1.2.4. REMOTE COMMUNICATION CARD

Remote communication board
(the code CS0098), gives
possibility of monitoring and
communicating with UPS.
Monitoring can be implemented
with the PC and dedicated
software or through a remote
panel. There are also voltage free
contacts available on the terminal
board M1
(more info at pages 21-22)

1.2.5. UPS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

The “UPS MANAGEMENT” Generex communication
software allows interaction between UPS and PC or
the network based on Windows, Win-NT, Novell, OS2,
Dec, and Linux operating systems.
The software is used to monitor and control
parameters of one or more UPSes supplying the
network (more info at page 23)
