USB Communication Port

This port can connect your UPS to any computer for automatic file saves and unattended shutdown in the event of a power failure. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and appropriate USB cable. A PowerAlert CD and USB cable may be included with your UPS; if so, insert the CD into the CD tray of your computer and follow the instal- lation instructions. If PowerAlert Software and a USB cable did not come with your UPS, you can obtain the software FREE via the Web at www.trip- plite.com. Any user-supplied USB cable may then be used to connect your UPS to your computer. NOTE: This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection.
