Running mission-critical applications and connecting widely-distributed nationwide and global operations are key strategic initiatives in today’s business organizations. The ability to provide a steady, clean and undisturbed power flow to IT hardware in the network is paramount in keeping the systems available at all times.

However, the primary purpose of the IT infrastructure is to process, store and protect the information that is stored or en-route in the network. The data itself, and the ability to move it and process it at any given time, is priceless.

Eaton ® LanSafe ® power management software provides, in combination with an uninterruptible power system (UPS), the best possible protection for this valuable data. Whether at home or at work, LanSafe has you covered with its unique, proactive riskmanagement features.

Why Use LanSafe

Software?

1. Prevent system crashes – when a power failure outlasts the UPS battery runtime,

LanSafe automatically performs a graceful operating system shutdown.

2. Avoid data loss – LanSafe saves all work-in-progress.

3. Protect valuable applications

– LanSafe protects from corruption by closing applications in an orderly fashion.

4. Stay informed – monitor and receive UPS alarms via network broadcasts, SNMP, email, pager or mobile phone.

5. Control your power – manage all UPSs on the network, check battery health, and create sequential shutdown scenarios.

6. Communicate with NMS - integrate UPSs into the

SNMP network management system.

7. With support for Eaton

Powerware, Eaton models and APC UPSs, you can manage a multi-vendor power protection infrastructure with one power management software package, LanSafe.

LanSafe - The revolution of power management

The next generation of LanSafe power management software introduces a number of revolutionary features to the power management arena.

Cost Savings Calculator

The patent-pending Cost Savings

Calculator can be used to determine the amount of money saved by the UPS solution due to prevented downtime.

Stealth Mode Operation

The exclusive Stealth Mode

Operation feature enables

LanSafe to run invisibly in the background without visual traces. This capability is particularly useful when integrating the application into a

POS, ATM, or other environment where users should not be aware of LanSafe.

Three Optional Views

The 3-D PowerScope View, along with a new innovation, the

ControlRoom View, takes the guesswork out of understanding

UPS metering and status information. PowerScope is the default for viewing single-phase

UPSs while ControlRoom serves as the default for three-phase

UPSs. The third display format available is the History View, which allows users to review a year of UPS events at-a-glance, in a calendar format. The favorite default view can be changed at any given time via the LanSafe preferences menu.

Automatic Regional

Settings

LanSafe incorporates Automatic

Regional Setting Detection with local language support capabilities. Date, time, temperature and UPS receptacle graphics are automatically selected according to the operating system’s regional settings. Measurements are displayed around the globe in formats users are familiar with.

With intuitive views and functions, a simplified installation procedure, and an array of powerful new features, comprehensive power management has never been easier.

How would you like to view your UPS today?

LanSafe offers three user- friendly, custom views for monitoring status, metering information and the internal workings of a UPS. Each view provides a different level of available data, allowing various user groups to select the most compelling and useful view for their specific needs.

PowerScope View

The default view for singlephase UPSs is the 3-D

PowerScope, which provides crisp, real-time animation of the power flow through the

UPS components. Status and metering information is intuitively available at-aglance, in a graphical format.

UPS component topology is automatically detected depending on the UPS model used.

ControlRoom View

The ControlRoom View is the default view for threephase UPSs. It provides a comprehensive listing of UPS metering data including inputs, outputs, battery and UPS status information. Color-coded LED status indicators draw attention to UPS alarms.

Output status panel

Bypass/misc. panel

Displays important status information – stay informed of UPS temperature, fan and bypass status, etc.

View logs

Check previously occurred alarms and status changes

History View

The LanSafe History View provides a 7x24x365 visual representation of the system event log in a calendar format.

UPS events can easily be reviewed by year, at-a-glance.

Color-coded dates display power events that have occurred in the system.

It has never been easier to review historical power problems: what happened, when it happened, how severe the event was, as well as how often it has annually reoccurred. The user may focus on any calendar date to obtain information on the event time, along with a description of the problem.

Stealth Mode Operation -

The invisible sentinel

The Eaton-exclusive Stealth

Mode Operation feature enables

LanSafe to run invisibly in the background without visual traces. This is particularly useful when integrating LanSafe into a point-of-sale (POS) system, automatic teller machine (ATM) or other environment in which user-awareness of LanSafe is not an option.

When enabled, the user will not see any UPS alarm popups on local ATM/POS computer monitors due to power problems. However, system administrators monitoring the

ATM/POS network still receive remote SNMP alarms to their network management systems.

Cost Savings Calculator -

Discover the bottom line

The Cost Savings Calculator

(patent-pending) feature is used to determine the amount of money saved by the UPS due to prevented downtime. With this innovative new tool, LanSafe will do the math and generate reports using statistical data gathered from that specific UPS, based on the number of power failures and blackout duration.

Calculations can easily be exported to spreadsheets, email and other applications. The user, according to their environment, enters the base costs for calculations.

Cumulative data

LanSafe keeps track of the total time the UPS has been on battery and the number of power failures

Export calculations

Paste cost savings calculations into your favorite reporting application

One-time cost

One-time cost per incident factors include data loss, customer transaction failure, and hardware and software infrastructure damage

Per hour cost

Per hour cost factors include hourly rates for idle employees and missed transaction opportunities

Automatic regional settings detection

LanSafe incorporates automatic regional settings detection with local language support capabilities. Date, time, temperature and UPS receptacle graphics are automatically selected according to the operating system’s regional settings. Measurements are displayed around the globe in the formats users are familiar with. Any of the detected settings can be overridden manually.
