T- Mon ServerT- Mon ServerT- Mon ServerT- Mon Server

T-Mon Server is developed for monitoring and managing an UPS that is connected to a computer via RS232. The minimum required equipments are:

 1 PC

Win 95/98 – NT or Win2000 operating system.1 UPS

1 RS232 connection cable.

The connection between the UPS and computer has to be as shown in picture1

PACK 19 Specifications:

• UPS monitoring: Input and output voltages, output frequency, load %, battery voltage in all models, in some models (T300)

input currents, charging current, UPS cabinet temperature.

• Possibility of monitoring all the alarms that will occurs on the UPS and will saves them in time and date format

• UPS Management:

- Battery test (only in USP’s that has the hardware)

- Sound on-off (all types)

- Weekly scheduling of USP shutdown and start-up (all types)

- It provides to save the selected items data log in a selected time interval and shows in a table.

- It provides to monitor on-line the selected item data and shows in a graphic mode.

- It is possible to monitor the UPS with a dial-up modem that will be connected to the UPS from a remote computer with a dial-up modem.

- In case that Tmon server computer is connected to the Internet it can send e-mail to the predefined e-mail address about the occurred alarm messages.

- It can send an alarm message to a pager through the dial-up modem.

- T-Mon server software will communicate with T-Mon Client and will give the UPS and battery status to the clients on the LAN.

- You can separate the clients on the LAN in 2 groups and shutdown one of the groups earlier and it will give a longer back-up time to work with minimized users.

- It is possible to make a soft SNMP agent and than your system will be monitored from different operating systems on the Ethernet network.

- WAN management via T-Mon Admin. You can monitor and manage all the UPS’s, which are connected to the network (LAN or WAN) with T-Mon Server.

- It is possible to monitor a remote UPS on the LAN with a second license of T-Mon Server from another computer.
