Digital Energy™ GT Series
4 - Communication
4.1Description
The GT Series UPS is equipped with a communications interface, providing RS232 and dry contact protocols in one sub-D 9-pin female connector located at the rear of the unit. The communication port on the UPS can be connected to a computer. This port allows the computer to monitor the UPS status and control the operation of the UPS in some conditions. Using proper UPS management software and cable, the UPS can be managed in LAN/intranet/internet environments.
Some computers may have a special connector to link this communication port, or require a special plug-in card, or need a special UPS monitoring software. For specific information on GE Digital Energy connectivity products please contact your local dealer @ 1-800-637-1738.
The dry contacts (4.3) and (optional) SNMP plug-in card (4.4) can be connected at the same time. However, if both are operating simultaneously the remote shutdown facility for the dry contacts will not be available. Battery low and AC failure functions remain unaffected.
The pin assignment of the interface connector is defined as follows:
