5. Communication Port

5.1 RS-232 and USB Communication Ports

To establish communication between the UPS and a computer, connect your
computer to one of the UPS communication ports using an appropriate
communication cable.

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.

The cable pins for the RS-232 communication port are identified as below, and the
pin functions are described in Table 6.
