Riello NetMan 208 Slot-In Ethernet Network Adapter Card

The Riello NetMan 208 is a network communications card that enables Riello UPS systems to easily integrate into medium or large networks, ensuring secure and reliable communication between the UPS and its management software. 

The NetMan 208 network card allows UPS directly connected over LAN 10/100/1000 Mb connections to be managed using the main network communication protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP and SNMP). It is the ideal solution for the integration of UPS over Ethernet networks with Modbus/TCP or BACNET/IP protocols. It was developed to integrate UPS into medium-sized and large networks, to provide a high level of reliability in communication between the UPS and associated management systems.

The NetMan 208 environmental sensors is able to monitor and record environmental conditions, as well as activities in protected areas and the area where the UPS is installed. The environmental sensors allow management and control to be extended to cover the area around the UPS, monitoring the temperature and humidity and driving cooling fans or locks. Values are provided via Internet, SNMP and via PowerShield3 software. PowerShield3 can be used to manage sensor operating states in order to send messages. Refer to PowerShield3 software documentation for further information. NetMan 208 can manage up to 6 separate sensors. Environmental sensors are quick to install thanks to their small footprint and they do not require a separate external power supply. Thanks to the self-learning sensors, configuration is also rapid and intuitive.

Interface

Features:

• 32-bit RISC dual core processor
• Compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and IPv4/6 networks
• Compatible with PowerShield3 and PowerNetGuard;
• SNMP v1, v2 and v3 with RFC1628 for PowerNetGuard and NMS connection;
• SNMP v1, v2 and v3 with RFC3433 for the management of environmental sensors;
