700 Communication

701 Communication Options

Best Power offers several methods of communicating with your FERRUPS:

CheckUPS Software: Each FERRUPS unit ships with CheckUPS power monitoring and unattended shutdown software. To begin installing CheckUPS, see the instructions in the CheckUPS CD case.

CheckUPS uses an RS-232 serial link to communicate with the FERRUPS, and it provides you with up-to-date graphics of UPS power and system data and power flow. CheckUPS also gives you a complete record of critical power events, and it notifies you of important UPS or power information. If there is a power outage and the FERRUPS battery power becomes low, CheckUPS can automatically shut down your computer system before the UPS Low Battery shutdown to protect your data.

RS232

Communication: You can connect a terminal or a computer with terminal emulation software to the FERRUPS’ communication port. This allows you to receive information from the FERRUPS or send commands in order to display and program parameters. For more information, call the nearest Best Power office.
