1. Introduction
SNMPWEBCARD is an optional network card that you can install in the accessory slot of a compatible UPS systems or PDU*. SNMPWEBCARD
connects your UPS system or PDU to your Ethernet network as a manageable device that supports remote monitoring, remote control and remote
condition reporting. You can manage the device from PowerAlert Network Management System, an SNMP Network Management Station, a Web
browser or telnet, allowing you to reboot, control outlets, shed nonessential loads, monitor load levels and more. The SNMPWEBCARD can also send
SNMP traps or e-mail messages to the addresses you specify, alerting you automatically to events such as power failures.
* SNMPWEBCARD is preinstalled in Tripp Lite Monitored and Switched PDUs, which can be identified by the presence of "MN" or "NET" in the model name.
