event is assigned. There are five
selections: none, 1, 2, 3 and 4. If a value from 1 to 4 is selected, any environmental monitoring device (EMD) that detects a
defined event will send an alert message. If none is selected instead, it means that such event is considered special. Then, a
specific environmental monitoring device (EMD) can be selected to trigger the event alert. This special setting is explained
below.
∙ Configuration of the dry-contact sensor: users can define special events and assign them to dry-contact sensors linked to
environmental monitoring devices (EMD). If any defined event is detected by the selected device, the software will send an
alarm notification message to the contacts in the list.
