13.4.1 Modes
The operational mode of the port. Each communications port operates in one of
the following modes:
Terminal mode
System events are logged immediately as they occur.
Calibration
Used only by service personnel.
System Config.
Allows you to set building alarms, battery tests, etc.
(Check with your Sales or Service Representative for availability.)
Computer
Provides a proprietary Binary Computer Mode (BCM) Interface
for Powerware facility monitoring or network communication via
ConnectUPS.
Remote Monitor
Sends all system event information to an RMP, RIM, or SCM.
Available for Port 1 only.
Port 1 and Port 2 cannot be in the same mode simultaneously; they must always be
operating in different modes. The modes are described later in this chapter.
13.4.2 Rate
The baud rate of the equipment connected to this port. The baud rate determines
the speed of data transferred between the SSBM and the connected equipment.
For Remote Monitor mode, the baud rate must be set to 300. All other modes
should operate at the highest baud rate available with the connected equipment.
300 baud is not recommended for any mode except Remote Monitor.
You can select a baud rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19,200.
