Falcon Electric, Inc. has expanded its range of communication options with new remote control, monitoring, and operations system shutdown solutions—the Falcon MEGA SNMP/HTTP agent. The new agent consists of a standalone external or an internal “circuit card” that fits into the communications option slot of any Falcon SG, SSG, or FN Series rack-mount and tower UPS.
The agent allows for the connection to any Ethernet LAN. Two USB ports on the agent support the connection of an optional 802.11G Wi-Fi dongle providing wireless LAN connectivity. As an alternate to 802.11G, an optional GSM/GPRS 1900 cellular modem device is available supporting wireless short message service (SMS) communications with the UPS using supplied SMS server software.
