Falcon® Electric's New SNMP Card
Expands Users’ Networking Capabilities

May 4, 2005 – Irwindale, CA - Falcon Electric, an innovator of single-phase on-line Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS), introduces new internal and external SNMP/HTTP agent devices with enhanced features. The new SNMP agents provide users a higher level of remote monitoring and management of Falcon on-line SG Series TM UPSs across a LAN, WAN, Enterprise Network or over the Internet, using any web browser (HTTP), SNMP or Telnet.

The new SNMP/HTTP/Telnet agents now are supplied with client software supporting the in-band safe shutdown of any LAN connected server or workstation running Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Small Business Server, Solaris (Sparc and X86), SCO (OpenServer and UnixWare), Novell 5x-6x and Linux. If used conjunction with the purchased agent device, the client software may be loaded onto as many servers or workstations as desired without additional licensing fees. Many SNMP/HTTP agents on the marketplace are licensed on a “per seat” basis, and require the purchase of a new license for each server and workstation the client is installed on.

The internal SNMP/HTTP/Telnet agent easily installs into an option slot located on the rear panel of all Falcon SG Series models. External agents simply connect to the SG Series’ RS-232 ports using a supplied cable.

The TCP-IP addressable agents give users the ability to remotely manage an unlimited number of Falcon UPSs from a central location. They interface using a standard Ethernet 10/100BaseT jack and support both DHCP and Static IP. They can also be connected to any 802.11b/g wireless network bridge, freeing the user to place the UPS anywhere within his/her facility.

The SNMP UPS is MIB II compliant and ships with a “snap-in” management information base (MIB) for HP OpenView, and IBM NetView Network Management Software (NMS).

The agents support remote UPS monitoring, UPS testing, UPS temperature monitoring and settable alarms, programmed shutdown and startup, battery management and replacement date, power history and event reporting; automatic notification of alarm conditions (through trap IP addresses), remote agent management, multi-level security and much more.

The product’s list price is $290 and can be ordered as an option with a Falcon SG Series on-line UPS.
