Netwatch Clients monitor the activity of a single UPS through communication with the ConnectUPS, BestLink or NMC. Netwatch alerts the user(s) of a server or workstation whenever a power failure occurs. During an extended power failure, the ConnectUPS, BestLink or NMC informs all configured Netwatch Clients that it is time to shut down their respective operating systems, thus preparing them for the removal of AC power. 2.0 Firewall User Notice NetWatch normally requires UDP ports 200, 2844 and 2845 for communicating with Connect UPS or BestLink card and ports 4679 and 4689 when communicating with a MGE NMC. If your system uses a Firewall, then these ports must be unblocked. See the Advanced Network Settings help file topic for more information about UDP port configuration. 3.0 System Requirements 3.1 Supported Platforms Operating systems are running on 32-bit processors unless otherwise specified. * Windows Windows XP () - Home - Professional Windows Server 2003 () - Standard - Web - Enterprise Windows Server 2008 Windows Vista () - Home Premium
