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.
