NOTE:
These steps are specifically for the Powerware 9125 UPS equipped with a ConnectUPS

MX SNMP module. These steps use the default addresses and subnet masks for the S8700
Media Server for Multi-Connect Configuration. If other addresses are to be used they must
be substituted when performing these steps. Refer to the filled-out Job Aid entitled
Pre-Installation Network Planning Forms -- S8700 Media Server for the proper data.
1 Connect the services laptop computer (RS-232 serial port) to the DB-9 connector on the
back of the ConnectUPS MX module for UPS 1. Use a DB-9 to DB-9 serial cable
(supplied with the ConnectUPS

Avaya Terminal Emulation and HyperTerminal are supported terminal emulation
programs. Terranova is not supported.
