It has a built-in switching hub that allows three additional network devices to be connected to the network without the requirement of additional network drops.This card is provided as standard equipment with the UPS.

NOTE

The Modem card cannot be installed in X-Slot 2.

Modem card - provides “out-of-band” remote notification and monitoring using modem communication directly to cell phones and pagers.

Relay Interface card (AS/400) - has isolated dry contact (Form-C) relay outputs for UPS status: Utility failure, Low battery, UPS alarm/OK, or On bypass when interfacing with IBM® AS/400 computers, other relay connected computers, and industrial applications.

Industrial Relay card (IRC) - indicates the operating status of the UPS system using the customer’s monitoring equipment.The IRC uses four isolated normally-open or normally- closed dry relay contacts to indicate the UPS status. Normal, Bypass, Battery, and Alarm modes can be monitored.
