However, the risks inherent in these conditions can be alleviated by using a network managementtool to monitor the UPS power supplies and alarm status.By installing UPS/Mains monitoring software an administrator can monitor the utility power from a centrallocation and obtain an early warning of impending power problems, even across more complex systems suchas the Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Enterprise Wide Networks of multi-national companies.To avoid a power loss due to depleted batteries, caused by a mains failure that exceeds the batteryautonomy time, the UPS management software can initiate an automatic and controlled computer shutdownwhen the battery reaches a predetermined point in its discharge cycle. The allows valuable data to be savedand the operating system to be shut down gracefully before the power is lost.Four monitoring systems are available for use with the MINIpowerPLUS UPS system:• WAVEMON – can be used for monitoring and automatic shutdown• SNMP – can be used for monitoring only• PowerREPORTER – can be used to automatically email UPS monitored parameters and alarmevents to Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd. for appropriate response• RELAY INTERFACE BOARD – provides volt free contacts for connecting to a remote alarm monitor7.2.2 WAVEMON UPS monitoring softwareWAVEMON is designed to operate with many of the Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd.
