WAVEMON is a software application designed to operate with many of the systems supplied by

Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd and features both UPS monitoring and automatic UPS/server shutdown

facilities. It comprises a bespoke software package which is installed on a local PC and communicates with

the UPS via USB or a standard RS232 serial cable of up to 15m in length.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd offer suitable monitoring software with SNMP functionality for NetWare,

OS/2, all Windows NT systems on INTEL and ALPHA network platforms.

The main features of WAVEMON are:

• On-screen autonomy time/battery time countdown.

• On-screen server log-off and shutdown procedure.

• Time and date stamp event log.

• Extensive logging of all UPS activity and power quality data.

• Permits alarm warnings to be monitored remotely via email.

• Scheduled UPS service mode and other systems status.

• Graphical user interface for Windows-compatible platforms.

• Automatic unattended local shutdown.

• Special modules for MS-Office software to close and save open documents.

• Compatible with all optional modules like UPSDIALER, SNMP adaptors, temperature sensors, etc.

7.2.1 Functional description

WAVEMON is a client/server software application for networks and local workstations. In general, it consists

of two parts: the server module of the UPS management software is UPSMAN which communicates with the

UPS via an RS232/USB interface. Running as a background application, UPSMAN collects and interprets the

messages received from the UPS and places them at the disposal of the client module UPSMON, as well as

any connected SNMP-based instrumentation and control system.

If UPSMAN detects voltage variations or a power failure, it can execute various ‘system event’ routines, by

means of which, for example, the server is switched off or a warning is sent to the connected users. These

‘system event’ routines are a part of the management software and can be configured in accordance with

local application requirements.

The software of your PowerWave 1000 UPS unit can be integrated into a network in two ways:

1. By the server which is supplied by the UPS itself and has been integrated into the network. In most cases

this server is used as a sub-agent and you only need the WAVEMON software (without an SNMP

adapter). You will also need to establish an RS232/USB connection between the UPS and computer/

server.

2. In many cases the use of what is referred to as an ‘SNMP adapter’ is to be preferred in order to integrate

the UPS into the network. In this case up to 50 computers can be shut down in one RCCMD

environment. RCCMD (remote console command) is an additional software module that is used in order

to execute a command (typically a shutdown command) in a remote system.

7.2.2 Licensing

A licence is issued with every software serial number for use of what is known as the ‘UPS service’ on a

single server in connection with one UPS and an unlimited number of connected WINDOWS workstations.

For operation with two or more servers, a further licence is required for each additional server. In this case it

is of no importance whether the UPS service on these servers is active or whether the server was stopped by

a remote UPS service. The same applies to the use of RCCMD with the ‘remote send/receive’ modules for

‘multi-server shutdown’ under NT, UNIX and other operating systems.

The service programs are generally supplied as single licences. In order to use a single CD-ROM for several

‘multi-server shut-down’ units you must acquire additional licence codes.
