POWER OPTION IN WIN 2000/XP
This relay card has the ability to provide UPS
signals for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003. First
connect the RS232 port on the PC to the relay
card as shown:
Then open the power option from control panel
and click on the UPS tab to setup the signals
polarity, select Positive for Power Fail, Low
Battery and UPS
Shutdown.
Since the R1~R6
contacts are
programmable,
the output
contacts can be
configured for 3
computers with 2
signals (power fail
and low battery) or
6 computers with
one signal (power
fail or low battery).
Note: All of the computers must have the same
earth ground potential. Connect all of the
computers input power to the same UPS.
