Your remote monitoring equipment also needs a reliable source of backup power. A major service breakdown is no time to lose visibility of your remote sites.

If your remote monitoring equipment is offline during a power outage, you will not be able to:

1. Get status of backup power supply
2. Receive environmental alarms for overheating, fire,
   and water damage
3. View site security, door, gate, and intrusion alarms
4. Get all other equipment alarms as well as lose any
   terminal server visibility that the device may provide
5. Control remote equipment that may be part of
   restoration, such as starting up a generator
