In the modern business environment, communication and sharing
information is crucial. With computer networks becoming larger
and more complex, a constant power supply is vital to the
operation of our organization. Your computer system relies on the
battery backup of an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) to
maintain network integrity when the main power source fails.

10BASE-T is the name given to the Ethernet protocol that runs
over Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable. The Management
Module uses an RJ-45 connector for connecting your network.

Token Ring is the name given to a network that uses token
passing technology in a sequential manner. Token Ring networks
use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable or Shielded Twisted-Pair
(STP) cable. The Management Module uses either an RJ-45
connector or a 9-pin connector for connecting your network.
