12.1 Description
This chapter describes the serial communications feature of the Powerware  9330
10 kVA---20 kVA and 25 kVA---40 kVA UPS. One serial communications port on the
UPS allows you to connect equipment to view system event information.
The following sections describe the serial communications feature, and provide
information about connecting hardware, and using terminal mode.
12.2 Communications and Expansion Ports
The the rear of the UPS contains one DB---9 Serial Communications Port. The port
provides a computer interface to a remote terminal and/or printer. The the rear of
the UPS also contains a 120 VAC, .2A convenience outlet for powering a modem
used for remote notification. In addition, expansion slots are provided to extend
customer communications options (refer to Chapter 7 “Operational Controls and
Features”, for a description of the available options). Refer to Appendix A for location of
the Customer Interface Panel on the UPS.
12.3 Connecting Equipment to a Serial Port
The UPS is designed to accept a wide variety of Data Communication Equipment
(DCE) such as terminals, printers, and computers to the serial port. Set up the
remote equipment using the appropriate parameters for the mode you select. The
following section provides more information about configuration.
The cable you use for connection depend on the equipment you are connecting to
the UPS. The Cable should be no longer than 16m (50 ft). The connector for the
Serial Communications Port in the UPS is female, so the cable connecting to the
UPS should be male. Figure 12---1 shows the pin assignments for Serial Port, and
Table 12---1 describes them.
