RS-232 and USB Communication Ports
NOTE: The communication speed of the USB port is fixed at 2400 bps.
To establish communication between the UPS and a computer, connect your computer to
one of the UPS communication ports using an appropriate communication cable (supplied).
See Figure 15 for the communication port locations.
When the communication cable is installed, power management software can exchange
data with the UPS. The software polls the UPS for detailed information on the status of the
power environment. If a power emergency occurs, the software initiates the saving of all
data and an orderly shutdown of the equipment.
