Configuring the Serial Ports
You must configure the port for communications using the LCD screen and pushbuttons on the UPS Monitor Panel.
Select Port 1 or Port 2 (optional) from the Setup menu to display one of the Setup Port screens. The screens for Port 1 and Port 2 are identical, and allow you to specify settings for the two serial communication ports. Figure 43 shows the Setup Serial Port 1 screen.
