Eaton Gigabit Network Card (Network-M3) – Enterprise UPS Network Management Module SNMP

The Eaton Network-M3 is a Gigabit Ethernet network management card for Eaton UPS systems, designed for IT infrastructures, telecommunications, and data centers where remote monitoring, real-time alerts, and integration into power management platforms are mandatory requirements for critical infrastructure. It installs into the expansion slot of compatible Eaton UPS units, converting a standard UPS into a fully network-manageable device without additional management hardware.

The Gigabit Ethernet interface delivers fast and stable communication between the UPS and management systems, eliminating the limitations of legacy 10/100 Mbps management cards in environments with high management traffic loads. Native support for SNMP v1/v2c/v3, HTTP/HTTPS, and Modbus TCP enables integration into NMS platforms, DCIM systems, and automation infrastructures without additional middleware. SSL/TLS encryption and password authentication protect management interface access against unauthorized entry in networks with strict security policies.

The Network-M3 provides real-time monitoring of UPS parameters — voltage, current, temperature, battery status, and alarm events — with notifications via email, SNMP trap, and Syslog for rapid response without continuous manual oversight. Compatibility with Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) software enables centralized fleet management of UPS units, automated server shutdown on power loss, and energy reporting for consumption optimization in datacenter environments.

Recommended for IT infrastructure administrators and datacenter engineers equipping Eaton UPS units with a Gigabit management card for integration into SNMP systems, DCIM platforms, and shutdown automation workflows where remote monitoring, real-time alerts, and management access security are the primary requirements of critical power infrastructure.
