Using the Management Port

Introduction The Management port of Share-UPS allows you to connect a modem or DTE (data terminating equipment — a dumb terminal or a computer running terminal emulation soft- ware) to the Advanced port (port 1) of Share-UPS. Upon establishing communications with Share-UPS through the Management port (see “Logging on to Share-UPS” on page 31), you will access the Share-UPS menus. The Share-UPS menus provide the following features:

•Out-of-band notification

•UPS status display

•UPS control

•Share-UPS configuration

The next paragraphs in this section describe these features.

Out-of-bandWhen you use Share-UPS with an external modem and a

notification pager, Share-UPS can notify system administrators of prob- lems, such as:

•UPS is operating on battery

•UPS has returned to On Line status (utility power restored)

•UPS has a low battery

•UPS has been shut down

•Battery needs replacement

•Abnormal UPS conditions or faults
