PowerAlert Local

PowerAlert Local software is intended for typical home and small business applications. It is installed on a desktop PC or networked server, and allows the computer to communicate with a UPS system through a serial or USB cable connection. You can use it to monitor power conditions, control your UPS system and enable automatic computer shutdown in the event of a power failure.

PowerAlert Local also allows your UPS system to appear as an SNMP-manageable device on your network, enabling remote monitoring and control via PowerAlert Network Management System software or a third-party Network Management System such as HP Openview or CA Unicenter. If you have two UPS systems connected to a computer to provide redundant backup power, PowerAlert Local can manage both UPS systems. PowerAlert Local requires the free Java Runtime Environment.
