5. RS-232 TERMINAL COMMUNICATION
5.1 Remote RS-232 Operation
Introduction:
This section of the manual describes how to monitor, control and
calibrate the CFR-UPS using RS-232 ASCII commands and how to navigate
through the program using the menu structure.
The RS-232 serial interface is designed to work with terminal emulation
software in an interactive mode. Various parameters and commands may
be accessed either through the menus or by typing the number associated
with the desired functions. See section 5.3.
RS-232 menus have a hierarchical format. The top level menu, which is
also called the OPENING MENU, can be accessed by pressing the ENTER
key (which sends a carriage return character). This menu lists the numbers
for accessing other sub-menus plus displays the current LINE status and
pending ALARM conditions.
The figure below shows the typical opening menu screen which displays
the menu options 1 through 7 followed by status and alarm messages. The
INPUT LINE shows the current status of the AC line which may be
PRESENT; FAILURE; or TEST MODE. The ALARMS message lists all
current alarms. For a complete description of alarms refer to section 5.12.
