1.7 Connect your CS121 ...

In generally you can choose between 3 ways to configure the CS121-adapter:

• By using the serial port you can make the configuration via a Terminalprogram such as e.g.

Microsoft-HyperTerminal. This configuration-mode allows you to make the fundamental

settings for network connectivity and for defining the event and action-settings.

By using a LAN-connection you can make the configuration via Telnet or Webbrowser:

• The configuration via Telnet supports the same interface as the configuration via

Terminalprogram.

• The configuration via Webbrowser allows you to make all kind of settings and configurations.

If you have any possibility, we recommend you to configure the CS121-adapter via this way.

Note: External versions: At the CS121BL in configuration-mode a zero-modem

cable (not included) may be connected to COM1. Please use a Terminal

program to configure your CS121 via this connection. Option: At UPS

with a DIP-Switch to configure between the UPS built-in serial port and

outside serial port (e.g. UPS from PHOENIX TEC) you may insert the

CS121BSC into the slot and use the original UPS cable for configuration

via Terminal. We recommend to use the webbrowser as configuration

interface.

1.7.1 ... via serial port

The SNMP adapter incorporates two serial ports (not BL and BSC-versions), whereas COM1

(see figure “Connectors of the CS121” above) provides the connection to the UPS and COM2

is used to configure the SNMP-adapter.

CS121BSC:

At the CS121BSC in configuration mode you can use the original UPS serial cable of the UPS

and the in-built RS232 UPS interface to connect your CS121BSC via a Terminalprogram.

For the CS121BSC exists also the possibility to make the configuration via COM1. Therefore

you have to set DIP-switch 1 in Position OFF and connect to COM1 port to the serial port of

your workstation.

Configuration cable (not CS121BL/BSC):

Your package contains a configuration cable, which connects to the serial port (COM2) of the

SNMP-adapter and the serial port of a PC with terminal software. It is sufficient to use a Dumb-

Terminal or Terminal-Emulationprogram, such as e.g. Microsoft-HyperTerminal. During the
