Tripp Lite by Eaton LX Platform SNMP/Web Interface Module — Remote Cooling Management for Select Models, TAA

The Tripp Lite LX Platform SNMP/Web Interface Module is a pivotal upgrade for data center cooling infrastructure, designed to unlock round-the-clock visibility and control over compatible LX platform cooling units. This compact, network-ready module puts powerful remote cooling management at your fingertips, allowing you to monitor temperatures, adjust setpoints, and fine-tune fan and cooling parameters from a secure web interface or through standard SNMP management tools. Built to align with TAA requirements, it’s the practical, scalable solution for IT teams prioritizing efficiency, reliability, and centralized operations.

• Seamless remote cooling management: Access real-time temperature readings, cooling setpoints, fan speeds, and unit status from any browser or SNMP management system. With centralized control, you can optimize performance, reduce energy waste, and respond quickly to environmental changes without on-site visits.
• Web-based interface plus SNMP visibility: The module combines a user-friendly web GUI with standard SNMP capabilities, enabling both intuitive configuration through a dashboard and integration with existing network monitoring tools. This dual-access approach makes day-to-day adjustments straightforward while supporting proactive alerts.
• Secure, scalable monitoring for select LX Platform units: Designed to work with select Tripp Lite LX platform cooling units, the module scales across multiple cooling devices in a rack, row, or data-center environment. Centralized oversight helps maintain consistent cooling performance across your footprint.
• Comprehensive alerting and event logging: Set thresholds and receive alarms for over-temperature conditions, fan failures, or unit faults. The built-in logging and alerting capabilities enable rapid incident response and easier post-event analysis for root-cause determination.
• Ready for modern IT environments, with TA A compliance: The SNMP/Web Interface Module is designed to integrate into regulated contexts and is compatible with Trade Agreements Act requirements, supporting procurement and deployment in government, education, and enterprise settings that demand compliance and traceability.
