·UPS management system selection、deployment

First of all, the big perspective, users need to proceed from their own needs, choose the appropriate management programs, such as figuring out local monitoring or remote monitoring. If it is a local monitoring, is relatively simple, you just need a computer; if it is remote monitoring, you need to choose the right program in accordance with distance. We suggested that a single user can choose stand-alone version of monitoring software, connect RS-232 interface with their own office computer. It is very easy and user does not require specialized knowledge. If you use large-capacity centralized UPS power supply, users need to manage the different needs of the corresponding configuration of equipment, if necessary network monitoring, the device must have Internet access on-site conditions; If not, you can choose the Internet via telephone lines, so we must choose to support Modem-UPS.

Second, whether UPS is able to provide relatively large number of alternative communications port is also important. In general, many UPS also have optional access in addition to standard multiple interfaces and they can be hot-line, do not stop to complete the UPS communications port to add less work. Some manufacturers offer UPS provided multiple intelligent hot-swappable slots, the same as the computer's PCI slot. Moreover, these communications port must be consistent with industry standards, there is a very good compatibility. In addition, whether the communication port (card) support the software upgrades and hardware upgrades or not is also an important measure. Because it will affect the life cycle of UPS and can also protect the user's initial investment.

Thirdly, UPS management software should provide a very good compatibility, choice of UPS management software is compatible with the current relatively common computer operating systems and network management system which can truly achieve a high degree of seamless integration of UPS management. UPS users are mainly embodied in the management of the UPS mainframe management, battery management and to the AC input and load management. Therefore, the main consideration in choosing management functions is whether it can effectively cover the above-mentioned content, while also very convenient, in engineering and also it is an economical way to achieve the required management. Some recommended programs may look good, but if the high cost of the actual use or the user's conditions are not met, then it lost its value, for example, the client without establishing network environment, SNMP management program would be inappropriate, and an independent remote control panel is a good application method.

Fourthly, UPS monitoring system scalability is also important. Scalability refers to the system can increase the number of monitored objects. From the current hardware configuration of view, on the basis of achieving a comprehensive monitoring of the UPS power supply, expanding the supervision of the re-implementation of environmental temperature and humidity, leaks, access control, battery packs and other objects on-demand, is the most pressing needs of the user UPS. Because the system is scalable monitoring platform on the original (and without changing platforms),the user can at different stages, on-demand expansion of the system monitoring function. This will enhance the user's input flexibility, greatly reduced the risks of system upgrades, while the long term savings for UPS users input costs. Of course, due to the strength of scalability cost in many cases is directly linked, and this cost would be more evident in the initial investment, so choose UPS monitoring system not to indulge in the pursuit of unified extensions of the maximum, but should be " to meet the present, leave enough future "principles.

UPS can be paid much attention to the deployment because of the current UPS primarily by IT administrators to maintain the use right of UPS systems is not easy to achieve complete control, for which UPS can be managed in the deployment when the UPS needs of users and manufacturers management experts conduct a comprehensive communication, so that manufacturers give a comprehensive understanding of the real needs of users, but UPS manufacturers also need to actively guide the user to do, let all know UPS management functions and play its full effect. UPS, when deployed, experts suggest that engineers from the factory are fully responsible for their program development, specific implementation, functional testing and evaluation of programs, thereby reducing the problem of the implementation of the capabilities of the UPS caused by poor management functions.
