12.3.1Modes
Each communication port operates in one of the following modes:
STerminal Mode – System events are logged immediately as they occur.
SSystem Configuration Mode – Allows you to set building alarms, battery tests, and other UPS functions. (Check with your sales or service representative for availability.)
SCalibration Mode – Used only by service personnel; available for Port 2 only.
SComputer Mode – Provides an Eaton proprietary Binary Computer Mode (BCM) Interface facility monitoring or network communication via a Powerware
.ConnectUPS Card. Available for Port 2 only.
SRemote Monitor Mode – Sends all system event information to an RMP, RIM, or SCM; available for Port 1 only.
Port 1 and Port 2 cannot be in the same mode simultaneously; they must always be operating in different modes. The modes are described later in this chapter.
12.3.2Rate
The baud rate determines the speed of data transferred between the UPS and the connected equipment. For Remote Monitor mode, the baud rate must be set to 300. All other modes should operate at the highest baud rate available with the connected equipment.
You can select a baud rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200.
NOTE 300 baud is not recommended for any mode except Remote Monitor.
