Installation and Setup

To allow for unattended UPS shutdown/start up and status monitoring, connect the communication cable one
end to the USB/RS-232 port and the other to the communication port of your PC. With the monitoring software
installed, you can schedule UPS shutdown/start up and monitor UPS status through your PC.
The UPS is equipped with an intelligent slot for either an SNMP or AS400 card. When either an SNMP or AS400
card is installed, it will provide advanced communication and monitoring options.
