Remote Notification
Remote Notification providesthe user with the option of receiving
alarms and notices at a remote location. Remote Notification also provides some
basic controls that can beperformed remotely on the UPS. Remote Notification
operates through a standard computer modem. Using the Terminalmode, the user
calls the UPS to perform basic monitoringand control. 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 mo dem(refer t o Chapter 7,
“Serial Communications”). Connect ion 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 directlyto the U PS RS---232 port. Remote Notification differs
from the basic Terminal mode with the addition of Call Answer,Call Out, and
Housekeeping functions. The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the
UPS from a remote location and enter Terminal mode. The Call Out function allows
the UPS to be configured to call either a remote computeror numeric paging
serviceoverthephoneline. CallOutallowstheUPStocallaremotecomputerand
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. The Housekeeping function maintains the link betweenthe UPS and
modem.
