3.3.  Communication Port Explanation 

The UPS is equipped with a true RS-232 communication port as standard 

to  provide  communication  with  bundled  UPS  monitoring  software  for 

remote monitoring of the UPS status using a PC. 

In addition, there are six optional interface cards available to meet various 

communication needs: USB, EPO, DCE (dry contact relay card), R2E, USE, 

and an SNMP/Web card. (Please see Chapter 8.) 

The  software  bundled  with  the  UPS  is  compatible  with  many  operating 

systems, including Windows 98 / Me / NT / 2000 / 2003 / XP / Vista / 2008 

/ 7 / 8, Novell, NetWare, Unix, Linux 2.6.x, Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, Mac 

OS  X  v10.6  Snow  Leopard  please  contact  your  local  dealer  for  suitable 

software. 

All communication ports including optional cards can be active and used 

simultaneously  to  monitor  the  UPS  status.  However,  only  one 

communication interface at a time (the one  with the  highest  priority) can 

control the UPS. The priorities of these communication interfaces are as 

follows (highest priority first). 

1) EPO/ROO input port

2) Optional interface card

3) Optional USB

4) RS-232

the UPS.

4.1.  Unpacking 

Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The packaging is robust, but accidents and 

damage may still occur during shipment. Notify the forwarder and dealer if

the UPS itself.

A. User Manual
B. IEC output cables (for UPS with IEC sockets only)
