Communications

“SMART” DB9 Port: Your UPS’s DB9 port can be used to monitor and control your UPS using the RS-232 protocol.

RS-232 communications are very complex but are easy to implement. The easiest way to monitor and control the UPS using RS-232 is to connect the UPS to a computer with a DB9 cable and install Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert software on the connected computer.
