The second line of this menu gives a general indication regarding the communication between the
UPS units composing the system.
The numbers represent the single UPS units.
The letters M and S stand for MASTER and SLAVE respectively.
The brackets [ ] around a letter indicate that we are working on that specific UPS unit.
A question mark next to a number indicates that that UPS unit is not communicating on the
data bus.
Let us assume to have the following situation:
system composed of 4 UPS units;
UPS2 is currently the MASTER UPS;
we are checking the data communication on UPS3;
UPS4 is not communicating.
The menu will be as shown below.

The string on the second line may have two values, “POWER” or “REDUNDANT+x”.
POWER means that the parallel system is so set as to require the presence of all the UPS
units to feed the load.
