Using the Connect UPS Adapter for communication with UPS you can quickly determine if there is a power-related problem anywhere on the network. This virtually eliminates costly downtime due to unexpected power outages or surges, & reduces day-to-day network management annoyances such as spontaneous rebooting, lost files & corrupted data that can result from inconsistent power. The Connect UPS Adapter allows the monitoring of UPSs without having to run power management software on a server & it allows the monitoring of network devices, such as hubs & routers, where running power management software is not an option.
