Automatic Shutdown of UPS-Protected Computers

NetWatch client software supports remote UPS monitoring and automatic shutdown of UPS-protected computer systems and is available on the Invensys Software Suite CD-ROM or from www.powerware.com.

Clients are available for the following operating systems:

:Windows 95/98/NT/2000

:Novell NetWare

:UNIX (various versions)

Each NetWatch client uses its IP address to register with a specified BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter via the network. Once a client has registered, any change in UPS status is communicated to NetWatch. Depending on the operating system, NetWatch typically alerts the user(s) whenever the UPS begins supplying AC power from its batteries (for example, the AC line fails). Then, if AC line power does not return and the remaining battery time is low, NetWatch takes over and completes an operating system shutdown prior to the UPS running out of battery power.
