Configuration Program—Installation

An easy-to-use installation program streamlines the installation of the configuration program. If you

have a previous version of this configuration program installed, Liebert recommends uninstalling it

by using its Uninstall program before installing this updated version.
1. Use the Windows Explorer to find and open the Lbt_gxt2-2.1.exe installation program.
2. When the installation program begins, you see the presetup window, shown below.

3. This will open the main installation screen. Click

NEXT to continue with the installation screens.

Liebert recommends using the default installation

options, but users may modify the standard entries.
The installation program will also install an uninstaller

program along with the UPS configuration program.

Establishing Communication Link with the
UPS

Only use the serial communication cable supplied with

the configuration program.

Use the serial communication cable to connect COM1 or COM2 of the host computer to the DB-9 com-

munication port on the rear of the UPS. If the COM port of the host computer only has a DB-25 pin

connector, a DB-25-to-DB-9 adapter must be added.
The program may be used while the UPS is On to read settings, confirm the current settings and

change some settings. The UPS must be Off and powered by the AC utility when using the configura-

tion program to change some specified UPS settings.
On-screen prompts will advise the user if the UPS must be turned Off for a configuration program

operation.
Select Lbt_gxt2.exe from the

program group to start the con-

figuration program. The pro-

gram will search COM1 &

COM2 for a properly connected

UPS. When the UPS is found,

the opening program window

will display the UPS model.
If the configuration program

fails in its attempt to read data

from a UPS, this error message

will be displayed. The program

must communicate with the

UPS when it first opens, when a new tab is opened, and when the REFRESH, APPLY or OK buttons

are pressed.

NOTE
If an accessory communication card has been installed in the Liebert IntelliSlot port in the

UPS, the option card must be removed while using the configuration program.
