Configure the Remote Monitoring Service Settings screen. The APC Remote Monitoring Service (RMS) is an APC professional service which securely monitors the customer’s Network-

Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) from a

remote 24x7 operation center, responding to events according to a pre-defined customer

escalation procedure. Go to http://rms.apc.com to learn more about this service.

The APC Remote Monitoring Service uses the HTTP protocol to post information to its

database. If a proxy server is used for Internet connection, then the required proxy server port settings must be specified (a proxy server acts as an agent between a workstation user or other networked device and the Internet to regulate security, administrative control and caching).
