Verkonhallintakortti FSP MPF0000400GP — SNMP, Fast Ethernet 100 Mbit/s, RJ-45

The FSP MPF0000400GP network management card provides remote monitoring and control capabilities for compatible UPS systems via SNMP and a Fast Ethernet 100 Mbit/s RJ-45 interface. Designed to integrate with data center and IT room environments, the module offers a standard network connection for status reporting, event notifications and basic configuration tasks without requiring direct physical access to the UPS. The card supports common SNMP-based management tools and can be added to existing network infrastructure to centralize power equipment monitoring.

Advantages

The network management card supports SNMP for interoperability with network monitoring platforms and delivers a stable 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet connection over an RJ-45 port, enabling predictable network performance. Its design allows continuous remote access to UPS status, alarms and logs, reducing the need for on-site checks. The card is compatible with multiple UPS models, providing a single interface for centralized management and easier incident response.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring centralized UPS monitoring
• IT departments managing multiple UPS units across a LAN
• Remote sites where physical access to power equipment is limited
• Environments using SNMP-based monitoring and alerting systems

Key specifications

• Network protocol support: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
• Network interface: Fast Ethernet 100 Mbit/s
• Connector type: RJ-45 (copper Ethernet)
• Primary function: Remote monitoring, event logging and basic UPS management over IP
• Integration: Works with SNMP-compatible monitoring software and network management systems

How to use

Install the card into the compatible UPS expansion slot following the UPS manufacturer's installation instructions. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port and to your local network switch or router. Configure network settings such as IP address, subnet mask and gateway via the UPS or the card's setup interface, and register the device in your SNMP management system by adding the card's IP address and community string or SNMP credentials. Verify communication by polling standard UPS OIDs and testing alarm notifications.

Recommendations

Use a managed switch or VLAN segmentation to isolate UPS management traffic for improved security and reliability. Keep firmware and SNMP credentials up to date, and configure alerting thresholds in the monitoring system to ensure timely notification of power events. For critical deployments, combine network monitoring with local logging and periodic on-site inspections.
