TRipp Lite announces industry’s first Full-Feature UPS management software
for the macintosh platform

Poweralert

Starting with version 8 update 71, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) disallows the use of the MD5 hash algorithm in the certification path processing. Tripp Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power protection equipment, has announced that its PowerAlert enterprise power management software version is fully compatible with the new Microsoft® Windows® 7 operating system. PowerAlert software comes in three specialized editions that deliver full-featured power management.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chicago, IL (August 30, 1999)*Tripp Lite, a leading manufacturer of power
protection products, introduces the first UPS management software developed
exclusively to provide full-feature UPS management and control for Apple
Macintosh computers.

Software

Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software for Macintosh will allow users to view
operating conditions, load, capacity and other vital UPS information in an
easy-to-read graphical interface. Users can respond to such warnings as
temperature and battery drain to maximize protection of their systems.
PowerAlert Software allows users to set a shutdown delay in order to work
through the majority of brownouts and blackouts without having to shut down
their system.

PowerAlert Software also performs a self-test of the UPS and allows users
to automatically reboot the UPS or turn on or off AC receptacles when
connected to a Macintosh computer.

Prior to Tripp Lite’s introduction of PowerAlert Software for Macintosh,
existing UPS management software programs for Macintosh computers delivered
only contact-closure “dumb” management. This management allowed for
automatic shutdown only, whereas PowerAlert Software will now offer
full-feature UPS management and control.

Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software has been recognized throughout the
industry for its flexible UPS management capabilities. It has earned
accolades from such industry publications as VAR Business, Computer
Reseller News and Internet Week. PowerAlert Software is included with all
Tripp Lite line-interactive and on-line UPS systems and most of the
manufacturer’s standby systems. Tripp Lite customers can also download the
software at the company’s website, www.tripplite.com.

Enhanced service and innovative products have been Tripp Lite standards for
over 75 years. Tripp Lite has built a reputation as the leader in power
protection solutions, including UPS systems, AC and dataline surge
suppressors, line conditioners and network management accessories. Tripp
Lite commits itself to serving the global marketplace and maintains fully
staffed offices worldwide. Additional information, including a list of
Tripp Lite’s sales offices and authorized reseller partners, can be found

Tripp Lite’s Free PowerAlert Software
Delivers Enterprise-Level Power Management

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chicago, IL (August 22, 2008)–Tripp Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power protection equipment, has released a new version of its free PowerAlert software. Three specialized components combine to deliver full-featured power management capabilities from desktop to enterprise. PowerAlert Network Management System allows network managers to monitor and control up to 250 UPS systems and power distribution units (PDUs) through a single interface. PowerAlert Local allows end users to monitor and control UPS systems connected to a host computer through a USB or serial cable. It also includes an SNMP agent that allows UPS systems to be discovered and managed by PowerAlert Network Management System or a third-party network management system. PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent allows the host computer to monitor a designated PowerAlert Local client or SNMPWEBCARD accessory over the network. When a selected power event is detected (typically an “on battery” event), the host computer automatically hibernates or shuts down after a user-specified delay. It’s ideal for computers that have restricted system resources or cannot connect to a UPS system through a USB or serial cable.

“We designed PowerAlert to be the most flexible and comprehensive network power management software package available,” said Mike Delgrosso, Tripp Lite Director of Software Development. “From a single local server to a large global enterprise, PowerAlert simplifies power management and reduces deployment and troubleshooting time for any network. It’s ideal for controlling and monitoring a network of UPS systems and PDUs, even when they’re in remote locations or connected to computers that use different operating systems.”

PowerAlert Application Overview
In a typical home or small office setup, a UPS system communicates with a computer through a USB or serial cable. Installing PowerAlert Local on the computer allows the end user to monitor power conditions and control the UPS system with a simple but powerful console interface. PowerAlert Local also directs the computer to automatically perform user-defined actions in response to changes in UPS and power conditions. For example, the computer can save open files and shut down safely when the UPS system’s battery nears depletion during an extended power failure.

In a larger network setup, some computers and UPS systems may use PowerAlert Local and other UPS systems and PDUs may have stand-alone remote monitoring and control capability through internal SNMPWEBCARD accessories. The SNMPWEBCARD uses a console interface similar to the PowerAlert Local interface, but it can be accessed remotely through a Web browser or telnet. PowerAlert Network Management System (PANMS) allows the network manager to monitor and control all these resources from a single interface. PANMS automatically discovers each UPS system or PDU connected to the network through PowerAlert Local or an SNMPWEBCARD–up to 250 total. All the functions available for each device through the PowerAlert console are available through PANMS, including rebooting connected equipment, individual outlet control, load monitoring, custom startup/shutdown sequences and more. Additional mass configuration tools, alarms, notifications and sorting options make it easy to manage the power resources for an entire network. Proactive power management is a key benefit of PANMS. Alarm notifications alert managers to network power conditions, allowing them to detect and correct power problems before they affect productivity.

PowerAlert is available as a free download for Windows and Linux.
