Communications

RS-232 INTERFACE

This female DB9 port connects your UPS via an RS-232 cable to a workstation or server equipped with Tripp Lite software. The port uses RS-232 communications to report UPS status and power conditions. Using this port, Tripp Lite software can monitor and manage network power, automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support at (773) 869-1234 for information on available SNMP, network management and connectivity software and products.

RS-232 signals and operations include: load level, battery status, battery level, operation mode, AC input voltage, AC output voltage, AC input frequency, temperature inside unit, set shut-down delay time, enable/disable alarm and remote shutdown.
