5.3.3Monitoring an Uninterruptible Power Supply

If the 2E4X-27 is connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) device for protection against the loss of power, a connection from the 2E4X-27 COM port to the UPS can be made to monitor the power status of the UPS. To use the COM port for this purpose, it must be configured to support the UPS connection using the procedure described in Section 5.7.10. Refer to the UPS documentation for details on how to access the status information.

The Console Cable Kit provided with the 2E4X-27 is used to attach the UPS to the 2E4X-27 COM port as shown in Figure 5-2.

To connect the UPS device to the COM port of the 2E4X-27, proceed as follows:

1.Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable to the COM port on the 2E4X-27.

2.Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the cable into the RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter.

3.Connect the RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter to the female DB9 port on the rear of the UPS device (see the particular UPS device’s user instructions for more specific information about the monitoring connection).
