UPS Serial Communications Menu

With the UPS Serial Communications (Main) Menu, you can view or select UPS communication modes, baud rates, and LAN configurations. To change or display the current communications configuration:

1.Connect the UPS serial port to a video monitor with a serial interface or to your computer’s serial port. If you are using OnliNet or LanSafe software, the UPS should already be connected to your computer.

2.Set your terminal so that it matches the baud rate of the UPS (usually 2400 baud, 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit). Refer to your terminal or operating system documentation for details on configuring the terminal communication settings.

3.At the terminal prompt, press Control-Cuntil the UPS Serial Communications Menu appears.
