NOTE The X-Slot communication bay is connected internally to the DB-25 port by default; the DB-25 is disabled for other uses. Contact your Eaton service representative to purchase, install, and set up an external modem or an internal X-Slot Modem Card.

NOTE Refer to the service documentation for detailed Remote Notification information.

For connection and setup of a modem or to enable Remote Notify features within the UPS, please contact Powerware (see page 1-2).

Remote Notification provides the UPS with the capability to use a standard off-the-shelf PC modem as a telephone interface. The features provided by this option are as follows:

￿Call a remote terminal or pager based on programmable events and alarms.

￿Four separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers).

￿Automatic answering (user-configurable) for access to the Terminal mode of the UPS.

￿Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events.

￿Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems.

Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and notices at a remote location. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the UPS to perform basic monitoring. In the event of a UPS alarm or notice, the user is notified at the remote location. The UPS calls through the modem to the user’s computer or pager and leaves a message.

Remote Notification is an extension of the Terminal mode with the additional support algorithms necessary to control an external modem. Connection to the UPS is made when a user calls the UPS on the phone. The user has exactly the same capabilities as if using a terminal connected directly to the UPS RS-232 port.

Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition the following functions:

￿Call Answer – The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the UPS from a remote location and enter Terminal mode.

￿Call Out – The Call Out function allows the UPS to be configured to call either a remote computer or numeric paging service over the phone line. Call Out allows the UPS to call a remote computer and leave a one-line descriptive message of the alarm or notice condition. Numeric paging support allows the UPS to call a paging service and send numeric messages.

￿Housekeeping – The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS and modem.
