Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices maintain a continuous supply of
electric power to connected equipment by supplying power from a separate
source when utility power is not available. Astaro Security Gateway supports
UPS devices of the manufacturers MGE UPS Systems and APC. The communication
between the UPS device and Astaro Security Gateway is made via the
USB interface.
As soon as the UPS device runs in battery operation, a notification is sent to
the administrator. If the power failure persists for a longer period and the
voltage of the UPS device approximates a critical value, another message will
be sent to the administrator — the Astaro Security Gateway will be shut down
automatically.
