摘要： A system and method for providing critical state monitoring for a power supply, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), is provided. In one embodiment, the invention includes a notification system for at least one power supply coupled to a computer network and adapted to transmit information such as a trap over the computer network when one of the power supplies undergoes the entry of a critical state, wherein the notification system includes a computer system connected to the computer network and has running on it a monitoring program, a reporting program and a database. The monitoring program monitors the network and detects the information being associated with the entry of the critical state. The database stores the information relating to the information transmitted over the network being associated with the entry of the critical state. The reporting program reports over the computer network the information relating to the duration of the critical state. In another embodiment, the invention includes a method of providing over a computer network a notification of a power supply in a critical state.

摘要： An event notification system for a plurality of power supplies coupled to a computer network is provided. In one embodiment of the invention, the notification system includes a computer system connected to the computer network, wherein the computer system includes a database, a data retrieval program, a comparison program and an electronic notification program. The data retrieval program obtains data from the plurality of power supplies. The comparison program compares the data from the plurality of power supplies with data of at least one predetermined event to determine if a predetermined event has occurred. The database stores information relating to an occurrence of the predetermined event and the number of the power supplies associated with the occurrence of the predetermined event. The electronic notification program sends an electronic notification, which includes information about the occurrence of the predetermined event and the number of the power supplies to which the event occurred, to one or more predetermined destinations. In another embodiment of the invention, a method of providing notification of a predetermined event of a power supply is provided.

摘要： Aspects of the invention are directed to monitoring a plurality of UPS devices coupled to a network. According to one aspect of the invention, a computer is coupled to the plurality of UPS devices through the network and monitors the states of the UPS devices by using a UPS devices monitoring icon. The UPS monitoring icon takes on various shapes depending on the status or state of one or more UPS devices being monitored and generally acts as an annunciator to the status or state. For example, the UPS monitoring icon 500 can take on one of four symbols depending on whether the UPS devices are operating normally or one or more UPS devices have been diagnosed as being in a “critical” state, a “warning” state or an “unknown” state.
