1 MGE Network Solution
1.1 Introduction
◗provides information on events concerning the supply of power to the computers connected to your
computer network,
◗carries out automatic shutdown of computer systems,
◗monitors and controls all the UPSs connected to the network.
As illustrated in the picture below, MGE Network Solution provides these 3 main functions:
◗connecting the UPS to the Network,
◗protecting the computers,
◗monitoring the UPSs over the Network

THE UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER PROVIDER
Network Management Card – User Manual 34003676EN/BB Page 6/76
1.1.1 Connecting the UPS to the Network
This function can be performed either through network Cards inserted in the UPS (Network Management
Card / XML-Web Card) or through a software “agent” running on a nearby PC that is called the Network
Management Proxy.
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 (Network Shutdown Modules, Web
Browser, Network Management Systems, Enterprise Power Manager)
Operation may be in standard secure mode (the default mode) or in SSL secure mode (Secure Socket Layer
SSL) with the Proxy and the XML Web Card.
1.1.2 Protecting the computers / servers
This function is performed by the Network Shutdown Module installed on each of the servers to be protected.
Note that the Shutdown Module is available on several Operating Systems.
The Network Shutdown module:
◗continuously waits for information from the Network Management Card / Proxy connected to the MGE
UPS.
◗warns administrators and users if AC power fails and proceeds with graceful system shutdown before the
end of battery backup power is reached.
1.1.3 Monitoring the UPSs over the network
Depending on your needs, you can either use:
◗your Internet browser to monitor each UPS, as Management Proxy and Management Card 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 MGE UPSs with these NMS, you can use one of
the Network Management System Kits for MGE devices. These kits are available on Management Pac 2
CD-Rom. (ref 66923)
◗the MGE supervisor " Enterprise Power Manager "

Pac 2 CD or are available for download on the www.mgeups.com Web site, in the “Download area” section”
1.2 Presentation of the Network Management Cards (NMC)
MGE provides 2 different form factors for its Network Management Cards :
◗NMC Minislot for UPS systems like the Evolution, EXtreme C, Pulsar EX, Pulsar/Comet DX series.
◗NMC Transverse for UPS systems like the Galaxy 3000, Galaxy PW, Pulsar and Comet EXtreme series.
Other MGE UPS systems (3-phase Comet, Galaxy, EPS 6000) can be remotely managed using the
Network Management Link
.
The Network Management Cards acquire information on the operation status of the UPS systems and provide
remote control of these systems by means of an ETHERNET network from any SNMP administration station or
Web browser. They also supply alarms to the Network Shutdown Modules to trigger shutdown or other
automatic actions for protected servers.
A simple html browser is used for supervision and configuration.
Network Management Cards are compatible with all MGE UPS SYSTEMS supervision / protection systems:
◗Network Shutdown Modules
◗Entreprise Power Manager
◗Management-Pac 2
1.3 Presentation of the Environment Sensor solution
The Environment Sensor solution comprises a box to be connected to the Card Settings port of the
Network Management Cards:
Environment Sensor enables measurement of temperature and humidity around the UPS, consideration of
external alarms via 2 dry contacts and notification of alarms according to pre-programmed thresholds.
1.4 Direct sending of E-mail
When a UPS event occurs, the Network Management Card can directly notify up to 4 intranet or extranet
addressees by e-mail (see Email Notification and Email Message Settings).

1.5 Sending text messages (SMS)
SMS messages can be sent by specific configuration of the e-mail function via the internet access
providers making the e-mail / SMS transfer.
1.6 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 Management-Pac 2 offering includes the necessary SNMP
plug-in to allows an easy integration in the NMS. Events are notified by SNMP trap
◗NMS can subscribe on page “Notified Application”
◗SNMP sequences are described in chapter “Server protection”
◗The trap list can be looked over in the document ref. 34003641EN available on mgeups.com
1.7 Compatibility the legacy Solution-Pac WAN offering
Network Management Card is compatible with the legacy protection module UM-Client and since the FA
release also with the updated protection module Network Shutdown Module . It is possible to use the
both modules on the same card, therefore, MGEUPS recommends to use the Network Shutdown Module
on new installations.
