Single-Port Card
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 environment. If a power
emergency occurs, the software initiates the saving of all data and an
orderly shutdown of the equipment.
The cable pins are identified in Figure 32 and the pin functions are
described in Table 3.
