The NetMan 208C network card allows the UPS to be managed directly over a 1Gbps LAN using the main network communication protocols (TCP/IP, HTTPS, and SNMP). It offers a high level of protection against cyber threats thanks to new encryption, integrity and authentication mechanisms, suitable for today’s secure connectivity requirements. It is the ideal solution for integrating UPS devices into Ethernet networks via Modbus/TCP and BACnet/IP protocols.

It has been developed to integrate UPS systems into medium and large networks, ensuring a high level of reliability in secure communication between the UPS and associated management systems. It supports features such as LDAP and Active Directory user authentication and integrates with VMware ESXi and vCenter for VM and Host shutdown.

Compatible with PowerShield³ and PowerNetGuard.

Features

• Other standards: DHCP, 802.1x , DNS, RARP, NTP, ICMP
• Management of environmental sensors (optional)
• Configurable via SSH sessions and web
• Firmware upgradeable via web browser

Environmental sensors

The NetMan 208C environmental sensors is able to monitor and record environmental conditions, as well as activities in protected areas and the area where the UPS is installed.

The environmental sensors allow management and control to be extended to cover the area around the UPS, monitoring the temperature and humidity and driving cooling fans or locks. Values are provided via Internet, SNMP and via PowerShield³ software. PowerShield³ can be used to manage sensor operating states in order to send messages. Refer to PowerShield³ software documentation for further information. NetMan 208C can manage up to 3 separate sensors.

Environmental sensors are quick to install thanks to their small footprint and they do not require a separate external power supply. Thanks to the self-learning sensors, configuration is also rapid and intuitive. PowerShield can be used to manage sensor operating states in order to send messages. Refer to PowerShield software documentation for further information.
NetMan can manage up to 6 separate sensors. Environmental sensors are quick to install thanks to their small footprint, and they do not require a separate external power supply. Thanks to the self-learning sensors, configuration is also rapid and intuitive.

Available sensor:

• -55 +60 °C Temperature 0-100% humidity Sensor and I/O digital 0-12 Vdc In, 1 A max Out at 48 Vdc Sensor.
