Communication Port Configurations

To establish communication between the UPS and a computer, connect your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied communication cable.

C A U T I O N

To prevent damage to your equipment, connect only a factory-supplied cable or a cable built to factory specifications (see Table 2) to the communication port. A standard serial cable may damage your computer.

When the communication cable is installed, power management software can exchange data with the UPS. The software polls the UPS for detailed information on the status of the power environment. If a power emergency occurs, the software initiates the saving of all data and an orderly shutdown of the equipment.

Communication Indicator

When the UPS receives a command from the computer to establish communication, the Communication indicator on the UPS front panel illuminates (see Figure 10 on page 12). When data is transferring, the Communication indicator flashes.
