T- Mon Server
T-Mon server
T-Mon Server is developed for monitoring and managing an UPS that is connected to a computer via RS232. The
minimum required equipments are:
1 PC
Win 95/98 – NT or Win2000 operating system.
1 UPS
1 RS232 connection cable.
The connection between the UPS and computer has to be as shown in picture1
PACK 19 Specifications:
• UPS monitoring: Input and output voltages, output frequency, load %, battery voltage in all models, in some
models (T300)
input currents, charging current, UPS cabinet temperature.
• Possibility of monitoring all the alarms that will occurs on the UPS and will saves them in time and date format
• UPS Management:
- Battery test (only in USP’s that has the hardware)
- Sound on-off (all types)
- Weekly scheduling of USP shutdown and start-up (all types)
- It provides to save the selected items data log in a selected time interval and shows in a table.
- It provides to monitor on-line the selected item data and shows in a graphic mode.
- It is possible to monitor the UPS with a dial-up modem that will be connected to the UPS from a remote computer
with a dial-up modem.
- In case that Tmon server computer is connected to the Internet it can send e-mail to the predefined e-mail
address about the occurred alarm messages.
- It can send an alarm message to a pager through the dial-up modem.
- T-Mon server software will communicate with T-Mon Client and will give the UPS and battery status to the clients
on the LAN.
- You can separate the clients on the LAN in 2 groups and shutdown one of the groups earlier and it will give a
longer back-up time to work with minimized users.
- It is possible to make a soft SNMP agent and than your system will be monitored from different operating
systems on the Ethernet network.
- WAN management via T-Mon Admin. You can monitor and manage all the UPS’s, which are connected to the
network (LAN or WAN) with T-Mon Server.
- It is possible to monitor a remote UPS on the LAN with a second license of T-Mon Server from another computer.

All clients uses IP address for
communication so the names of
clients are IP address.
Client group management is as
followed : Clients are
organized as two groups the
battery backup time of clients
groups are seperate. Go to File
menu and select TMON server
setting subitem for setup group
backup times.
A client can be move beetween
groups by using arrow buttons
,after defining groups click on
diskette button and save group
information to disk. At the next
startup TMON SERVER will use
group information.
The Local IP window shows the
TMON SERVER local IP address
,type this address to all clients.
? button updates the client
connection list ,if the color of
address is white this means
that the related client is not
connected ,if the color is green
the related client is using
TCP/IP protocol ,if yellow the
related client is using SNMP
protocol.
