Serial Port
To establish communication between the UPS and a computer, connect your computer
to the UPS serial port using the supplied communication cable.
When the communication cable is installed, HP Power Manager 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 are identified in Figure 16, and the pin functions are described in
Table 2.
