IRWINDALE, CA--(Marketwire - September 9, 2008) - Falcon Electric, Inc. (
www.falconups.com), an
award-winning manufacturer of power protection and conversion solutions,
today introduced its new internal USHA SNMP/HTTP Agent that supports TCP/IP
based remote Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) monitoring and management
agent. Supporting HTTP and a security-improved Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) v3 together with the latest Internet Protocol (IP) v6,
Falcon's new agent is the most secure system available for the remote
monitoring and management of UPSs.
Falcon Electric's internal USHA SNMP/HTTP agent facilitates remote UPS
monitoring and management over any Ethernet LAN, Enterprise Network or the
Internet. Users can quickly install the agent board into the communications
option slot of any Falcon SG, SSG or FN Series™ UPS and connect it to
any Ethernet LAN. If a DHCP server is present, an IP address will
automatically be assigned.
The USHA agent provides the convenience and cost benefits of centralized
remote UPS management while providing the highest level of security.
Whether a company has ten Falcon UPS units or ten thousand, all UPSs can
easily be managed and monitored from a single secure location from a
computer running any common OS. Remote access is accomplished using most
common web browsers or through the use of Network Management Software (NMS)
such as HP OpenView or IBM NetView®, using the supplied RFC1628 compliant
MIB.
When it comes to remote management, security is a top concern. The latest
SNMPv3 and IPv6 security has been incorporated. In addition, IPv6 solves
the growing shortage of IPv4 addresses, provides secure IPsec encryption
and secure peer-to-peer communications. The USHA implements IPv6 auto-
configuration. The purchase of IPv6 enabled devices are now required by
the Department of Defense. IT, industrial, government, military,
healthcare and other applications needing secure data communications are
replacing non-secure IPv4 installations with IPv6.
Shutdown client software is supplied with the USHA option that allows for
the orderly remote shutdown of multiple servers or workstations "in-band"
over Ethernet networks. Users simply install the client software, set the
shutdown delay time and enter the IP address of the controlling UPS's USHA
agent. Shutdown client software is provided for the following operating
systems:
-- Windows® 9x/NT/2000/XP/2003 & Vista®
-- SCO (OpenServer® & UnixWare®)
-- Linux
-- Novell NetWare®
-- Sun Solaris® (SPARC and X86)
-- HP UX®
-- SCO® UNIX
-- FreeBSD
Furthermore, all shutdown client software is shipped with the USHA agent
board and may be installed on as many servers and workstations as desired
without any additional licensing costs. The USHA agent supports event and
data logging, unattended event scheduling (UPS battery test scheduling,
weekly/daily UPS shutdown and event history) and advanced UPS monitoring
and management functions.
Available now, the USHA SNMP/HTTP agent lists for $290 and is CE and FCC
compliant.
