USB Port
The UPS is also equipped with a USB communication port. Either the DB-9 communication port or
the USB port may be used to monitor the UPS; however, they cannot operate simultaneously.
Refer to the power management software instructions for using the USB port.
6.3 Communication Slot
The Powerware 9120 UPS has a communication slot that allows quick installation of the optional
SNMP/Web adapter or future communication interfaces. These interface adapters extend the
capabilities of the Powerware 9120 system to provide compatibility with network and remote moni-
toring/management systems.
6.4 SNMP/Web Adapter
This adapter provides the Powerware 9120 system with its own ethernet network connection,
allowing it to be remotely monitored and controlled via industry-standard internet browsers. The
HTML interface enables UPS monitoring and management from anywhere on the internet or with-
in your intranet. In addition, third-party Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) software
packages may also be used to communicate remotely with the Powerware 9120 system.
