1.0 INTRODUCTION
The OpenComms NIC Card transforms Liebert units into manageable
nodes within your Network, NMS, and BMS systems.
The OpenComms NIC Card contains a standard Ethernet and EIA-485
(2-wire) port designed to support viewing and management through:
•HTTP for Web browsers (I.E. 5.5 or later)
•SNMP (v1, v2c) for network management systems
•Modbus RTU for building management systems (and SiteScan)
For the first time, the system that monitors the status of your comput-
ing, communication and facility infrastructure can comprehensively
monitor your Liebert equipment concurrently.
These standard open protocols allow simple integration into your mon-
itoring system, leveraging prior infrastructure investments and estab-
lished procedures.
