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:

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

AFour separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers).

AAutomatic answering (user−configurable) for access to the Terminal mode of the UPS.

ARemote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events.

AError 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:

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

ACall 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.

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