INTRODUCTION  
The BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter is a network adapter for your  
uninterruptible power system (UPS) that provides both SNMP and HTTP  
compatibility, as well as advanced communication with true RS-232.  
The BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter is available in two models: and internal  
for UPSs with a BestDock slot and external for connection to the UPS serial  
port. Both models can connect to a twisted-pair Ethernet (10baseT) network  
using an RJ-45 connector.  
SNMP-compatible network management software (user-supplied) may be  
used to monitor the UPS in a method similar to that of other network devices.  
Others may wish to use a web browser such as NetscapeZ or Microsoft  
Internet Explorer to monitor and manage the connected UPS.  
The adapter also supports remote monitoring and shutdown from  
UPS-protected computer systems. NetWatch client software for use with a  
BestLink Adapter is supplied on the Invensys Software Suite CD or on the  
Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Novell NetWare and various versions of UNIX.  
These programs communicate through TCP/IP with the BestLink Adapter and  
automatically shutdown the protected system during extended power outages.  
In addition, the BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter has the following features:  
: Configuration from serial port, telnet, or HTTP web browser.  
: Management from HTTP web browser or SNMP management software.  
: Supports MIB_II and BestLink MIB (bestpwr2.mib) management  
information bases.  
: Firmware upgradable from a Windows utility via a network connection.  
: Scheduling function to control UPS shutdowns and startups.  
: History log files (data and events) for recording power problems.  
: UPS status information available to registered NetWatch clients for  
automatic shutdown of Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Novell NetWare, and  
UNIX.  
: E-mail notification of changes in the UPS status.

UPS Power Management  
Automatic Shutdown of UPS-Protected Computers  
NetWatch client software supports remote UPS monitoring and automatic  
shutdown of UPS-protected computer systems and is available on the  
Clients are available for the following operating systems:  
: Windows 95/98/NT/2000  
: Novell NetWare  
: UNIX (various versions)  
Each NetWatch client uses its IP address to register with a specified BestLink  
SNMP/WEB Adapter via the network. Once a client has registered, any change  
in UPS status is communicated to NetWatch. Depending on the operating  
system, NetWatch typically alerts the user(s) whenever the UPS begins  
supplying AC power from its batteries (for example, the AC line fails). Then,  
if AC line power does not return and the remaining battery time is low,  
NetWatch takes over and completes an operating system shutdown prior to  
the UPS running out of battery power.
