5.6.2Computer interfaces RS232 and USB

The UPS offers various interfaces to manage the system and to comfortable readout state information and important parameters. The protocol is optimized for operation with the shutdown and UPS management software “CompuWatch” from AEG. To connect to the UPS use the provided RS232 or USB cable by attaching them to a free port of your pc.

RS232 interface: The interface is connected via a 9 pole Sub-D connector on the back of the unit (pos. 4 p. 24 / 25). PIN configuration: 2 = RxD; 3 = TxD; 5 = GND.

USB interface: The connection via USB is recognized automatically (pos 5 p. 24 / 25).
