Optional Interface Kits
For computer systems that already have UPS monitoring software,
Powerware offers interface cable kits for connecting the Powerware
9170 system to your computer system. The kit includes the cable,
adapters, and instructions.
Relay Card
This interface provides true relay contact output to peripheral devices.
Outputs are user-selectable as normally open or normally closed.
BestLink Telecom Modem Controller
This interface provides remote monitoring and control of the UPS
through a customer-supplied modem. In the event of an alarm
condition, this unit also provides automatic notification via numeric or
alphanumeric pager, e-mail, or fax.
Optional Internal BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter
This adapter provides the Powerware 9170 system with its own ethernet
network connection, allowing it to be remotely monitored and
controlled via industry-standard internet browsers. The HTML interface
enables UPS monitoring and management from anywhere on the
internet or within your intranet. In addition, third-party Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) software packages may also be
used to communicate remotely with the Powerware 9170 system. The
BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter also allows UPS-dependent computer
systems to automatically shut down during extended power outages
using the NetWatch client software provided on the CheckUPS II
CD-ROM or web site.
BestDock Communication Slots
The Powerware 9170 UPS has two communication slots that allow quick
installation of the optional BestLink SNMP/WEB adapter or other similar
communication interfaces. These interface adapters extend the
capabilities of the Powerware 9170 system to provide compatibility with
network and remote monitoring/management systems.
