Ok..here's what it is...it protects your network against surges, brownouts, and spikes.
PowerAlert Plus lets administrators shut down networks remotely.

When a power failure occurs, the Smart 2200 RM's battery backup maintains power to the unit and its connected machines. However, you need to know about the power failure. You can set up multiple notification tools, such as paging, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messages, and broadcast messages to selected systems across the network via PowerAlert Plus.

Hope that helps you... :cool:

check the power options control panel - ups tab. If you are not connected to an external battery backup (power and data cable) then you don't want to have anythign defined. It should simply say none.
