Abstract
Status information for a network device, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), may be provided by displaying a web browser window uniquely associated with the network device and having a color indicative of a status of the network device. In particular, a field of the web browser, such as a background field, may be color coded responsive to a status of the network device. According to further aspects of the invention, a plurality of web browser windows may be concurrently displayed on the same display screen. The plurality of web browser windows have visual appearances that convey respective statuses of respective ones of the network devices according to a common visual coding scheme, such as a color coding or image coding scheme.
