2.5 Communication / Interface Options, continued
RS-232 Connections with desktop IID:
With the desktop IID the cable connecting the computer or terminal to the UPS
is a nonstandard type.

5. RS-232 TERMINAL COMMUNICATION
Terminal Emulation Setup
If you are using a terminal emulation software (such as PROCOMM) to
communicate with the CFR, use the following setup:
Emulation Type: VT100 or compatible
Duplex Mode: Half Duplex
Xon/Xoff Flow Control: SID: ON, IID: OFF
RTS/CTS Flow Control: SID: OFF, IID: ON
Line Wrap: ON
Screen Scroll: ON
CR Translation: CR
Back-Space: N/A (See NOTE 1)
Break Length: N/A
Inquiry: N/A
NOTE: Back-Space and Delete characters are ignored by the
CFR. In the event of an incorrectly typed command, you should
press Enter and type the command again.
5.13 RS-232 Terminal Setup
RS-232 Cable Diagrams
The RS-232 port on the CFR follows the Data Communication Equipment (DCE)
pinout. To connect this port to a terminal or a host computer (which uses a DTE
pinout) you need a standard off-the-shelf (straight through) RS-232 cable. Depending
on your computer, you need a “ 9 to 9 serial cable ” or a “ 9 to 25 serial cable ”.
However, if you decide to make you own cable, see Figures 6-7. This Figure shows
the cable that works with both SID and IID. If your CFR has a SID interface, then you
do not have to wire up the RTS and CTS signals.
