7.5.1 Mode
The operational mode of the port. Each communication port operates in one of the following modes:
Terminal Mode | System events are logged immediately as they occur. |
System Configuration | Allows you to set building alarms, battery tests, etc. |
Mode | (Check with your sales or service representative for availability.) |
Calibration Mode | Used only by service personnel. |
Computer Mode | Provides a proprietary Binary Computer Mode (BCM) Interface. |
Remote Monitor Mode | Sends all system event information to an RMP, RIM, or SCM. |
| Available for Port 1 only. |
Port 1 and Port 2 cannot be in the same mode simultaneously; they must always be operating in different modes. The modes are described later in this chapter.
7.5.2 Rate
The baud rate of the equipment connected to this port. The baud rate determines the speed of data transferred between the UPS and the connected equipment. For Remote Monitor mode, the baud rate must be set to 300. All other modes should operate at the highest baud rate available with the connected equipment. 300 baud is not recommended for any mode except Remote Monitor.
You can select a baud rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200.
