Network Management Card
Chapter 1 Overview
NMC (Network Management Card) can receive the status information of
UPS, and also can send commands to control UPS. User can manage UPS
with NMC via web browser or via network management software which
supports SNMP protocol.
Once UPS output is abnormal or other events are touched off, NMC will
protect server or client operating system being shut down safely by working
with system protect software (SPS) that can be installed on various operating
system. The conditions include: UPS output abnormal, UPS battery low, UPS
overload, over temperature, schedule shutdown, etc. User can set the
condition, once the event is touched off, NMC will inform SPS of the event
and SPS will shut down operating system safely according to the setting of
SPS.
