CAUTION

When the COM port is configured to perform the UPS application, all future Local Management connections must be made by establishing a Telnet connection to the module. Ensure that the module has a valid IP address before saving changes to the COM port application. If the module does not have a valid IP address and the changes are saved, refer to Appendix B for instructions on clearing NVRAM in order to reestablish COM port communications.
