Connecting the UPS to a Computer
The communication device for the UPS and PC comes as a complete package with power management
software. Only the communication cable provided with UPS may be used to connect to your computer,
which is accomplished through the UPS RS232 port. Also ensure that the operating system on your
computer is supported. Instructions provided in the power management software will help with this
installation.
Other advanced power protection solutions such as SNMP are provided by your dealer.
RS-232 Standard Interface port
The RS-232 interface uses a 9-pin female D-sub connector. This information consists of data about utility,
load and the UPS. The interface port pins and their functions are identified in the following table.
USB port (option)
Connecting the UPS to your computer is accomplished through the USB port on the back of your
computer. USB compliant hardware and operating system will be necessary including installation of a
UPS driver. The serial port cannot be used when using the USB port. The USB cable is standard and can
be bought separately.
