required. This procedure shows you how to set up a data file for the specific UPS machine, generate a configuration data
record and then access the file to observe the configuration history.

details to identify the connected UPS.

it will be stored in memory.

dialog.

UPS by turning

its input supply then turning it back

OFF
the UPS input supply then turn it back
