6.2 Communication Port (standard)
To establish communication between the UPS and a computer, connect your computer to the UPS
communication port using the supplied communication cable.
When the communication cable is installed, power management software can exchange data with
the UPS. The software polls the UPS for detailed information on the status of the power environ-
ment. If a power emergency occurs, the software initiates the saving of all data and an orderly
shutdown of the equipment.
The pin functions are described in Table 2.
