5.4.Operation Using the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Port

The RJ-45 10/100 Base-T port is primarily intended for connection to an intranet for remote access to the DC power system. However with the use of a crossover cable or a hub, a direct PC to 10/100 Base-T local connection may also be made.

After the Management Card is configured and running on your network, you can use several different interfaces to access the Management Card: Web, Telnet, SNMP and FTP.

-The Web interface uses a web browser such as Microsoft ® Internet Explorer 5.0 (and higher) or Netscape ® 4.0.8 (and higher) to configure Management Card options and to view DC power system status, alarms and events.

-Telnet is used to access a Management Card’s Control Console and is the same user interface available via the local RS-232 serial port.

-SNMP access is available after you add the PowerNet MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser.

-FTP access is used to download new firmware to a Management Card, or to access a copy of a Management Card’s event or data logs.

Complete documentation for the use of the management card accompanies the DC power system in the form of a Quick Start Guide and a CD. The CD contains electronic copies of User’s Manuals along with the necessary software utilities to support the management function. Some of the functions supported by the network card are not supported by this power system.

5.5.Operation using Network Management Card Web Browser Interface

The location, description, and factory programmed default value for each of the Magnum VS system parameters accessible via a Web browser is found in the table below. The table also shows all of the status and information screens with typical displays. The location of a parameter screen is shown in brackets, for example: [Power Modules/Rectifiers]. This table is organized alphabetically by parameter name.

VS 50, VS 100 specifications

American Power Conversion (APC), a brand under Schneider Electric, is renowned for its uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and provides a range of solutions for both commercial and personal use. Among their various product lines, the APC Smart-UPS 1000VA (VS 1000) and Smart-UPS 500VA (VS 500) stand out due to their features, technologies, and specifications tailored to different operational needs.

The APC Smart-UPS 1000VA is designed for advanced power protection, capable of supporting servers, network equipment, and more demanding applications. It features a pure sine wave output, which is critical for sensitive electronics, ensuring devices receive a stable and clean power source even during outages. The VS 1000 is equipped with an extensive battery backup, offering up to 9 minutes of runtime at full load.

A notable technology employed in the Smart-UPS 1000 is the Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), which maintains output voltage stability by adjusting boost and trim in situations of under or over voltage. The unit has an LCD interface, providing real-time data regarding load capacity, runtime, and battery health, enabling users to easily monitor and manage performance. Additionally, with its compact design, the VS 1000 can fit into various settings, maximizing space efficiency.

In contrast, the APC Smart-UPS 500VA targets smaller operations, offering a more compact solution for basic power protection needs. Like its larger counterpart, it also provides pure sine wave output, ensuring the safe operation of connected equipment. The VS 500 is designed for less intensive applications, making it suitable for desktop computers, network devices, and home office setups.

The 500VA model supports shorter runtimes, typically around 3 to 6 minutes under full load but is ideal for situations where downtime needs to be minimized. The Smart-UPS 500VA features similar Automatic Voltage Regulation technology, maintaining voltage stability under fluctuating conditions. However, it comes with a more straightforward LCD display, providing essential information on power status and battery levels without overwhelming the user.

In summary, the APC Smart-UPS 1000VA and 500VA cater to different user requirements, with the VS 1000 offering robust features for larger setups and the VS 500 serving as a versatile option for home or small office use. Both models integrate essential technologies such as pure sine wave output and AVR, showcasing APC’s commitment to high-quality power solutions. Whether for commercial or personal use, these units demonstrate APC's ability to provide reliable power protection tailored to diverse needs.
