Serial Communications

13.1Description

This chapter describes the serial communications feature of the Powerware 9315 Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM). Two serial communications ports on the SSBM allow you to connect equipment to view

system event information.

The following sections describe the serial communications feature, and provide information about connecting hardware, setting up the ports, changing settings, and changing modes.

13.2Locating the Communications Panel

The Customer Interface Panel inside the SSBM contains two serial communications ports, one DB---9 and one DB---25. The ports provide a computer interface to a Remote Monitor Panel (RMP), Relay Interface Module (RIM), Supervisory Contact Module (SCM), or remote terminal and/or printer. The Communications Panel also contains terminals (TB1 thru TB7) for connecting your equipment to the SSBM. Refer to drawings 164201373---4 and 164201373---13 in Appendix A for location of the Customer Interface Panel inside the SSBM.

13.3Connecting Equipment to a Serial Port

The SSBM is designed to accept a wide variety of Data Communication Equipment (DCE) such as terminals, printers, and computers to each port. Set up the remote equipment using the appropriate parameters for the mode you select. The following section provides more information about configuration.

The cables you use for connection depend on the equipment you are connecting to the SSBM. Cables should be no longer than 16m (50 ft). The connectors for Port 1 and Port 2 on the Communications Panel in the SSBM are female, so the

cables into the SSBM should be male. Figure 13---	1 shows the pin assignments for
Port 1, and Table 13---1 describes them. Figure 13---	2 shows the pin assignments
for Port 2, and Table 13---2 describes them.
