Features of
Share-UPS
The following list shows some of the features of Share-
UPS. Your Share-UPS unit…
• Can be used as a freestanding desktop unit or
mounted on a wall, in an
APC
NetShelter enclosure,
or other 19" rack.
• Works well in a heterogeneous network. Servers run-
ning different operating systems can monitor the
same
UPS
simultaneously.
• Supports advanced or simple signaling on its
Advanced port.
• Can delay shutdown of the
UPS
until all servers have
shut down gracefully.
• Can be connected to a modem or terminal for sending
and receiving status and control information between
the UPS and Share-UPS. See “Using the Share-UPS
Menus,” on page 29.
• Allows you to restart hung servers.
• Has operating modes that cause the
UPS
to shut down
after confirmation from all protected devices or after
an interval set by the user. See “Configuring Share-
UPS” on page 23.
• Does not depend on the operation of the network to
protect connected devices. As a hard-wired acces-
sory, Share-UPS reliably conveys important status
messages during poor power conditions.
