Gain full control and confidence of your power supply with the AP9617 APC UPS network management card. Keeping up with the design and technologies included in the series of APC UPS network management cards, the AP9617 model allows you to use a dynamic host configuration protocol server to provide communication TCP/IP values. When this management card is fully configured, it will detect 10/100 megabytes per second connection, ultimately providing the ability to communicate with other management cards installed on the same network. Enjoy the ability to monitor activities of your UPS system remotely with the data and event logs, which are accessible through your FTP, Telnet, and Internet networking system. The APC UPS network management card gives all APC Smart-UPS systems their full capabilities. Without the use of this card all monitoring and settings must be performed with the use of a cabled connection to your computer. Among its many capabilities, the APC Smart-UPS management card generates system log messages, limits email notifications, monitors battery life, and generates application modules for the UPS device. Should a prolonged power outage occur that affects your home office or business electronics equipment, this management card will perform a graceful shutdown of all connected machines. To assist you with installation and all necessary IP configurations, an easy-to-follow CD is included with the APC AP9617 UPS network management card when it arrives. As its manufacturer, APC holds the patent on many types of technologies that are used in the creation of their Smart-UPS management cards. Among these technologies is the PowerChute Network Shutdown utility. The APC UPS management card offers the support necessary for this function to work. With the card installed, you can create settings that will designate which pieces of equipment hooked to the system should be shut down in the proper order. This ensures that when specific pieces of equipment must continue working, they will. With the capabilities of creating these sequence setups, you are not stuck searching for proper ports to shut down in an emergency. The APC UPS management card fits securely in the SmartSlot located on the APC UPS devices. Use the featured USB 2.0 slot on the UPS device to download all log information when necessary. Information that is available through the management card includes voltage readings, increased power consumption records, temperature readings, battery life of the UPS device, and more. This USB slot doubles as another serial connection port for adding additional pieces of compatible equipment. When you want to know that your business electronics equipment is securely monitored on a consistent basis, the AP9617 APC UPS network management card is the ideal device. This network management card has the ability to monitor, record, and transmit all important data to ensure you have remote access whenever and wherever you travel. Having this device at work within your home office or business facilities saves you travel time when emergencies arise and money for replacement and repairs of costly electronics components you depend on regularly. These systems work well to ensure that when you have clients and customers that have information stored in your system, their information is secure as well.
